I want to go rallycrossing. For those of you who don’t know, rallycrossing is just like autocrossing, except instead of doing it in a parking lot, you do it in an open field. On dirt. In cars.
Ain’t no way in Hell I’m taking the Camaro (which is approximately 55.39% sanded). Not after I spent all that time and money sanding it, painting it, and sanding half of it back off so I can repaint it right. I think I’ll buy something.
So what type of car should I get? Camaros and Firebirds are cheap and available for under $1000, but they’re awfully low to be offroading. I drove one through somebody’s yard once (on purpose, in broad daylight, while sober, with Norr in the car) but that hardly counts.
I’d like a wagon if in case I ever buy a kayak. But a big wagon won’t handle, a small one can’t haul any more than my Beagle, and every other person will have one of those damn AWD Subarus.
Also, should I spend some real dough and get something reliable? Maybe with good gas mileage, so I could give the Beagle a bit of a break? But it seems pointless to get something nice and race it on dirt. Autocrossing in paved lots tears up cars but autocrossing on dirt REALLY tears up cars. But I hate having a car I can’t rely on. And I don’t want to replace the Beagle, either.
I just remembered I have a Trans Am that doesn’t run at the shop. And I just forgot about it. Moving on….
I could get another Beagle. Mine needs a trim piece or two. I saw a slightly older one with way higher miles (and no supercharger) for sale for $2500. But that seems steep – I can get a similar car in similar shape for around $1000.
Anyway, there’s also the matter of me liking weird ass cars. I saw a 3 cylinder Geo Metro for sale for $950. There’s a Ford ex-cop car for $2000. And of course, there’s that 2 door Chevette for $750! Imagine showing up for a race in a Messerschmitt Kabinenroller, or an Apperson Jackrabbit?
I’ll give you 90 bucks to fix up a golf cart.
