As 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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]

One thing that I know for sure about show cars is that they are scary clean. Like, super scary do-you-even-drive-it-anywhere clean. Because I want my 240SX to be a show car, she too will one day be meticulously clean. I hope. I also know that it will be a long, long, long road to get [...]

I hinted about this, as well as went out and blabbed about it on Twitter before I even ordered it. But here it is!! With my part of our tax return, I bought myself my SB-600 speedlight for my camera and this beauty — my very own Bride Zeta III seat. So happy!! The Install [...]

One of the things I need to get over is a bit of shameless self-promotion. So here it goes: Can you spare a second to go and vote for my 240SX in Password:JDM’s Money Shot photo contest on Facebook?? Pretty please?? All you have to do is click here and like my 240SX’s photo! That [...]
Okay, shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh — Let her think she isn’t that old. But when it’s all said and done, my 240SX is 21 this year! She also had a very sketchy maintenance history. We knew that when we bought her, and weren’t too worried since the SR20DET swap was always a plan for her. Why bother to [...]
Thanks to the winters up here, it takes much longer than it did in Arkansas for everything to start up again. (Even though in Arkansas a few autocross days could be brutally cold.) Patient waiting finally brought the 2011 Auto Boat Speed Show here and despite the cost (almost $30 for two of us!!) to [...]
