I'm glad I came upon this thread. I've had my suspicions, but it's nice to get some confirmation.
If I'd won that lottery this past week, I was going to order up an EarthCruiser with a matching trailer for the race car and then enter every rally in the world. Of course, I think it's important that I also get just as excited to get my rig (cost me all of US$2000, by the way) up to snuff to spend a week in Death Valley or up on the Mogollon Rim here in Arizona, or even up into British Columbia.
As someone who's spent the last decade (and then some) hanging out in online automotive forums - mostly related to drag and rally racing - I can say with certainty that there will ALWAYS be someone with a flashier machine and more change in his bank account to play cars than you. At the end of the day, it's not the vehicles or the adventure clothing or name brand titanium coffee mugs that makes this pursuit so appealing - it's the spending time with fellow human beings AS human beings, and discovering the ways all the little things we have in common help us realize the potential in our differences.
Press on regardless.
