Me too. I would love to have a pink Lamborghini with a snow whit interior. But that is about as far as my interests in cars go. A real mechanic or technician if something goes wrong. Put gas in, check the oil every now and then and water level and that is about as good as my mechanical skills go. I got a '69 Camaro and a mechanic that works on it, not me. I'm really thinking of having it painted hot pink with the white racing stripes aver the top and having the interior redone to white. but yeah, stereotypical or not I love pink especially mixed with white.

A 69 Camaro?! That's a nice car!!

My fav car is probably a Bugatti Veyron, but it's always changing!

Yeah. '69 and Camaro. It stays covered and in the garage, closed in. Just waiting for the day I can have it painted hot Pink. I just got to get the money up after maybe a low dose of HRT or full dose and then pink and white all the way. Right now though I have too many big trucks breaking, so gotta take care of the moneymakers first.

I'm really into WWII history.  It was such a fascinating time that really shaped the course of history long after 1946.
Yeah, and also terrible. But that's how i first got an interest in history, then my interests just started going further back in time. I love games like Civilization and total war. I just love the look and class of people back then. In many ways they were far more sophisticated then we are now. For all the advances we are making in terms of acceptance we have lost so much more in terms of cultural sophistication.

You could do it the unprofessional way and buy a can of spray paint xD

Cars? Did somebody say cars? I love cars, but what I think I like more than anything else is flipping cars, buy 1 sell it, buy another. I think my lifetime passion is to drive every car I can, and to be honest I am pretty close :) in the last few years I have owned and driven an Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Maserati GranTurismo, SRT Charger, SRT Challenger and right now my 2 current passions are a C6 corvette grand sport convertible and a 2014 Corvette Stingray. I go to my local cars and coffee which is where anyone can meet me in the flesh so to speak. Last time I was there I met up with another woman who had 2 corvette and brought them to the show and I ended up spending the entire morning talking to this one woman :) See its not just for guys lol!! I am trying to think of my next car, and I am leaning towards a Ferrari California this time because I want to try the hard top convertible.

One nice thing about buying and selling a lot of high end cars is that I get invited to test drives. Since someone mentioned Camaro, I had an opportunity earlier this year to drive a 2014 Camaro Z/28 and I have to say what a beast of a car that is. Its an unreal experience. I bet it can run down almost anything on the road. It's not a practical car by any stretch but wow was it fast!!

No No No No . A '69 Camaro? Spray paint. You are so sacrelgious. ;D First all a '69. We all love 69. Second of all a Camaro, one of Detroit's finest. I wanna say muscle car, but seeing how I'm a girl, one of Detroit's finest "V" cars especially pink. Even manly men would drive that. Especially if they let all the other men know it was their girl's car.

Hmm... I'm not sure I have any hobbies that are typically thought of as male... I play a decent amount of video games, but I don't consider that a gendered hobby. It's just a medium, like film or music. I think the gendered aspect comes when you consider what types of games you like. For example, I'm more into story based and emotional games than shooters, racing games, etc. And I do like games with lots of customization.

I'm fairly tech savvy, and enjoy building and repairing computers/components and general electronics. I suppose that's more of a guy hobby, maybe? I'm not sure if I do it for "girly reasons." When it comes to that sort of thing, I'm not sure there are all that many reasons to do it, really. But I will say that if given the chance, I would totally build a girly pink computer or something. :D

I've always enjoyed hiking and backpacking - a mostly male dominated sport.  I got into DIYing my own equipment and learned to sew lightweight clothing.   Over the last few years I got more enjoyment out of the sewing (actually the designing) that the camping. 

Now that I am out to myself, I need to start sewing more girly things...?

Cars.
I do not understand cars at all!!
I know they go from A to B, I know they cost a ->-bleeped-<-load of money and will alway break down when needed most.
Yes! I'm single
And you'll have to be pretty f'ing amazing to change that

I'm very technical and build/mod computers, cars, firearms, etc, mostly for the end result being a work of art. I've always been a designer and an artist. Plus, I'm a true geek.  Before I had the courage to go to stores and get women's clothes, I designed and stiched my own. This was before internet commerce existed too. Nowadays, I'm on a whole new level of designing.  :icon_wave-nerd:
"There was a sculptor, and he found this stone, a special stone. He dragged it home and he worked on it for months, until he finally finished. When he was ready he showed it to his friends and they said he had created a great statue. And the sculptor said he hadn't created anything, the statue was always there, he just cleared away the small peices." Rambo III

Give me a "69 anything. I love '69. Firebird, Mustang, Camaro or Corvette. I just ain't good enough to do all the things myself so I will definitely pay to have it painted but the engine is immaculate with all the chrome thingies on it. Yeah I know thingies isn't a real word. Eventually I may get where I want with it. Just need to extra money and when you own trucks unfortunately sometimes it takes money to keep them running. Besides hot pink and white racing stripes if after HRT low dose or full. ???
