>go to a regulated track and drive Ugh, what a stupid comment. Yeah sure, let me not only have 1 car, but now 2 cars, a trailer to legally transport the manual car.

      Yeah, the expensive hobby isn't mandatory for everybody anymore, in fact it is banned on public roads, and the better alternative is readily available for people who don't want to shell out the cash for the quaint older method. What is the problem here?
