Car review sites:
Edmunds
Car and Driver
Autoblog
Kelley Blue Book (for values)

Cars to start with. If he does like sedans, I'd suggest midsize sedans so he's more space than he'd have now in the Sentra.

Toyota Camry (no brainer)
Ford Fusion
Nissan Altima
Dodge Charger
Chrysler 300 (may be over your pricepoint, not sure)
Honda Accord
Hyundai Sonata
Mazda 6 (first gen was underrated IMO, pretty good car)

I wouldn't write off crossovers either. Lower sesting position than SUVs, could possibly be easier for him to get in and out of. The market for those is pretty saturated too. Use the sites above to filter by vehicle type to find what suits your needs.

Jules Bianchi has succumbed to the injuries he sustained in last year's Japanese GP.
Sad to see him go after what was a very good 2014, but I'm also honestly relieved for his family. The last months couldn't have been easy for them.

We are spoiled to live in an era where we lose so few racers due to safety improvements, but the danger is always there, ready to strike.

Amid all the tragedies and loss that happens in the world each day, it's certainly a drop in a vast ocean, but it's still a life ended too soon.
I will hug my daughter and drink one for Jules now.

Speaking of Karting, I'm heading to do some indoor karting today with my boys (@pole Position Raceway). In a few weeks we're going on vacation to do some adventure stuff in the Delaware Water Gap area and will be hitting up this kart facility, Oakland Valley Race Park. It's kinda expensive, but the karts seem legit.

@STEAMER62 ,Break out the Fish! I couldn't wait to post these.This is my littlest girl on her first time driving anything other than a power wheels 4-wheeler!Her awareness of others on the track was uncanny,and I was blown away at the skill she exhibited!She couldn't see over the wheel(she is only 8),and still drove like a champ!One proud Poppa here!We had more fun than anybody should,the Karts weren't "Legit"(It is a Family place,so they weren't very fast)I did observation and recon to determine the best ride available(hated that it had the #48 on it )My little girl is the one in the #11.she also rode with me in the #48.

STARTING IN TWO WEEKS!!

What's this I see? For a contest?

Yup, it's for a contest.

I realize that new members like yourself may not be aware, but @GranStand Bill has sponsored several contests over the years that we call "GranStand Challenges". The winner of the very first GranStand Challenge was @socalnatv and you can see his "before and after" pictures here. The most recent winner was @Engmatic1 and he posted his prize here.

More details will be posted soon, but in a nutshell, the more you race during the contest period, the better chance you have to win. Also, the fewer penalties you have during the contest period, the better chance you have to win. Please note that winning or losing racing has absolutely no bearing on the contest. This is strictly a contest of showing up to race consistently and driving clean. 👍

Are you up for the Challenge?

 

[DesertPenguin09]

I think now more than ever I have a really good chance at winning. I always show up no matter what and haven't had any IRs for several months. We bump and bump back and that's just racing. Any major incidents get resolved on track or in the room lobby after the race. Because friends.

What are you talkin about D4 had a major melt down at the beginning of the season!
And with the new contest I'm going to pick apart your driving! I've already got a Grandstan but I could always use another

 

[Adramike]

Yea d4 was a mess the first night due to some well.. things. But I'm pretty sure I have the ghetto-est set up! I have a broken chair pushed up against the tv to hold my pedals in place lol

There are worse! There was a show me yours war a few months ago and man there are some ghetto, dyi, make it work set ups out there! Lol my favorite was the table on cups!

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Things smoothed out really quickly by week two though. Don't pick me apart too much, just keep me honest

On the other hand, if it's ever discovered that you tried to dissuade someone from filing an IR, you'll be automatically disqualified from the contest. So there's that..

Thanks for letting me know that in advance because this is very important, even in real racing. Also, how many incidents can you have on file before you are disqualified from the contest?

 

[Die_Birdy_Die]

I believe that's chatva!

OR one can do the honorable thing and self report...

It's not about getting disqualified, It only takes one point to be out of contention though!

Hey @Raw10_2u I'm guessing or hoping your throwing me a compliment. I hate the word "blocking" cause sounds like I'm doing something wrong or intentional. A lot of times I'm just not as fast as others but I tend to hold me line which I think can be frustrating for people trying to pass. I don't conciously try to block people.
Just wanted to clear that up.

Btw good for your daughter, I know what it's like to be a proud poppa!!!👍

You don't block you're just smooth. I dread getting to you when trying to get to the front! Your line is your line and pressuring you from behind doesn't work! I've tried many many times.

Speaking of Karting, I'm heading to do some indoor karting today with my boys (@pole Position Raceway). In a few weeks we're going on vacation to do some adventure stuff in the Delaware Water Gap area and will be hitting up this kart facility, Oakland Valley Race Park. It's kinda expensive, but the karts seem legit.

You'll love it man. I had intentions of going to www.pittrace.com today with a few friends, but it turns out they have an F series kart event yesterday and today so rentals are closed. Outdoor karting is 10x more exciting than the indoor stuff. Dont' get me wrong, indoor is fun, but they are typically very tight (although Full Throttle in Cincy https://www.gofullthrottle.com/ is probably the best place I've been too where there's considerably more room to "race"). Legit kart tracks are just so much more dynamic; greater variety of turns, elevation changes and did I mention room? .
