Hi,

Yea, there are lots of racing that wouldn't really interest me. But, I admit a passion for open wheel racing of pretty much all types, including Karting.

FV is maybe the greatest thrill/$. I've twice been able to run Champ and IRL Cars at Indy (the Indy Racing Experience, and an '89 Dallara of Newman-Haas - test chassis limited to 180MPH), and while you feel the increased power and speed, the thrill factor isn't significantly greater.

I've owned my FV since '91 and average about 8-10 events a year + a few Auto-Xs. Tires last 2-3 seasons and I've never had to rebuild the engine, though I might next year. If you really want to do it, FV is a great way to go...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

The boxster is the poor man's Porsche which doesn't mean it's cheap, but it's open to a larger demographic. My parents are "vette" people and wanted me to get a corvette. I like the corvette, but domestic cars just aren't my bag for several reasons. I got the car as a college graduation present and I'm not ashamed to say it. I am greatful for things I have at the mere age of 26. I aquired the boxster 3 yrs ago and I wouldn't have picked any other car looking back.
