Yeah, sure sounds like we would. :) A couple of days ago I came across a fairly nice S14, totally done up and everything. Owned by a girl. Yet it was built by guys in a shop. Ummm.... Can't say I wasn't a bit annoyed at that. Sure, I may have someone else work on my cars, but I'm still gonna be there if I can to help out and understand exactly how it all works. I don't like to hand them over without understanding what's being done first. Where's the fun in that? (And then get a TON of credit for being a girl with a good-looking car? Please. Same guys who'd drool over a woman driving a Ferrari because it's a Ferrari and a woman driving.) Lol! Yeah, sure sounds like we would. :)

Makes blogging the best thing ever. (Behind racing, of course.) I'm a really odd person to meet. I've always been a social butterfly on the web, but can't translate it that well to actual interactions, so I tend to put people off at first unless they're kinda like me and a high-energy-level type. That and the whole car thing... It's completely unexpected. I love taking people off guard by saying, "Oh, I just like to race my cars," casually in conversation. My champion jacket is one of my most prized pieces of clothing, lol, despite being much too big for me! Awwww, thank you. :) You guys are all so sweet to me, lol. Makes blogging the best thing ever.

I give you MAD props for doing your thing and killin the road courses with the Miata that you built YOURSELF. That's alot more then most girls can say. Its a tough looking little thing. She wear the scars of time and battles proudly. When I found out you were doing a SR swap on a 240 I was like this (O.O). You don't hear/see of girls that are willing to tackle a swap. Yea I know a few that AutoX but they have not done a SR swap. Congrats on the Rookie of the Year. That's something to definitely to be proud of. It's what I was going after last year's AutoX season until one of my brake rotors warped and something that made me really one happy at the AutoX happened. Then I stopped for that season, but I'm going back this season, but with a different club. I see you with as much as respect as any other guy.
