AF, I need you to help me decide what to do

Well I missed out at a 240sx without an engine. It was only 3 hours away from where I lived, and the guy was even including front and rear bumpers off a sylvia. Guess how much it sold for? $2100. I would have bought it, but then I was thinking more about the whole money issue. Then two nights ago someone hit my car in a parking lot, and now it looks like I'm going to get a nice settlement from his insurance compnay.

On the whole racing issue, I will not be able to race to compete, because I can't race Saturdays. That means that I cannot go and race at the racetrack, as in SCCA club racing. I can however go Autocrossing, and I can just run my car on open track days. I thought that I would be able to get a subsidezed student loan for like $10k, but now I know I won't be able to do. Another thing on the racing: I don't want this to become an addiction, this is just something that I want to do for fun maybe for the next few years, but as soon as I get a real job/start a family I plan on giving it up.
