As is usual, I got up on Saturday, got my 911 out of the garage and headed out to Cars & Coffee. Got to meet a couple of new faces, which was nice. Started off with this original Beetle, and a newly acquired 1986 Carrera. (She’s close to mine, though the biggest difference is her [...]

While I have more Porsche photos to share, I figured I’d add a few of some different cars… I don’t have a ton of photos from either event, so I figured I’d put them together. First up, a few photos from the last local drift event of the year. This Silvia had a white paint [...]

Shortly after the second local drift day was the third one, and with it free in my calendar otherwise, I once again went out for a bit to take some photos and practice my photography. I didn’t stay too long, as we wanted to get in some time relaxing at home too, as well as [...]

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 [...]

While it was a quiet Saturday for the most part, I didn’t entirely mind because Sunday was the first local drift event I’ve been able to go to. I believe it was last year that some of the guys got together and found a track willing to let them hold drifting events there; the days [...]

Well, I meant to have the Auto Show photos posted today. Ooops. Obviously didn’t work out for me this time…… Heh. Instead of putting together my post, I was running around procuring a new battery for the Miata and installing a new battery in the 240sx and otherwise prepping both cars for sale. Still need [...]

Well, I guess I’m a bit late, but this is in time to wish you a happy S15 Day! Every January 3rd, 4th and 5th are celebrated by Silvia owners and enthusiasts as S13, S14 and S15 Days. In Japan, there are meetings on each of the days for the respective generations. Yeah, I really [...]
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 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 [...]
