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 [...]

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 [...]

3rd Time’s the Charm

July 7th, 2011 · No Comments · Car Event, Driving, My Cars, Racing, Video

TweetMy second autocross wasn’t exactly the best day out for me, I had a hard time trying to be fast and just didn’t make it happen. June, however, was great to me! I somehow became competitive and was running times up there with people, not at the back of the pack the entire time… I [...]

Vintage Racing Weekend, Day 2

June 23rd, 2011 · 3 Comments · Car Event, Photos, Porsche

TweetThe second day of the weekend I didn’t focus on taking as many photos. Instead I decided to spend some time sitting and actually watching the racing. I can’t always live through my camera’s lens! Besides, I didn’t feel like trying to find a vantage point where my 200mm lens would have been of any [...]

My 2nd Autocross of 2011

June 14th, 2011 · 2 Comments · Car Event, Driving, My Cars, Racing, Video

TweetThere are good race days, and then there are bad race days. Sadly, this particular day fell into the latter category for me… It just wasn’t my day. Regardless of having a very slow day, it was a ton of fun! It was great to get out and autocross at Spokane County Raceway. Definitely different [...]

Street Legal Drags — 5/20

June 2nd, 2011 · No Comments · Drag, Photos, Racing

TweetThis was my first time out to the Friday night drag races by myself. It was a bit lonely, but it also let me focus a bit more on my photography. With the track getting busier, the benefits of having a nice dSLR are starting to come into play. On this particular night, I was [...]

Street Legal Drags — 5/13

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 [...]

Introducing CarsxGirl Video

May 24th, 2011 · No Comments · Driving, Karting, My Cars, Racing, Video

TweetYup! I have finally entered the world of video… I got myself a GoPro camera for an early birthday present. My own GoPro wasn’t my first experience with the camera, though. Some friends of ours got two of them over the winter to use autocrossing, and they let us record some of our own autocross [...]
