My buddy bought his E46 M3 on the way to Barber Motorsports Park. It must be an M3 thing...which is to say AWESOME.
Think you’re hardcore? Less than 24 hours after registering it, Mister Fister’s “new” E46-chassis BMW M3 was already wearing numbers. And that was just the beginning.

I think Andy Hollis has to get some sort of award here for running the One Lap in a new GTR he'd owned for less than a week. His ratio of total mileage to race mileage is excellent.
For me, it was about a week. And it wasn't a car purchased to be a race car.
I autocrossed my 2002 two weeks after purchase back in 1970. My competition was the salesman who sold me the car, in another 2002. He paid for may entry fee. I beat him, had to pay my own entry fees after that . . .
Corvette was the following weekend, still not registered. Changed the engine oil, went auto-x'ing.
Bought Wednesday, stickered and at autocross Saturday.
On the way home from the dealership. Hour one.
I took the Corvette out to Blackhawk four days after I bought it. I was the only one out there with a temp tag...
Sunday purchase, 900 mile tow, one day parking lot build to racing Friday in the $2014 Fiero fiasco.
Other than that purchased my first miata on a Wednesday put new wheels and tires on it before Saturdays autocross event.
Bought Saturday morning, raced Saturday night. Four blown shocks meant I was a laughing stock. Did some suspension work that week, took it back out the following weekend and I airmailed a rod which resulted in taking out 15 cars on my oil slick. Racing delayed 90 minutes. Not a popular guy.
