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 [...]

Into the Unknown, Again….

January 31st, 2012 · No Comments · About Me

TweetThere are plenty of times that I wonder if my life will ever get easier…. Mostly because it seems to always be up in the air. This time, it’s kind of my fault. Because I quit my job. I turned in a one week resignation notice on Sunday. By the end of the week I’ll [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

TweetDespite my doubts about my job situation and my desire to finally get onto a career path, I still want to make my best effort to save up for the Porsche 911 of my dreams. (Well, one of them anyhow…!) Part of this has been doing research on the various years and learning what to [...]

Searching for the Dream Career

January 12th, 2012 · 1 Comment · 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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
