Default I've rented my last track-day helmet.
<center><img src="http://i21.ebayimg.com/02/i/05/cd/39/23_1.JPG"></center><p>There's something cool about owning a helmet. I continue my gradual deterioration into track-hack status.

What's the logical progression from here?

&gt; Helmet (open face, then closed face, then HANS)
&gt; Anything made of nomex.
&gt; Track-only wheels.
&gt; R-compound tires.
&gt; 5 point harness.
&gt; Track-only car with trailer and Yukon.
&gt; Divorce.
&gt; Gentleman racer.

Default Wow. A surprise ebay win. I'm slipping faster than I thought.
I bid on these wheels in THREE different auctions, and in the prior auction they went for over $700. I am going to have to sell my A6 4.2 wheels FAST to make room.<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=8033150677&amp;ssp agename=ADME%3AB%3AEOIBSAA%3AUS%3A11">AMG Wheels</a></li></ul>

Can one afford to be a gentleman racer AFTER a divorce?

My progression would probably have divorce higher on the list.

Default You're probably right. Somewhere in the progression, I would need to inherit...
... a great deal of money. Not likely given the current parental structure.

Very nice. Obviously you don't have a manual trans, or else driving shoes would be listed.
