Go, Speed Racer, Go!

I believe very strongly in the idea of trying your hardest to live your unlived life and to do so as early in your adulthood as possible. Your dreams and desires are there for a reason, to be realized. It's not always easy to do, especially if you dream big. I try not to have any regrets, but I do have one: when I was in middle school I had a dream of becoming a race car driver (insert Primus joke here) after I had driven a car for the first time, (a raspberry-colored 1977 Corvette, no less.) I have loved driving ever since then, but my dream has hitherto been unfulfilled. I would absolutely love to try my hand at racing. I have no fear behind the wheel of, well, just about anything, really. I have driven over a million miles since I got my license back in 1989 and have a pretty good "feel" for the vehicle underneath me when I drive. College is certainly putting a damper on all of this. There are racing clubs out there and people race street-legal vehicles all the time, but it's an expensive hobby and I can barely keep up with the maintenance on my 1998 VW Golf!

Perhaps I should start small, though I'm a bit big for go-karts!
