I'm good enough at it. Plus, having two cars 2 will mean I won't have to be fast and can take time learning when my knowledge has run short of the project at hand. $2000 is really the buy in point- adding extra bucks to run
well is part of the plan, then adding drifty parts later. After two years, it will likely become a missile.
I actually had a semi-runing s13 last year for $500 bucks. I spent about $150 getting it running slightly better. It got hit a little, insurance paid me $1200. Then I decided to get the FRS. Sold it to make the first few payments for $850. I 'm wondering if I can buy it back slightly above that. The dude seems to have gotten it running pretty well.

IF driving your car is the equivalent to having sex, then highway miles is missionary position.

I'm a marketing PhD student. I spent 60 hours this summer trying to understand all the different value determination theories. As @
Dadhawk has started to point out, it is really complex and I don't want to go back there mentally. hahaha.
Driving my car on the highway is not why I bought this car.
Oh, and @
humfrz, my research projects kind of cycle. Right now, though, some of my focal research revolves around firearm purchasing and carrying and also something we're calling service provider absenteeism. I may call on all of you for survey responses soon
