My neighbor has a rail car similar to yours that he run at the Gatornationals track during the season. He also has a Jr. Dragster that his son races. Those little dragsters are amazingly quick for what they are. I've thought about building a rail myself as I used to do some dragracing at the track in my Trans Ams and Corvette. It's not a matter of space or money but just the time required whick I just don't have.
man!!! lucky you.. it's not about the space or money but the time!!!! man ill whitch you!! you can have a little of my time for some of your space and money!!!!! heck!! even adopt me!! you can teach me the guitar on workdays and ill give you some of my weekend time for some cash!!!

I'll pass on adopting you. My son is starting college in a year and my daughter is starting to take after her mother on what cool things money can buy. Now if you an 18 year old blonde Swedish girl, I might have to reconsider. :hilarious

I'll give you some advice instead. (Teach a man to fish sort of thing.) You are only 23. When I was 23, I barely had 2 nickels to rub together. I'm far from being rich and nowhere near my goals, but I am very comfortable which is a relative term. Three rules to live by:
1. Get a college degree. Never underestimate the power of a good education. It doesn't guarantee you financial success, but it will improve your chances. Wealth isn't all about money either. It took me reaching 40 to realize that. If I had to do a career all over again, I would pick something I enjoy more. Information Technology has been good to me, but I'm getting sick of it more and more. I would much rather have been a college professor.
2. You never get rich making someone else money. Work for yourself after you put in some time working for others to gain the experience you need to succeed. Better to pay your dues and build a firm foundation than jump out on your own too early. I worked as an independent consultant for a few years making very good money, getting very good tax writeoffs and putting some cake away for number 3. I gave that up for a local job to be home at night with my family as I was traveling a lot. Some things are more important than money.
3. Learn to invest in the Stock Market. Every dollar you make in the market now becomes money to earn even more money. The market has been very good to me and I was able to take some of the money I earned working for myself and having that work for me in the market. I'm not a traditional stock trader. I don't invest liquid cash long term. I flip stocks for a quick 1% to 3% gain in a matter of hours or days. I buy and short stocks so I make money when the prices go up and make money when it goes down (Hopefully anyway). It takes money to make money so you need enough for 1% - 3% returns to be significant. 3% on $1000 is $30 which barely covers your commission. But, 3% on $50,000 is $1500.00. That's a lot of money to earn in a few hours to a few days. You can't do it all the time. It's like playing blackjack. You lose a few hands but if you win more than you lose you make money. This is not for everyone and has a very high risk.
Patients Grasshopper. It not the destination, it's the journey. A good friend that recently lost his wife told me that when you lose someone you love, you don't wish you would have worked more and made more money. You wish you would have spent more time with the ones you love while they were here.
