  • repeat myself

    Did I mention rally is the best racing? It gets into gnarlsbad caverns around 8 minutes.

  • tires: check

    This is why you roll with TireRack.com Ordered late Saturday afternoon, sitting on my porch Tuesday when I get home. I had the pick of the litter compared to the local Tire King and I would bet $100 that I paid less for the same tire, with shipping, than if I had gone to said […]

  • the pale

    All other auto racing pales in comparison. Alex says this is the only possible exception and I agree. Isle of Man TT might be the craziest thing ever.

  • bling

    We haven’t had much sun lately so I leaped at the chance to finish up the wheels this afternoon. Also managed to do a 25k oil change too in between coats. Now I need to rustle me up some tires and we’ll be good to go!

  • winter wheels

    I don’t know if I mentioned this but the tires that came on my car are powerfully bad in the winter. Thank goodness we had a mild winter last year or I certainly would have wrapped myself around a(nother) tree, and that was on relatively brand new rubber. I’ve never before even considered winter tires, […]

  • wrc 2012

    WRC 2012 is about to begin this weekend. The teams have been testing in the Alpine hills near Monte Carlo and I was watching some videos this evening. Here’s some test footage from perennial champion, Sebastien Loeb. Each team seemed to have a stretch of road they hammered all day to iron out the kinks. […]

  • the very first time

    The snow flew yesterday morning and started accumulating after dark. In related news, I bought a car cover a month or two ago. So traumatized was I by the amount of pine sap and needles that were accumulating daily that I was on the verge of having the trees cut down. Seriously, I made calls. […]

  • magnetized

    I’m not really in the market for a chick magnet any more. Never really was. I don’t think my original Subaru did anything for the laydeez, and I’m fairly certain Amy is indifferent at best about the current one. But I’ve become aware of, and am currently experiencing, the new term, dick magnet. This car […]
