TweetI really didn’t want it to happen, but it did anyway (not that I REALLY thought I could get away with it not happening) — I fell in love with the Ferrari 458 Italia. Hopelessly in love. It is such an amazing car that you can’t help it. The entire time we spent at the [...]

TweetThis year I’ve started to build my very first model car. She isn’t the first kit I’ve ever bought, but she is the first being put together…. And, not surprising, she’s a Porsche. A slant nose turbo at that. One of my favorites, a 935. (Street version, not the famous Martini track version.) I’ve been [...]

TweetStep two of the Porsche plan? Sell the other car, whichever sold second. In this case, it was selling the Miata. Parting wasn’t easy, to be honest. I did have a few tears over it… Leaving her in the parking lot and saying a brief goodbye were hard. It’s not easy to part ways, especially [...]

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 [...]
TweetAnd I’m not joking, either. In March, my husband and I are taking off for nearly two weeks of blissful vacation to Disney World in Orlando. Since we skipped a honeymoon and it’s our fifth anniversary this year, we figured it was about time for a nice big trip like this. In a way, this [...]

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….. No surprise there. Cars are an expensive hobby to have period. But can’t I do some sort of [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]
TweetI’m afraid I don’t have too much car-related, and that I won’t for a few months. Winter weather has made its appearance and the cold makes me not want to do much of anything. (Other than go and finally buy a snowboard and hit the mountain.) This Saturday I’ll be heading out to the Porsche [...]
