Hopes for 2012

December 29th, 2011 · 1 Comment · About Me, Cars I want..., Year Review

TweetAlong with reflecting on the past year, I’m somewhat big on planning for the next one. It’s kinda funny in a way, because I never know exactly what could happen. While it would be weird for us to be moved again so soon, it can happen. So I do take my plans with a grain [...]

Farewell to 2011

December 27th, 2011 · No Comments · 240SX, My Cars, Photos, Random, STi, Year Review

TweetNo, it’s not quite the end of 2011 yet… But I’m certainly ready for 2012 to get here. 2011 wasn’t the worst, but it wasn’t my favorite year either. I figured it’d be worth looking back at some of the high points, though. Highlights For one, we brought home our STi. She’s been a dream [...]

More Porsche Love

December 22nd, 2011 · No Comments · Photos, Porsche

TweetYup, this past Saturday it was that time again…. Time to go and say hi to the Porsches at the dealership. With it being winter, most of them aren’t out. Even without the snow, it has been cold and icy and I don’t blame anyone for hiding their Porsches in the garage at this point. [...]

Odds & Ends #1

December 20th, 2011 · No Comments · Odds & Ends, Photos, Random

TweetEdit: Well, I tried to get these photos into the post with the captions I had added… Clearly, I’m still trying to figure out how to get posts to go up and look normal with the iPad. Sorry, I’ll keep trying to get it right! For now, there are captions up, even if the pictures [...]

Why is Car Insurance More Expensive for Young Drivers?

December 18th, 2011 · No Comments · Guest Post

TweetNote: The following is a Guest Post. The new year is coming soon, and it doesn’t hurt to make sure your insurance is up to par. Having both the S2000 and STi to insure, I know it hurts… But it’s necessary. And you’ll always be glad it’s there if you need to use it. When [...]

Selling Cars: Do’s and Don’ts

December 15th, 2011 · No Comments · Guest Post

TweetNote: The following is a Guest Post. I found the theme went pretty well since, well, I’m selling two of my cars. And since it’s depressing, I’d rather not write on it myself. Enjoy! Selling your own car can often result in more money coming back to you than a trade with a dealer would [...]

Red WRX’s and STi’s

December 13th, 2011 · No Comments · Musings, My Cars, Photos, STi

TweetPerhaps the most amusing comment people make about our STi is how great she looks in red. It amuses me because I have always thought that STi’s look good in red…. They’re just so prolific in World Rally Blue that nobody pays much attention to red. (Funny enough, I’ve seen none of the new sedans [...]

My Expanding Love of Vintage?

December 8th, 2011 · 1 Comment · About Me, Cars I want..., inspiration, Random

TweetI have this new interest… And it’s kinda weird. I think, since it’s winter and nothing much is going to be happening here, that I’m going to figure out if it’s a passing thing or not. My weird new interest is….. Vintage cameras. Kinda random really. While I really love photography, I’m a happy digital [...]

Yours, Mine, Ours?

December 6th, 2011 · 2 Comments · About Me, My Cars

TweetI’ve somewhat come to peace with my decision to sell my Miata and 240sx. Well, about as “at peace” as I can possibly be until the day I actually have to say goodbye to them. Part of what makes it bearable, of course, is the fact that I’ll still have two fantastic cars to drive. [...]

It Never Hurts to Ask!

December 1st, 2011 · No Comments · Musings, Random

TweetI hear it all the time, and I’m sure you do too — the saying that it “never hurts to ask.” I always remember one other about asking too — “If you don’t ask, the answer is always no.” Usually I try to remember this with car people. Since I really enjoy taking photos of [...]
