On a Different Scale…

March 29th, 2012 · No Comments · About Me, Porsche, Random

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 [...]

As of March 14th, I left the chilly Inland Northwest and headed down to Orlando, Florida, to spend just shy of two weeks having fun in the sun. Part of this trip involves attending the 12 Hours of Sebring live! I’m excited beyond words. It’s totally [...]

The Idea of Project Cars…

February 2nd, 2012 · No Comments · Musings, Random

TweetWhat is it that makes the idea of having a new project car so appealing? Am I the only one who’s always thinking about the next project instead of focusing on what I’ve got in front of me? ^Current Project: New suspension and tires for the S2000…. Need $$$ :/ I’m probably having way too [...]

January 24th, 2012 · No Comments · Random

Carbuzz put together this great infographic on the Nürburgring and sent it my way, I knew I’d have to share it. I love anything and everything ‘Ring related and I can’t wait until I can [...]

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 [...]

Searching for the Dream Career

January 12th, 2012 · 2 Comments · About Me, Random

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
