I think VR sim racing would be pretty awesome.

This actually beats all sim racing. You haven't lived until you've scraped your knuckles across a hot radiator but you don't stop working because this bitch has to be on track in an hour. I am eager to start karting for serious.

Norns doesn't have to keep a rape van on his insurance that reeks of brake cleaner and pre mix and probably looks really attractive to crackheads who need some fast cash. Also as fun as karting is, its physically exhausting and I broke a rib or something last year. It would've been cool not feeling like I was hit by a bus two or three days a week.

Racing and then having other people fix the car for you is vastly underrated imo.

I find a certain amount of Zen in loving around with old cars but everyone is different. The fact that my labor budget drops to zero and I can consider buying all sorts of stupid poo poo is a nice side effect.

Fixing broken cars is only good when you have the luxury of being slow and just enjoying it without worrying if it runs today or not. Fixing cars on a timeline loving sucks, but sometimes adrenaline helps with that. MustardFacial fucked around with this message at 00:17 on Apr 16, 2016 |

Advantages of sim racing over karting: Norns probably stayed in had a beer or two and knocked out some laps in a MP4/2 or something. I drove 30 minutes, spent 20 minutes dragging everything out and getting changed. Did an out lap and an in lap just to confirm everything was working. Took it in and the next session I got 3 corners in before the chain popped off. Found out I'm out of brake cleaner so that ended my night so I had to reverse the whole process. lol
