I’ve never purchased new, but I did procure my Fiat from the next state over. My car shopping technique is a little different from usual though since my family is in the business. It wasn’t too difficult to find a car optioned how I wanted then just have it thrown onto a transport.

Big reason why I don’t get one. I love Porsches and they’re in my blood, but I’d rather have something less common.

If you have money and want to keep having money, you stay out of places like this. I’m not Aston/Bentley loaded, but I could waltz into the local Porsche dealership and say “I would like a 911 Turbo, sir.” and the correct answer would be “Yes ma’am, please follow me.” But I don’t do that because I don’t feel like…

Hell, I do that with my lil Fiat. My sticker rule allows three situations, officially required to race, significant financial transaction (sponsorship or major work done on the car,) and charity.

It’s pretty normal really. Mine is getting spark plugs and brake fluid in the next couple weeks, just regular car stuff. No fairydust or anything necessary

A Fiat is just like any other car. With regular maintenance it will go the distance.

Hmm, I had lunch with two men on saturday and 3 men on sunday. None of them were my husband. Either I am a complete harlot who is into gang bangs OR I was having lunch with friends in between morning and afternoon sessions of racing.

Oh yeah? Watch me. Give me like 15 years and I’ll show you a 200k mile Fiat. Mind you, probably like three engines deep...

This is where I say “hold my beer” and start working on becoming the worlds first 200k mile Fiat. Gonna take me like 15 years, but pending I don’t put it into a tree or something, I’ll do it.

A friend of mine from high school gets to perform in the opening show for the Bahrain GP. To say I’m jealous is an understatement

Getcha some!

It’s suuuper fun, but bear in mind, it’s not an autocross or a day at some track with miles of runoff space. If you mess up, it can have extremely real consequences. Be safe about it.

Yep, just use my Fiat. Basically my local follows SCCA rules, but isn’t part of the official SCCA. So I’m still classed as STX and all the same tech rules apply, but with a few added on top. For instance every car has to carry a fire extinguisher within reach of the driver and you have to wear minimum 100% cotton long…

Well, the way I did it was starting out in autocross then branching out. There’s two hill climbs here every year and a lot of the core crew from that does them, so I just jumped in from there. I’m in the area for the Northwest Hillclimb Association which has events in northern CA, OR, WA, and ID. It also helps to live…

Population-wise, the vast majority of Colorado DOES have alternatives to driving their own car. Mountains don’t drive, nor do ears of corn, people do, and most people in Colorado live along the front range or in the major mountain communities.

Last summer, while sitting at the bottom of a hill climb course throwing one last text to the bestie should anything happen and feeling rather aware of my fragility, I got a text back reminding me “nervousness and excitement are the same feeling, you get to pick how you see it.” He was right, of course. So I choose to…

I don’t know who’s cuter, human or pup. Can I cuddle them both? Oh what, I’m married? Can I just get a platonic cuddle puddle then?

You’re looking at the wrong company. You want a mediocre EV, go to Mitsubishi. Oh wait, that’s not mediocre, the iMiev is an unrepentantly heinous pile of shit. GM has a mediocre EV in the Volt, I was thoroughly bored and felt like I was driving a bucket of mixed plaster. Then he as motor kicks in ad ou’re just…

Oh, I bet you’re totally opposed to it, but still jerk off to lesbian porn “cause that’s hot.”

I happen to be one of those weird human creatures with the squishy lumps on the chest and bizarre internal genitalia. I also gestated a tiny human for 9 months, so it’s fair to say the “mothering DNA” has been activated in me. When I’m on course, I magically stop being a mother. At least in my head, I do. You see,…
