Cars & Coffee, Week 1

February 28th, 2012 · 2 Comments · Cars & Coffee, Photos, Porsche

TweetI’m pretty sure everyone has heard of Cars & Coffee by now, right? Well, there’s an effort to bring these nationwide events to little Spokane now! (Though I still really want to go to Seattle’s Cars & Coffee when the Ferrari dealership sponsors it!) There’s a joint effort going on, and the Porsche dealership has [...]

Step Two, Complete

February 23rd, 2012 · 1 Comment · About Me, Cars I want..., My Cars, Porsche

TweetStep 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 [...]

February 21st, 2012 · No Comments · Car Event, Photos, Porsche

TweetLast year was the first year we got to go to Spokane’s version of an Auto Show. It’s not really that much of an International Auto Show, and we miss some of the cars I’d really love to see, like the Ferraris and Maseratis and such. But it is a car event to break up [...]

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 [...]

My Second Chance Photo

February 14th, 2012 · 1 Comment · inspiration, Photos, Porsche

TweetI’m really happy that I get to share this photo. It means more to me than I can express in a way, but I figured I would try. A few weeks ago, we went up to Mt. Spokane to get some skiing and boarding time in. We had just switched to going on Saturday nights [...]

February 7th, 2012 · No Comments · Car Event, Photos, Porsche

TweetEvery once in a while I get to feel like I get to go and do cool things…. This is definitely one of those cool things. We found out about it just early enough to RSVP and get to attend! Was a lucky day I suppose. Meeting the 991 I was pretty excited — Ever [...]

I’m Gonna Drive a Ferrari!!

January 26th, 2012 · No Comments · About Me, Driving, Travel

TweetAnd I’m not joking, either. In March, my husband and I are taking off for nearly two weeks of blissful vacation to Disney World in Orlando. Since we skipped a honeymoon and it’s our fifth anniversary this year, we figured it was about time for a nice big trip like this. In a way, this [...]

TweetDespite my doubts about my job situation and my desire to finally get onto a career path, I still want to make my best effort to save up for the Porsche 911 of my dreams. (Well, one of them anyhow…!) Part of this has been doing research on the various years and learning what to [...]

Searching for the Dream Career

January 12th, 2012 · 2 Comments · About Me, Random

TweetI almost hate to phrase it this way, because it seems almost too prevalent…. “Find your passion!” “Follow your passion!” “If you live your passion, the money will follow!” Well, clearly the money comes first in racing….. No surprise there. Cars are an expensive hobby to have period. But can’t I do some sort of [...]

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 [...]
