What's more fun? Watching porn or having sex?

It's the same dichotomy of quantity versus orgasmic experience...

Shaun,

Are you doing that trick of re-assembling a car inside an interior room?

It's not good. You'll figure it out/find out, before you finish. Have your GF do it instead.

Trekkor,

You need to split the “Arguing on the internet” choice into two choices: “Winning an argument on the internet” and “Losing an argument on the internet.”

If you are losing, then a track day is certainly more fun!

Where's the choice for "arguing on the Internet about what happened on the track?"

I wish I could. I'm staging everything. By the end of the weekend, that room and it's components will be built up as much as possibl into subassemblies that will just "plug in" on the rebuild. if I can get the entire car painted by June 15, it ought to be driveable by July 4.

Budget and work conspire against me so we'll see.

Who argues? Of the 40,000 you will find maybe 10 that get into any real beef. Of the 40,000, maybe 4,000 to 10,000 track their cars.

The better questions is, what's better, a $%^&&&^& or a *!@#$%&? %$##%???

Although you play by them, and religiously (pun intended) adhere to them, you clearly do not understand the rules. No one ever loses an argument on the internet, at least not in their own estimation. No one comes to these forums to learn, but rather to demonstrate what they have learned, and why it is superior to what anyone else has learned.

Anyway, "winning" or "losing", this is certainly cheaper than a track day. More bang for the buck, certainly. And since there is no real measure of performance, it is certainly better suited to some, especially those who think they are "winning".

I can tell you, at the track this last weekend, no one gave me any garbage or tried to make me feel bad about myself.
