Solo


Finally spring? Can hardly tell in this image, but it did crack 20 degrees yesterday. The snow is disappearing. And while I missed a preliminary solo event last weekend, the car is ready to go. Itching for some reasonable way to modify the car within solo rules, I have jumped on board the new Solo Spec Coupe class. That means equipping […]

2018 Version


Gran Turismo Sport came out last month, and while I haven’t seriously played a video game in nearly five years, it looked far too good to pass up.

Sarcasm? The truth is that the last two years of car life has been blissful… except for the absence of raining […]
