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 [...]

Driving the 458 Italia

April 10th, 2012 · No Comments · About Me, Cars I want..., Driving, Photos, Racing, Travel, Video

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 [...]

Sebring, the Race Cars!

April 3rd, 2012 · No Comments · Car Event, Photos, Porsche, Racing, Travel

TweetI’ll be splitting Sebring coverage into two parts based on the small amount of photos I have to share. This first part will cover the actual race cars, while the part later on this week will cover the other random cars & old race cars that were there. That splits my SLR photos nicely, and [...]

March 6th, 2012 · No Comments · Cars I want..., Driving, inspiration, Photos, Porsche

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 [...]

My Second Chance Photo

February 14th, 2012 · 1 Comment · inspiration, Photos, Porsche

TweetI’m really happy that I get to share this photo. It means more to me than I can express in a way, but I figured I would try. A few weeks ago, we went up to Mt. Spokane to get some skiing and boarding time in. We had just switched to going on Saturday nights [...]

I’m Gonna Drive a Ferrari!!

January 26th, 2012 · No Comments · About Me, Driving, Travel

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 [...]

2011 CanAm Drive Part II

July 14th, 2011 · No Comments · Car Event, inspiration, Photos, Porsche, Travel

TweetAre you ready to hear about the second day of the CanAm drive? I hope so, because it’s pretty cool. Day two was entirely spent driving around British Columbia and mostly sightseeing. But for me, it was all about one thing… My ride in a 996 Turbo. Yup… A 996 Turbo. A real 911 Turbo. [...]
