I sooooo need to learn how to weld. My sister's BF keeps offering to teach me, I just gotta find the time.

Thanks! I really loved that car, despite it being a total piece of shit (from the factory, not because of anything I or someone else did to it). Picked up an IS300 last fall. Plan on a road course build at some point. It's bone stock for now.
Sweet! My neighbor (also a car/video game junkie) has a red top swapped S13 and a B18 swapped CRX that we did together last summer. He's attempting a wire tuck on the 240 right now. I told him its a bigger project than he could ever imagine, and he's quickly figuring that out. At least the motor/trans and interior were already out of the car. Makes that mod a TON easier.
Planning on anything specific for the S14, or just a highway cruiser?
Doc, my wife has turned me over to the dark side of tea drinking. Although I can't drink it boiling hot like you folks seem to. I don't how she does that shit. Right from the tea pot to her lips. It literally burns me when I try to do that LOL!

LOL!, i can only drink it when its very hot, but im weired and put the milk in after the water, so its not boiling hot, plus it tastes the best when its hot!
wiggy:
Oh yeah, she does the milk thing too. Still, that doesn't cool it down enough for my wimpy American mouth ;D She tells me that I drink it when it's cold, but in reality it's still warm, just not super hot.

I have all kinds of other hobbies besides games.
In my teen years and early twenties I was very into skateboarding and making videos of it with my friends. I was decent at it and won a few local contests even. I still enjoy it to this day although I'm nowhere near as good at it as I used to be but it's still plenty of fun.
I also like to snowboard in the winter. I still do it often although I'm more into cruising down the hill now az opposed to spending all day in the park hitting the same jumps over and over again.
I'm also really into music ( mainly punk, rock, and Indy) and used to play drums. Haven't been able to play in a few years since I moved into a town home and the noise would be too much for the neighbors. Rock Band is the closest I can get now a days. I'd love to learn how to play guitar some day however I feel like I'm too old (30) to start learning. I can't see myself finding the time to learn.
I also like to work out / run which I just started doing a few years ago. Getting a desk job out of college combined with night courses and a brutal diet made my waistline a bit bigger which I didn't like. I more do it just to keep in shape, not to get huge or anything. I find going for a run with some good tunes on to be very therapeutic.
The last thing I'm really interested in is mixed martial arts. I used to do jiu jitsu as a kid (I still remember 5 ways to get out of a headlock - all involve nut shots :) ) and so Ive followed the sport since the beginning. I really appreciate the work that the fighters have to put in and how 99% of all the fighters show amazing respect and sportsmanship. I think it's crazy how 2 guys can try and beat the crap out of eachother for 15-25 minutes and shake hands afterwards.
So yeah. I'm into a bunch of things. I'd like to learn how to build things / mod systems etc.
I get lots of wiered looks from colleagues at work when they find out that I'm an accountant who likes to skateboard and play video games.
