The Idea of Project Cars…

February 2nd, 2012 · No Comments · Musings, Random

TweetWhat is it that makes the idea of having a new project car so appealing? Am I the only one who’s always thinking about the next project instead of focusing on what I’ve got in front of me? ^Current Project: New suspension and tires for the S2000…. Need $$$ :/ I’m probably having way too [...]

TweetThere are plenty of times that I wonder if my life will ever get easier…. Mostly because it seems to always be up in the air. This time, it’s kind of my fault. Because I quit my job. I turned in a one week resignation notice on Sunday. By the end of the week I’ll [...]

Carbuzz put together this great infographic on the Nürburgring and sent it my way, I knew I’d have to share it. I love anything and everything ‘Ring related and I can’t wait until I can [...]

TweetThis winter has been pretty blah. Last year by now we had had a few feet, resulting in the impromptu purchase of the Legacy that we had. Ever since we bought the STi right before summer, we couldn’t help but look forward to finally driving her in the snow. Well, irony had it that it’s [...]

Searching for the Dream Career

January 12th, 2012 · 1 Comment · About Me, Random

TweetI almost hate to phrase it this way, because it seems almost too prevalent…. “Find your passion!” “Follow your passion!” “If you live your passion, the money will follow!” Well, clearly the money comes first in racing…..

Note on Ride Height

January 10th, 2012 · 2 Comments · My Cars, Rant

TweetThis is a little note to those annoying people who understand nothing about suspension geometry… Dear Stance Idiots, No, I will not be “slamming” my S2000. Ever. She’s much happier having some usable fender gap so that her fenders aren’t interfering with her tires when we’re turning. We had an absolute blast driving a twisty [...]
