Spinning Wheels

This was before all the fun started. I like the array of cars and sportbike in the background. I felt like I was definitely in for loads of fun.

I’ll be posting more videos at CarCrazyCentral, but for now, notice my big grin…? I was sitting in the backseat while my Buddy Jim Wilkey from Wagon Train Productions drifted the car every which way and then some.

What a New Year!

We’re into the new year by only a couple weeks and I’m already smokin’ busy. I’ve been editing video like it’s going out of style. Wineass.com is still my primary editing gig. I’m lovin’ it.

I don’t have much more to report just yet.

I think I might have a broken crankshaft in my Mustang Fastback. I’ll be tearing her open shortly to see if that really is the case. I both hope it is and hope it isn’t. I hope it is because that’s what it sounds like and I hope that opening it up will show me that’s all that’s wrong. I hope it isn’t because…well…who wants a busted crankshaft in their engine?

I’ll be snapping pics of the whole ordeal, of course.

Just found this pic from 1998

While sifting through a file of non-car pics, I found one that is totally car-related. One of my favorites from this time period.

I like to think of it as a true portrait of the real me. It says just about everything anyone needs to know about me. (Well, except that I don’t normally wear pink. I just happened to be wearing pink on the day this pic was taken. Just imagine the shirt is blue or something.)

This also demonstrates what I mentioned a few posts earlier… Hand a guy a camera and ask him to get a few shots of me working on my car and there’s always a butt shot in there. And this was taken before I got a digital camera, so you can imagine my surprise when I got the pics back from the developer! Ah well.

Like I said, it’s all me. I’ll work on my car any time, anywhere, while wearing anything.

Hell, when my car caught on fire the first time, I was wearing a skirt. Yeah, on the side of the road, there I was using my fire extinguisher while trying to keep my skirt from flying up and giving even more of a show than my car.

Got the fire out.

Told all the tow truck drivers to get lost. They tried to take advantage of me, thinking that I’m just a dumb girl and I don’t know anything about cars. HA! Once the flames were doused, I was back on the road in ten minutes. No tow required.
