I know the first of December isn’t until Saturday, but I’m super excited for it. It is finally the tail end of being alone, as well as the tail end of 2012, a crazy year. Taryn over at iheartstance has a really great post up that I think everyone needs to read. For me, it [...]

Step two of the Porsche plan? Sell the other car, whichever sold second. In this case, it was selling the Miata. Parting wasn’t easy, to be honest. I did have a few tears over it… Leaving her in the parking lot and saying a brief goodbye were hard. It’s not easy to part ways, especially [...]

Along with reflecting on the past year, I’m somewhat big on planning for the next one. It’s kinda funny in a way, because I never know exactly what could happen. While it would be weird for us to be moved again so soon, it can happen. So I do take my plans with a grain [...]

No, 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 [...]

My 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 [...]

There 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. Regardless of having a very slow day, it was a ton of fun! It was great to get out and autocross at Spokane County Raceway. Definitely different [...]

For me, cars have never been about making one look pretty and letting her just sit around. I much preferred having a scratched paint job that I didn’t have to feel guilty about scratching myself. Drifting While I am head over heels in love with road course driving and racing, I have a huge soft [...]
Yup! I have finally entered the world of video… I got myself a GoPro camera for an early birthday present. My own GoPro wasn’t my first experience with the camera, though. Some friends of ours got two of them over the winter to use autocrossing, and they let us record some of our own autocross [...]

One thing I missed terribly was racing. While I’ve never been fantastic at it, I also know I have potential… And I want to develop this potential. It’s important enough to me to work on it. Plus autocrossing isn’t terribly expensive, so I can easily afford to do it. (Especially with my job.) As long [...]
