I've had a ****ty season though you know that, I'm still getting used to not being able to do course walks and having to worry about running everything along with driving.

Sean, can you find out what parts he has and make sure that ssm is the right class for him?

That statement alone shows me nothing but immaturity and ignorance. I, for one, CAN afford a track, and DO have the balls to do full road course events (redline time attack) Does this make autocrossing inferior or less fun? No. It's a different form of motor sports...plain and simple. People who watch Formula 1 make fun of NASCAR because "they drive in circles". Does that mean that NASCAR is stupid, or any person can get into a stock car and within a day or two, do what they do? Hell no.
So, if I do road courses, why do I bother with autocrosses? Because I take what I learn from each type of racing and apply it to my overall knowledge to make me a better driver, on and off the track. There are elements in an autocross that you can't get in a road course. Road courses are smooth and easily laid out. Autocrosses require you to be more alert and aware of your surroundings, not only because there are no real "boundaries" of the road, but also because the road surface isn't perfect. That's just 1 example off the top of my head.
You can have your views and opinions of autocrossing, but when you begin passing judgement onto others because of what they enjoy doing...well.....that's just a douche thing to do. Again, not being personal to you, hell, I don't really know you. Do I want to fight you, No. Will I shake your hand and say hello if I met you, Yes. Did you put your foot in your mouth and insult a lot of people, Yes you did.

VERY well put
And for the record one weekend at a track is at least $1,000 no matter how you slice it ($300 - $400 entrance fee, half a set of tires $300 - 400, full set of brake pads $100, gas, food, etc... another $100) and us heavy high horsepower cars can actually eat up an entire set of tires pushing the cost up another $400. I've been running at autocrosses twice a month every month for 3 years and I've BARELY spent over $1,000 thus far TOTAL so from even just a bang for the buck standpoint I'll autocross every time!
