Today I sold the Lotus Elise and bought a Porsche Cayman S. The Elise was a lot of fun.

In Which I Become a Car Nut
Today for a few hours the three sweetest words in the English language were “End Speed Zone.” I drove the Elise on the open road for the first time today. After an hour I was hot, sweaty, acutely aware that the car had not been designed for someone with Rubenesque hips, and had to pee. I didn’t want to stop; I was having too much fun.
Spring has Sprung
It was a beautiful day and being a holiday I went for a drive towards the coast. I didn’t make it as the road I picked still had some snow but it was a wonderful drive none the less. 5741
Pacific Raceways
After a couple of years of trying, I finally spent got a chance to drive a Pacific Raceways near Kent, WA. The track is very different from PIR with about 300’ of elevation change and a nice “drive through the woods” Here is a video of one of my early sessions. I’m still driving very conservatively and learning the track.
Trackday!
Today was the first trackday of the year. It was threatening rain for most of the day but luckily no rain appeared and in the afternoon the sun even came out. A good day to shake off the cobwebs and get back on the track. All of the sessions were uneventful for me as I slowly increased my speed. That is until the last session.
