You're taking it out of context. I brought up track cars, you called them shitboxes and said you wouldnt drive one. I did not say "daily driver cars". My entire point stemmed from the fact that an expensive, 300hp car on the track for a novice driver is one hell of a liability in both their ability to learn and their financial well being. If you take it on track you need to be prepared to have the car come off the track on a rollback and sent to the junkyard. It doesnt happen often, but on average I see 2 a weekend. Some can be fixed, some are write offs. Its part of the risk.
Edit: Page 4 fizzle dizzled.
And I definitely understood the point you're making, I'm still not seeing how what I said was egotistical though.
