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 [...]

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 [...]

Hopes for 2012

December 29th, 2011 · 1 Comment · About Me, Cars I want..., Year Review

TweetAlong 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 [...]

Yours, Mine, Ours?

December 6th, 2011 · 2 Comments · About Me, My Cars

TweetI’ve somewhat come to peace with my decision to sell my Miata and 240sx. Well, about as “at peace” as I can possibly be until the day I actually have to say goodbye to them. Part of what makes it bearable, of course, is the fact that I’ll still have two fantastic cars to drive. [...]

Proof I Can Fix Things

June 28th, 2011 · No Comments · About Me, My Cars

TweetTo me, there’s something about being into cars that always entailed doing my own work. I, however, am a tiny person with tiny muscles and not very much weight to throw around. While I am quite knowledgeable on how to properly change a tire, there is little hope in the way of me doing so [...]

Parts Stockpiling

June 9th, 2011 · No Comments · 240SX, Modifications

TweetMy husband’s current deployment is a bit odd to me. In many ways, it’s similar to the first one I went through. In others, though, it’s completely different. For one, I didn’t really develop my love for cars until *after* he came back from the first one. I actually did my first modification to the [...]

Sometimes Work Needs to be Outsourced

December 11th, 2009 · No Comments · Modifications

Sometimes it just makes sense to let someone else do the work on your car when it needs to be done.
