If I had more time, I'd love to do all the things. But I don't have the time, and I also don't have the money.
#1) Tracking the
requires an investment in seats, harnesses, and a roll bar. I'm too tall, and the only
legal bar is the BBFW roll bar, which is a cool $1300. Plus seats. Plus harnesses. Money I'd never get back. Shame the FRZ doesn't come with a better engine.
#2) I'd love to more
and offroad things, but let's face it - NJ is not the best state for this, so that leaves driving to PA to have fun. All of the 4wd events in PA are always on Saturdays, too.
#3) Driving the
long distance blows because of the horrible fuel economy. 14-15 MPG into a stiff headwind at 70 MPH. Ouch.
#4) A GSW/Alltrack type vehicle would simplify things, still maybe allow me to have a little fun because
, give me the AWD I need for winter/mountain cabin access, and also just cut expenses. Due to the fact I work for a VW/Mazda store, I can get into a new GSW/Alltrack for less than a used one. Add a hitch and be done.
#5) Cars in general take time away from me being able to ride, which if I don't ride, I get fat. No bueno.
I'm at a point in my life where I just want to simplify things. I've had some awesome cars and had my fun, but my interests are shifting and I can have 100% of the adrenaline rush on a bike without any of the significant financial ramifications associated with driving spiritedly to get the same fix.
