25M trying to make friends because apparently adults don’t show up at your house anymore

25M from Ohio. I work construction/heavy equipment so my social circle is basically: not your typical forklift, traffic cones, one guy named Mike, and whatever bird is judging me from the powerline.

Looking for people to talk to that can hold a conversation and don’t disappear after 3 messages like a Facebook Marketplace seller.

Into:
Cars (old, weird, fast, questionable purchases)
Drag racing / motorsports
Photography (cars, wildlife, random stuff that looks cinematic at 1am)
Fishing
Outdoors
Gaming sometimes (when my attention span cooperates)
Random deep conversations at inconvenient hours

Bonus points if:
You send cool pictures of projects/hobbies
You have strong opinions on completely irrelevant topics
You’ve ever bought something and immediately thought “this was financially irresponsible”

Not looking for dating or anything weird. Just trying to meet good people because making friends as an adult feels like applying for jobs.

Tell me:
-Your most unnecessary purchase
-Your current obsession

If this flops I’ll assume the bird on the powerline was my only real friend.
