My husband and I are expecting a baby and are looking to buy a new car but we disagree on what is important. I want something practical like a station wagon, but he wants something a bit more sporty. What are the most important things to look for in a car for a young family? Has anyone had the same disagreements and if so, how did you resolve them?

You are right there. When my brother was racing in circuit racing in the 1970s it cost about $200.00 to $300.00 to buy race suit, helmet, leather shoes, fireproof underwear and balaklava. You would be lucky to buy fireproof safety racing boots for that now. His suit was also rinsed in Calgon mixture to remove any laundry soap powder. The last I heard a few years ago their suit alone was about $1000.00. My 2 cousins only raced at Rowley Park Speedway. The guy he has part time pit crew for went down to Mt. Gambier and into western Vic. a few times. He stopped doing it as he runs his own business + was doing a bit of circuit racing at the time. It became to stressful trying to manage everything all the time. You also have to have a specialised medical with your GP on a st time basis (I can't remember how often) More expense.
