Unless you're filthy rich - and I get that some of you are - it's hard to legitmize this level of expense on, e.g., a monthly habit as unproductive as this one (haha).

FYI:
1) Plenty of track days from $100-150 (in SoCal)
2) If you go regularly, you can buy multi-event packages and save significantly (e.g., Lockton with $65k declared value is $418 for one event but $241 if you do 15).
It's still not cheap (and wear and tear definitely adds up...), but seems hard to legitimize buying an M3 only to putz around on the street
