    remote control car racing get a good little battery operated car for a couple hundred bucks and thats all you need every now and then you might have to buy a replacement parts if something breaks or new tires but thats a cheap way to go if you wanna get into racing.

    to kinra: lol, that episode was great
    to spitzu: well, that is how alot of proffesionals start, when it comes to tattoos, orage skin has the most realistic properties compared with humans, and besides, its better to screw an orange than some big biker dude that'll bash your face in with a crowbar when you mess up lol

    Many hobbies are something that other people find dull, unless it is a group hobby. For instance, my two great loves are snakes and video games, and my husband finds them both dull. So I talk to other snake people about snakes, and I play WoW so that I can interact with other players.

    My husband and I volunteered at a no-kill cat shelter for a while back in Utah. That is a very rewarding hobby to have.

    Walking/hiking is also pretty satisfying. Getting out into nature can be very soothing and good for you. You might even see some snakes!

    On that note, you could always check out field herping.

    I would recommend flying lessons, but they are not cheap. Maybe put together a model car, or take up bowling.

    www.sporcle.com <----- that'll keep you busy for a few months.

    Aside from Sporcling/gaming (Sims & Big Fish) and snake-ing, I'll list some of my other hobbies for your consideration... not all are "low-budget," but most can be made "affordable" enough.

    - Photography
    - Road tripping (just go anywhere!)
    - Writing
    - Playing music on violin/viola, piano & guitar
    - Watching classic movies, both at home & a local classics theater
    - Hiking/walking (with my dog)
    - Yoga
    - Swimming & hot-tubbing
    Lolo's Collection...
    Ball Pythons: 0.4 Normals, 1.0 Pastel, 1.1 Mojaves, 1.0 Black Pastel, 2.0 Spiders, 0.1 Lesser, 1.0 Orange Ghost, 0.1 Honeybee

    Oh, I've always wanted to learn how to fly! Told myself I'd take flying lessons after finishing graduate school, but it's still too darned expensive.

    Model car-building is fun too... I used to be really into that as a kid, which some people thought was unusual for a girl. Judging by my grown-up hobbies of collecting snakes & tattoos, I've clearly never been the feminine type.
