O.K. I get it.  Race car or street car. One or  the other.  I guess I'll
have to build a race car and use it for track days.  I just can't make the
commitment to the time and money  required for racing at this time.
  With that in mind, I would appreciate some help.  Could I get a really
low interest 30 year loan for about 50 Gs or so?  Or just some honest
opinions from time to time is good too.
                         P.J.
