Spring Social — Porsches & Pretty Boats

June 18th, 2012 · No Comments · Car Event, Driving, inspiration, Porsche

Every once in a while I get to go to a fabulous event and feel like a swanky socialite. Like most girls, I love a good excuse to don a cute dress & heels and have a good time! This year, it seems like it’s happening somewhat regularly, almost. In February, there was the launch [...]

Friday Track Day

May 29th, 2012 · No Comments · inspiration, Photos, Porsche, Racing

It shouldn’t be a secret that I love road course driving and racing. One of the best things about where we live (other than the total lack of fear over having our cars stolen) is that there’s a lovely 2.5 mile road course about five minutes from us. Sadly, even though I’ve lived so close [...]

Looking Forward to the Next Step

April 19th, 2012 · No Comments · Guest Post

Eventually, our pretty 2011 STi will be someone else’s new to them used Subaru. No, it won’t happen for a year or two yet…. But someday, it will. I mean, we did JUST get a set of hella lights for our STi, so she’s not going anywhere anytime soon, nor is she being completely ignored. [...]

When Buying Used, Learn All You Can

April 12th, 2012 · No Comments · Guest Post

While I’m still a ways off from buying my own Porsche 911, it’s a topic that I think about on a daily basis. The thought of getting my own 911 consumes my thoughts almost all day — everything that I do I do in the hopes of buying her sooner rather than later. In the [...]

Driving the 458 Italia

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

I 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 [...]

Other Cars at Sebring

April 5th, 2012 · No Comments · Car Event, Photos, Porsche, Racing, Travel

While I’ll talk more about my overall race experience at Sebring in this post, the photos I’m sharing today are of the various other cars I saw at Sebring other than the race cars and, what race cars I do share, were there on display and not running. (Well, some were racing, just not during [...]

Sebring, the Race Cars!

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

I’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 [...]

On a Different Scale…

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

This 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 [...]

First Impression: Porsche 991 911

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

I 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 [...]
