Local Drifting

May 15th, 2012 · No Comments · Drifting, Photos

TweetWhile 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 [...]

Step One, Complete

February 16th, 2012 · No Comments · 240SX, Cars I want..., My Cars, Porsche

TweetWell, 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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

May 31st, 2011 · No Comments · Drag, Photos, Racing

TweetAs long as my work schedule permits, you can find me out at the drag strip on Friday nights. The 13th was a little special to me since it was the last Friday I got to spend with my husband before he left for four months. I’ll be doing all of these posts in the [...]

To Drift or Not To Drift?

May 26th, 2011 · No Comments · Drifting, Musings

TweetFor 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 [...]

My Return to Racing!

May 17th, 2011 · No Comments · Car Event, Driving, Photos, Racing

TweetOne 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 [...]
