    Guns have always been my favorite hobby, I just picked up a new Smith and Wesson M&P AR15 rifle about 3 months ago. Any mod money I had for the car has gone into the gun. Here is the progress of the gun, a lot more stuff is in the mail right now hahaha.

    K&N Cold Air Intake, Smoked Side Markers, Smoked Taillights, Smoked reverse lights, Blacked out RS badge and Chevy Bowtie emblems, Tinted Windows 20% around, 2 12" Type R Alpine Subwoofers with 1400watt Kicker amp, Blue dyed stitching.

      M&P 15 sport? I can't make up my mind between the sport or the M&P 15-22 for the price of 22LR ammo.

        Stevo, I purchased a .22 Smith and Wesson Handgun plus had the Marlin .22LR sitting around so I figured I'd go with the 5.56 and actually use it to its fullest. We did the Tactical model. Here is the exact model.

        Product: Model M&P15T - 5.56 mm, Tactical

          If you are going to do that you might as well get a 5.56 and just get a .22 conversion kit. You could have the best of both worlds.

            I totally agree with that. AR15's I see as a 5.56 weapon or larger.

              I was going to start with the 15-22 and then eventually buy the m&p 15 at 5.56. I have looked at the conversions and for the price difference I think its worth spending a little extra and having two full guns.

                My saltwater tank update:

                Got new lighting for the tank. Led flood lights.

                    did some more work to the tank. Almost done with what I "want" out of it. I promise I will start back in the car hobby soon!

                    Updated rock work:


                    Added some coral:

                        Just bought a $400 R/C camaro for my son for Christmas. It's going to be another hobby for us. This thing does 53mph (real not scale) out of the box. Have a feeling it's going to be expensive!!

                            Electric, couldn't find anything I really liked in nitro. This one seems like it will be easier to maintain and HPI parts are easy to get.

                              Get one in the shop! An easy way to occupy the kids when parents bring them in with them.

                              Which one did you get exactly? I miss my R/C cars. LiPo batteries?

                              The hobby can get expensive really easy. I recommend a wide open parking lot to learn on before using the drive way or street. Those curbs come up quick!

                              When something breaks, replace with titanium parts instead of plastic.

                              Also if the body comes pre painted, Go to al's hobby shop in elmhurst buy another Camaro body and Paint it to exactly match your car.

                                I bought the HPI camaro, it already matches my car exactly. I can buy replacement yellow/black bodies for $30 when we break them.
