Photography and Cycling are my two biggest right now. I've spent quite a bit on my camera and setup, and then a bunch on cycling, and included in that is my roof rack too (employee discounts ftmfw)
How much do you spend on other hobbies?

other hobbies? 
used to be lots of video games, but full-time job and gf have completely taken away from that...
my other hobbies are just playing sports, which doesn't really cost me much anymore.

ive been snowboarding for about 3 years now so thats where all my winter money goes. Its an addicting but expensive and fun habit. I have never bought season passes so its about 30-50 each time i go unless is a flex day. Ive spent countless money going.
i also started to BMX ride but that didnt get far. My friend gave me his bike that he wasnt using so ive been riding for a while, its just its hard and also to find places to ride with out the hassle..
Also i am learning to be a videographer so thats another expensive habit. Professional video camera which ive been loaning for a while cost more than 3 grand if i want my own and then there is the hardware and software that goes along with it that ran me a couple hundred bucks already

cycling = ~$1200
snowboarding = ~$500 (most of my big trips and gear was a birthday/christmas present)
fencing = $225
cycling is the main drain on my bank account because of the maintenance but i'm still ****ing addicted

Oh yeah you do fencing?
A friend of mine has done fencing for a long time on the national level, it's pretty insane stuff.
As for hobbies..
Mostly my car = $$$
Getting exercise
Other recreational activities which require $..
Not much else.

Aside from my car, I'm a poet. So it does not really cost a lot to buy a pen and paper, but I love books so I would year annually I'd spend anywhere from $300-$500 on books. Then there is music, so I'd spend about $200-$500 on albums depending on the year.
As far as the car hobby goes, I am not sure. I recently got into road racing so track fees and safety equipment have so far cost me around $1500 give or take. I'm heading over to RallyCross and plan on buying a beater for $300 by the end of the year. So take that into consideration.
Like qwerty said, just dream and do.

Car mods, car detailing, and photography have been my three main hobbies the last few years.
I won't even try to list out my detailing supplies, I'd be here all day, and since we're not talking about car mods in this thread I won't go into that either. haha
Photography though --
$488 - Canon EOS Rebel XT (w/ kit lens and 2GB compact flash, etc)
$65 - Sunpak 6600DX tripod
$45 - Canon large camera bag
$23 - two extra batteries
$120 - Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS lens
+ my film camera, since I'm taking photography at school now --
$140 - Nikon N65 SLR camera (with 28-80 Nikkor lens)
$30 - lab fees + lab coat haha
$100 - Ilford Pro film, Ilford Multigrade paper, film sheets, etc etc
Much more to come!
