SCCA Solo autocross events, go-karting, ChampCar, Formula1, ALMS and Rolex Sports car racing, cars in general.
Im also a big Home Theater enthusiast. I also golf a little bit.
Im on my computer quite a bit, and haunt a ton of car/motorsports forums. I also like to debate politically online alot.
Im also a certifiable car geek, and am interested in just about anything with 2 to 4 wheels and an internal combustion engine. I like everything from old skool hot rods from the 30's,40's,and 50's (John Milner's deuce coupe from American Graffiti would be my ideal); to muscle cars from the late 60's and early 70's like Chevelles, Chargers, Challengers, and Mustangs; to basic old sports cars such as Lotus cars like the old Europa,Elan,7, or the newer Elise, old Triumphs and MG's, Alpha Romeos; to modern sport compact imports like the new Mini Cooper, RX 7&8, Honda Civics and S2000's, Acuras, Nissan Silvia,Skyline, & 350Z, and Toyotas like the Celica [:)], old school AE86 Corollas, Supras, Mr2s; to modern exotics like the Corvette Z06, Saleen S7, Pagani Zonda (my favorite), Mosler, and of course Ferraris, although I tend to favor older classic Ferraris.

Music
I like classic country (Cash,Cline,Williams,Robbins,Nelson,Parton,Wynette,etc)
also like 50's Rock & Roll....
I like classic rock like Pink Floyd, Clapton, Rush(saw the Rush concert last June---AWESOME!!!!), Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, Springsteen
I also like quite a bit of newer rock acts like Band of Horses, Disturbed,Staind, System of a Down, My Chemical Romance etc.
I used to be big into rap/hip hop but I cant stand the shit spewed out now.
I also really like this song...

About me: I live in Milwaukie,OR...
I autocross(an amature motorsport where a driver navigates a car around a course made with cones, once car at a time) our 2005 Dodge SRT-4 ACR.....
(our Toyota Celica was totalled-see video in my vid section), currently set up (not to the max) for Stock class SCCA Solo(Solo is SCCA's brand name for autocross). I've won a few local class trophies but hope to someday start picking up some good showings at National events if I can get my hands on a well set up car ;) I also like to race karts on occasion, and love going to ChampCar and ALMS races here and abroad and am a huge F1 racing fan. Im not really a NASCAR guy. Alot of people hear that you are a racing fan and they immediatelty think NASCAR. Not really for me. For me, gimme a grassroots level sports car (perhaps a Spec Miata?) on a nice road course. I love driving, any good performing car I can get my hands on, and any nice twisty road I can get to. I also like playing PS2 videogames, mostly online. I play Killzone and RainbowSix3 and GT4 most often. Ive started playing a little golf and finished lessons a few months ago, I just need to now get back on the golf course. TV-wise,my favorite show, the one that OWNS all others, the mother of all shows currently on TV, is 24. (except now the show is DELAYED till next season because of the strike!!!WTF) Jack Bauer is THE MAN.
