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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.
