There may be quite a few dummies out there - Myself included.

I may be stupid, but my luck seems to make up for what I lack in intelligence.

Matt,

Sell it. I only drive my GT3 on the track. I never drive it on the street. I enjoy driving my MiniCooper S much more. Unless it makes you feel good to drive a car that makes heads turn. Personally, I do not need that. On the other hand, would I have more cash I would be driving a cup car on the track and not a GT3!

+1! My Mini Cooper S is my DD and I leave my 6GT3 at the track. The Mini is so damn much fun to drive! I am tempted by the Cup car, but don't want to absorb any more expensea than already incurred through DEs...

Never underestimate luck!

I also have to say my Mini Cooper S is awsome to drive, it is refreshing to see you don't need 400+hp to have fun in a car.

although my ex daily driver was less useful than mini, the lotus exige with 190 hp is a hoot to drive on street.

One way or another, I should get a Lotus... The Elise SC, yummy... But with four cars already and no more gararge space, and the vague hope to get an F149, we will have to wait...
