I own 5 cars. I have an old car a lot of old men want. They're pretty common though. Doing a brake upgrade then that thing is for sale. Not sure if that's a collection or stupidity.

The next one doesn't have much monetary value, but I find it priceless.
About 10 years ago I began requesting unreleased tracks from assorted electronic artists via twitter. It began by noticing songs in mixes that I couldn't find, then it progressed to just asking if there was an unreleased track they would feel comfortable sharing. I would always guarantee I would never share the file (and I never have).
I ended up with 11 tracks that I think are the bees knees. They're not all great and a couple don't sound mastered and I find that to be pretty rad.
For a while, I followed Figure so much, he would DM me secret shows and let me know where he'd be performing Halloween early to ensure we could get tickets.
I don't care about music near as much as I used to.

- Please, tell us more about your cars. I am all ears. (I own 3 at the moment but wouldn't call that a collection, just nerdism.)Longcopylover

- How long have you been incubating your eggdrgs
- DCA since the 2021 peak! woohoo. HODL for life.shapesalad

- I didn’t realize they get better with age. What’s the rarest?scarabin
- How much you invested so far, and what do you think current collection value is?shapesalad
- If it's good tobacco it works pretty much like aging wine. And it's basically the same storage conditions. Don't have anything super rare.haga
- Partagas Serie D Especial Edicion Limitada 2010 maybe. Rare in the sense that they just made a certain amount of boxes.haga
- Do different vintages have different tastes? Can you tell what year a cigar is from?drgs
- Shape, low balling I'd say they're worth $20k but probably closer to 25. But much more if I go over my ten years and sell them at an auction.haga
- And just counting what I paid for what I got now and not counting all the stuff I've smoked over the years I'd say $7k maybe.haga
- Drgs, crops tend to taste different but it's not like you can tell if it's a crop from 14 or 16. Some years are better than others. They smooth out with age.haga
- How are your lungs?shapesalad
- thought that first shot were shipping containers...wordssssss
- Oh, they're great. Just did my yearly check up. A little high on the cholesterol, though.haga

- Holy.. shit. I thought I was cool for having some old smuggled Montecristo 2s (actual Cuban) from back when they were illegal.garbage
- Guessing you're a purist, so you'll probably hate that I blunted them. Grab your DeWalt, carefully incrementally bore a 11/64 center about halfway down.garbage
- Extra fine grind on your favorite flower (Thai Diesel tastes amazing with No 2), gently pack it in. Best blunt ever.garbage
- Are your walls and ceiling brown?drgs

I collect vinyl records as some of you may be aware, but earlier today the local paper came round my house to take pics and interview me about a rare 7" single I found recently. When they publish the article next week I'll share the press clipping with you (unless they do a rubbish article and make me out to be a bit of a twat)
- No way... you collect vinyl?! ;-)
Look forward to the article mateIanbolton - what's the 7"?robthelad

I collect vintage 90s mountain bikes.
Currently in my garage I've got:

* 1992 Bridgestone MB-3
* 1990 Bridgestone CB-1
* 1992 Bridgestone X0-3
* 1993? Trek Multitrack 720Not all of them are in rideable shape. Rebuilding and restoring them is kind of an off-and-on hobby of mine.
