Colby don't you think you are getting a bit over your head?! Not trying to be a dick of course, you know me. Just get a damn car, enjoy it, get some DE's under your belt, learn about these car's and their dynamics and most of all your comfort and skill with a car like a GT3. It's not an easy car to drive which is OBVIOUS, but I don't shun people who want to utilize what they HAVE and try and become a better driver and learner. Having something well beyond their capability and with a cool head not to go beyond their limits so much, will make them progress faster and faster. I mean take this from my experience , and I am NOWHERE near the limits of my GT2.
Racing will come, but it's like trying to become a pro athlete, I feel if that were your path you would have been involved somehow with motorsports, race karting and etc. a much longer time ago, but who am I to say?!

And finding the right car is like starting with good equipment in any sport. It'd be darn hard to start playing tennis with a wooden racket no matter how long you play with it.

Not at all. IMO its never too late to start. I've been waiting to try since i was little, just never had the time or funds. Look at most pro drivers. With the exception of F1 most are over 35. Like DRG13 said, "Lots of practice, coaching and Skip school for licensing..Best case scenario you'll see me next year in a couple MX-5 Pro Cup events...Worst case scenario I'll have a permanent smile on my face"

I'm doing the same as well, I just feel start already, you wont get it perfect off the bat, no one ever will as far as a car you will LOVE, a setup with your car or anything that pertains to LIFE.
Take your time though of course, it's just you are letting up on some amazing deals/GT3's, but I understand you still have your turbo. Put's you in a rough spot, same thing happened to me and those who wait patiently, get what they want in the end.
Good luck buddy.

I know and see where you are coming from, I mean from the past year I have people all of the time say your younger, you have talent and should consider it seriously. To me it's not feasible, it's an enjoyment but you are right, who in the hell knows, practice makes perfect eh?! (not really, but.. you get the idea) lol
I havent passed on any opportunities. The simple fact of the matter is that i simply cant afford another 75k car without moving the Turbo. In all the cases where i "passed" on GT3's none would take a deposit to hold the car for me.
