Come to the middle of Colorado and say that. 5 hour tow one way to the closest track.

Yup.^ I hit the same point a couple of years ago. They take up a lot of space for something you use four times per year.

I have the opposite problem. I could literally be on track every single day of the week if I "could". The problem I have is that I also have a job, kids, and a fairly limited amount of funds. The net is the same. I have two track cars I can only use infrequently.
I just ate the last strawberry popsicle, which my wife had put aside for herself. I just blamed my eldest son who isn't home.
and how bad is it going to be when you finally have to fess up ? 
Hopefully you can stall until you get to the grocery store.

Okay, why the berkeley is the company there then?

Fresh box of popsicles dispatched to freezer. My frame-up job dies here!
I love race cars. I love watching them come off the trailer first thing in the morning. I love wandering around the paddock, watching crews work on them, nose cones and spoilers stacked to the side. I love the sounds of them firing up, and the smell of race fuel. Love the liveries, the sizes, the shapes, the colours. I love that my media pass gets me access to every aspect of all the big races at Mosport, and it's fantastic finding a great corner to shoot from.
Big confession... racing itself bores me to tears.
Oh the irony! It's a tough job Lesley, but someone's gotta do it.

Sometimes in the Summer, I'll go to Lime Rock twice a week. I love the smell of burnt racing fuel and the sound of the engines. I spend most of the time looking at cars in the paddock. I like to see how cars take a set at the end of the straight and lean into the corners. But I watch very little racing.

The dynamics of racing really get me. I love watching the lines, the suspension function how the cars lean, all of that.
Confession- if I could choose one motorsport, and one motorsport only, it would be.......
Monster truck racing. No E36 M3. The appreciation the drivers show the fans, the engineering that have taken the trucks from jacked up f150s to the tube frame wonders they are, the outlandish paintjobs and personalities.... I love the stuff.

Because there's more to life than racing cars, and I have yet to find anywhere else I'd rather live in the US.
About ten years ago I was driving at night through a residential area and someone's black dog ran in front of me and was run over. I didn't have the nerve to stop and find the owners to tell them, and I've felt bad about it ever since.

My father-in-law hit a dog in a rural part of Alabama. I asked why he stopped down the road. "When you hit a mans dog in Alabama; you don't stick around".

wow, you can't even say "and i ran over it." that's some serious guilt / denial.

I feel this confession was coerced.
I have my yearly physical in 35 minutes and at 50 years old I am still creeped out at my Doctor when he wants to check for a hernia - "okay; drop your shorts". I imagine I will get the "bend over the table" comment too.
Yeah, totally not digging the next 90 minutes.............

You could make him as uncomfortable as you are by just moaning and grinding a little.
I don't let on that I'm more than slightly worried whenever my wife heads off in the 964. She loves the car. Drives it at least four days a week. At lunch today she just went for a drive to blow off steam, just because she enjoys driving it that much.
It's been a moody beast for me, stalling and not restarting without some DME shenanigans 5 times now. I worry that it's going to do it to her eventually. It seems to love her though and is nothing short of perfect when she's behind the wheel. I really think it might be her car. I have mixed feelings about that.

so that means he can't be prosecuted ...coerced confession = inadmissible

because my dad died of prostate cancer, i get finger-banged every couple years (started at age 40). my doc always says "and this is where my male patients are glad they've got a female doc. our fingers are smaller!" the worst part of the whole deal is the K-Y dribbling out for the next hour.
TMI?
Don't worry unless you feel both hands on your shoulders...
