It's not that I'm lazy, It's that I don't care.

I'm still a relative noob to the track thing, only been on a road course once and only a handful of auto-x, but after experienceing that little bit, its so much more fun. You're opponents are skilled (relatively) and you know they are trying their hardest. So, when you beat them, you beat them. There is no bench racing afterwards like "well, I thought I saw a cop so I backed off a little, thats the only reason you won."

But, what I don't understand, is how someone can afford an STi but not the pads/fluid/tires/etc to race it (if thats what you want it for). If the car is straining your budget that much, then maybe you shouldn't have bought it in the first place.
Its not really straning my budget. I can afford winter tires, the basics..but not a lot of it if i was to start on the track. Im also paying for photography stuff, since thats what im doing for a living, and that aint cheap. Im lucky that im living at home, but ill probably be moving out soon.
