I turned 40. You can't dye your hair unnatural colors and hang out in clubs when you're old. It's stupid. And I got really out of shape and had to Do Something. Just going to ride to get in shape turned into a few centuries, then the Death Ride, then racing.
I've done track schools in a racing kart and motorcycles. It's a whole nother level. But I like having a reasonably powerful car for the street (currently a Mazdaspeed3 with some mods), just because it's fun. I don't have to use all the power all the time. That said if I was going to be serious about driving I'd get an old Miata and do track days... or get a kart.
