We came, we saw, we had a great time! For those of you who may be new to the scene, I decided to host a “pink” watch party for the Indy 500 to support driver Pippa Mann, who was sponsored by Susan G. Komen and drove a pink car in the race. Read more background […]

A Condo for You…and Your Car
posted by Motorista
I have never been to Florida, and never had any real desire to go. But now I’m moving to Miami. Why, you ask? THIS. A luxury beach condo tower, with an elevator that takes you AND YOUR CAR right up to your condo, and leaves you AND YOUR CAR in your condo. DESIGNED BY PORSCHE. […]
The Racing Weekend That Wasn’t…and a Photo Shoot
posted by Motorista
So the weekend turned out to be a bit of a bust on the racing front, despite its potential.

I drove (manual transmission, mind you) with 5-inch toothpicks lodged into the bottom of my heels. No, I did not injure myself or others. At least, not while driving. (I did […]

By evening and weekend, I am a car enthusiast, wanna-be racer, and motorsports attendee. I live in the Austin, Texas area amidst a recurring cast of characters (some human, some furry), […]
