First 2012 Autocross!

May 8th, 2012 · No Comments · Driving, My Cars, Racing, Video

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 [...]

Step Two, Complete

February 23rd, 2012 · 1 Comment · About Me, Cars I want..., My Cars, Porsche

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 [...]

Step One, Complete

February 16th, 2012 · No Comments · 240SX, Cars I want..., My Cars, Porsche

TweetWell, I meant to have the Auto Show photos posted today. Ooops. Obviously didn’t work out for me this time…… Heh. Instead of putting together my post, I was running around procuring a new battery for the Miata and installing a new battery in the 240sx and otherwise prepping both cars for sale. Still need [...]

It Snowed…!

January 19th, 2012 · No Comments · My Cars, Photos, Random, STi

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

STi Goodies

November 22nd, 2011 · 1 Comment · Modifications, My Cars, STi

TweetTowards the end of my husband’s deployment this year, he started to put together a list of things he wanted to get for the STi. We also bought a few of them and she’s already not quite stock anymore. Goodies! While it’s not a lot, she did get a new piece of exhaust piping (enough [...]

Some Updates, Finally….

November 4th, 2011 · No Comments · 240SX, My Cars, News, STi

TweetSo it’s been a while right? A pretty long while. So I figured it was about time that I share what’s going on here. Since I don’t want this to be horribly boring, here’s the quick run-down: My hubby got back from his deployment, only to be sent somewhere else for two weeks after he [...]
