Thanks for the insight - I think this hits the nail on the head. I'll just wait a while and see if I still want it, and if I do, I'm gunning it.

Hiring's a good idea, I'll certainly consider it in the near future. As for LSDs and doing burnouts, I don't know if that's my thing - I think I'll be happy to just have the horsepower on tap and being able properly accelerate will keep me entertained for at least the first few years. I come...
