Hey guys,

I gave up all my crotch rockets and jet skies to start a business. All my other hobbies are not doing it for me right now. So I'm broke ans in desperate need for a new hobbie with some speed. I just bought a 2.5 nitro rustler. But now i'm looking for a on road car. I was looking at the tc3 and the RS4 but I need your advice. A nice car that will not break the bank. 2 speed would be nice since the rustler doesn't have one.

Also i Live in Clifton NJ and hang out all the time in LI, so if anybody knows a place to come hang out and run the cars fill me in.

Thanks for any help you can give.
