First 2012 Autocross!

TweetApril 22nd was an exciting day for me — It was my first autocross of the 2012 season! Not only was it my first race of the season, it was my first autocross ever driving the S2000. To say I was nervous would be an understatement. Unfortunately, we didn’t manage to get the KW Variant [...]

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 [...]

TweetI already know I want a Porsche 911 — I’ve wanted one for quite some time now, especially after I realized just how affordable they can be. I’m very eager to continue saving up for my own 911, I’m about 25% of the way there! The day I really start searching for mine is going [...]

Cars in the Snow

March 1st, 2012 · No Comments · Driving, Video

TweetThis past Saturday, instead of going out to Cars & Coffee I got to sleep in courtesy of a nice snow storm. While we didn’t get much, it still seemed to cause a fair amount of chaos… Including some downed trees when we tried to go boarding. (Lame! :/) There were enough accidents that the [...]

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 [...]

3rd Time’s the Charm

July 7th, 2011 · No Comments · Car Event, Driving, My Cars, Racing, Video

TweetMy second autocross wasn’t exactly the best day out for me, I had a hard time trying to be fast and just didn’t make it happen. June, however, was great to me! I somehow became competitive and was running times up there with people, not at the back of the pack the entire time… I [...]

My 2nd Autocross of 2011

June 14th, 2011 · 2 Comments · Car Event, Driving, My Cars, Racing, Video

TweetThere are good race days, and then there are bad race days. Sadly, this particular day fell into the latter category for me… It just wasn’t my day. Regardless of having a very slow day, it was a ton of fun! It was great to get out and autocross at Spokane County Raceway. Definitely different [...]

May 24th, 2011 · No Comments · Driving, Karting, My Cars, Racing, Video

TweetYup! I have finally entered the world of video… I got myself a GoPro camera for an early birthday present. My own GoPro wasn’t my first experience with the camera, though. Some friends of ours got two of them over the winter to use autocrossing, and they let us record some of our own autocross [...]

My Return to Racing!

May 17th, 2011 · No Comments · Car Event, Driving, Photos, Racing

TweetOne thing I missed terribly was racing. While I’ve never been fantastic at it, I also know I have potential… And I want to develop this potential. It’s important enough to me to work on it. Plus autocrossing isn’t terribly expensive, so I can easily afford to do it. (Especially with my job.) As long [...]
