What *else* are you "into?" Cars? Guitars? Watches? Audio? Whatever?

I am old school, I write on paper and I have recently re-discovered fountain pens again:

F.l.t.r.: 2x TWSBI, 3x Sailor, 2x Kaweco

Heeey, a fellow fountain pen user/lover/enthusiast! Nice! I collect, restore (if needed) and use fountain pens, mostly vintage ones (1929-1965) from a German company called Pelikan. Been at it from mid-90s, the Pelikans last 15 years… I have slowed down collecting as of late due to already having quite a few but also due to rising prices and scarcity of the variants I don’t already have (prices go to low four figures and then some, not exactly pocket change for me). I mean, I have enough functional vintage pens to last a lifetime or two, especially with nibs that are just awesome.

Gearbox is sublime.
If you want a car to be an investment the key was to choose carefully. Aircooled Porsche and vintage Ferrari have skyrocketed. I sold my 993 for twice what I paid 10 years earlier. Obviously condition is paramount. American muscle hasn't faired quite so well which means bargains can still be had.

best gearbox ever made, favorite thing about the car.

I kind of want a project 944 and drop in a honda k24 for reliability
