I’m Gonna Drive a Ferrari!!

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

TweetAnd I’m not joking, either. In March, my husband and I are taking off for nearly two weeks of blissful vacation to Disney World in Orlando. Since we skipped a honeymoon and it’s our fifth anniversary this year, we figured it was about time for a nice big trip like this. In a way, this [...]

Nürburgring Infographic

January 24th, 2012 · No Comments · Random

TweetI’m usually not privy to cool press releases and infographics emails, so when I got this I was rather surprised. 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 [...]

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 [...]

2012 Project 52

January 3rd, 2012 · No Comments · News, Photos

TweetThe year after I got my Nikon D3000 for Christmas, I attempted my first Project 365. That was in 2010, and I made it to about October before I ended up quitting. It’s kinda sad now that I really think about it, because I was much closer to the end…. But I quit because I [...]

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 [...]

More Porsche Love

December 22nd, 2011 · No Comments · Photos, Porsche

TweetYup, this past Saturday it was that time again…. Time to go and say hi to the Porsches at the dealership. With it being winter, most of them aren’t out. Even without the snow, it has been cold and icy and I don’t blame anyone for hiding their Porsches in the garage at this point. [...]

Odds & Ends #1

December 20th, 2011 · No Comments · Odds & Ends, Photos, Random

TweetEdit: Well, I tried to get these photos into the post with the captions I had added… Clearly, I’m still trying to figure out how to get posts to go up and look normal with the iPad. Sorry, I’ll keep trying to get it right! For now, there are captions up, even if the pictures [...]

Why is Car Insurance More Expensive for Young Drivers?

December 18th, 2011 · No Comments · Guest Post

TweetNote: The following is a Guest Post. The new year is coming soon, and it doesn’t hurt to make sure your insurance is up to par. Having both the S2000 and STi to insure, I know it hurts… But it’s necessary. And you’ll always be glad it’s there if you need to use it. When [...]

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 [...]
