You could always autocross your car. Less expense and risk and teaches you tons too.

Yeah, but even a few hundred bucks is more than I have. Its just NOT in the budget. Keeping the house and paying the taxes and ALL of the other expenses is on the top burner right now. Taking my car to the track for fun is a few hundred bucks out of line for me right now, way back burner, on a super slow simmer.
As it is prolly the same for alot of folks these days.
I need to make the extra bucks that are available to treat the entire fam, not just myself. They could care less about me tracking the car. But they would love to take a weekend to San Diego and visit Sea World, still just a few hundred bucks.
Thats the cost of having a family with a limited budget. You need to consider the other peeps.
When you dont you are headed to a single life again and scraping and scrounging cause all the extra money is going to child support and God forbid alimony.
Nope, I have my ducks in a row. I get to play with the car as much as I can. And Im happy. But the family comes FIRST!! Has to, otherwise there is no family and just yerself. JR
