QuickDodge, I completely disagree with this, look at different types of cars and you will find the right car and be very proud of it, Volksrods get tons of attention and they have a hugh following plus super cheap to build and maintain.

I built my "Hot Rod" from a shell, on a small budget in less than 18 months.

Here is a link to my build so you can see there are options and you don't need deep pockets to have a show winning, great driver.
