Ah, Joe, you're dealing with a generational (gap-ish) issue.
The 150 miles to Indianapolis was the nether point of my high-school travels (well, maybe it was a bit more, since I-65 hadn't been built yet). But then, we lived in more spartan times and it affects our judgement of today's norms.
However, my inclination is to think that 2 grand would pay for a bunch of lessons with a top-flight private teacher.
