Cru is right - there isn’t much you can do for a mere $1000, but it is a start… in small increments at a time you can add some things that will give you better track times. As others have indicated, the money spent on mods should be considered a hobby or entertainment. It's clean, safe fun – not an investment. But the car in general is a cost component, not an investment.
At least he's not spending a grand on strippers when he tells you he's at the track (or maybe he is
).

There is no mystique in visiting the strippers anymore (at least I don't think) since he knows he can go whenever he wants. The only catch is that I don't let him go alone - can't make it too easy for him now can I?

She's not supposed to know about you and me. And by your own statement, that implies you're the catcher.
