YOu can probably pick up a Cobra Spec Racer for $23K. Rain much there? They don't rust, all aluminum cockpit, just drill some drain holes and do above 50 mph and you stay dry. Trunk is small but will hold a nitrous bottle and duffle bag.
How much is the bid on the salvage from the insurance company? This would make a nice donor for the Factory 5 GTM mid engine car using C-5 and Z06 drivetrain.
*Note to self, drive slow over railroad tracks*
