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 [...]

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 [...]

Proof I Can Fix Things

June 28th, 2011 · No Comments · About Me, My Cars

TweetTo me, there’s something about being into cars that always entailed doing my own work. I, however, am a tiny person with tiny muscles and not very much weight to throw around. While I am quite knowledgeable on how to properly change a tire, there is little hope in the way of me doing so [...]

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 [...]
