Short version, three years ago, I picked up a extremely clean, one owner, dealer serviced Porsche Cayenne TT from a buddy of mine who took it on trade in Atlanta. It only had 65K, and just had every belt, hose, clamp, or fitting replaced for its final service. Drove the car for two years, sat...

Just finished the next round of mods on our skis. My girl was at the beach, so my good friend Josh was putting in some seat time on her ski to get it ready for her when she gets back into town. Her ski is a Rxpx260, Stage 2 w/ updated impeller for better launch. My ski is a Rxpx300 Stage 3 w/...

I setup a GoPro on my porch with time lapse, and caught this. Super cool how it comes in and then fades, and then comes back super dark and bright ... enjoy ...

In an effort to maintain social distance, we put the skis in for some light action ... all I can say is wow .. she has really gotten good over the last few years of ridding ... she really can take advantage of her jetski's power now. And considering the chop out there ... she is fearless...

Last run of the season ... camera makes it look darker than it was, but we definitely didn't have time for a scenic ride ... thank goodness we only a short bit up the channel .. oh and the boat at the end was a bass boat with rope lights ... not a cop :) ... the girl riding the yellow ski slowed...

I am just getting around to rendering this one, we rode up to the dam, and then decided to race back ... long pulls at 70+, which shocks me with the heat soak these skis must have. Then of course, the random guy who speeds up when they see you coming ... my girl crushed him (3:18) ... lol ...

Picked up a new GoPro Fusion, they were on sale for half price. So far, really impressed, but be ready for some crazy processing times if you do 5.2k. Race is two RXPX SeaDoos, both with mods from Riva ... still hit 70+ despite being heat-soaked from a long day of riding ... Scroll around...

Short back story ... bought my girl a SeaDoo Spark with 90hp. Fast forward, found a used RXP-X 260 this winter, picked it up, and just added a stage 1 mod to her ski... As you can see from the vid, she has really learned to ride it. The first shot was her first pull on the ski, before the...

Back Story .... This year for Christmas, I bought my girl the same Rxp-x jet ski I have ... so we could make better time on the lake heading to get food (bars) or to hang with friends ... you all know what happens when you and your girl, who are both competitive, get the same toy. GoPro Vid...

Fair warning, the vid starts slow, and I am not a great videographer, but there are some fun shots from the weekend. Also, I am NOT a great done pilot either, especially when birds were dive bombing while I was trying to film. Most of the shots were of my girl, we did some light mods to her...

Ever since my daughter was young, she has wanted a stick shift car when she turned 16, specifically, the same model Evo I brought her home from the hospital in years ago. She has been going with me to track days watching me instruct for years, so I taught her to drive my current Evo on the...

This was last summer on the lake, tried to post it before, but youtube blocked, so I reposted to Vimeo. Cheesy music, but thought it made the video more intense. Basically, a Yamaha FZR supercharged and an RXT were running through, and kicked it for a top-end run ... I decided to ensure they...

Well, after a while, I have finally purchased another SVT, a 2012 Raptor. I drove by the dealership tonight, and just had to have it. So far, I am shocked at how well it drives, and how smooth it is. The gas mileage is about the same as my F350, but I certainly enjoy driving this one a bit...

Well, today my girl drove her first track with the new Evo ... Setup was GTX 3076R, 2.3RR, and LOTS of suspension / chassis mods. Car was wicked fast, but what was most important was she had a great time, and wants to do more ... but what impressed me most was she actually wanted to learn how...

Just few pics of my Evo, now that the build is finshed on the motor side. New Ohlins are going on soon, and I am updating the brakes to 6 pot, but the first part is finally done. Car has the following: Mods are 2.3 br rpm short block, ETS Gtx3076r vband turbo kit with piping, AMS fmic...

So, here is the latest on my track toy build. If you remember, I started this thread right around the holidays, which showed all the upgrades, and new pieces going into my new track toy build...

***Scroll to the bottom for latest updates.... After two seasons of enjoying the Evo, i have decided to get more serious about the setup. Right now, the car is 380whp, and weights around 2900lbs, and has allt he right goodies to stop and turn. The car was a SCCA car for two years, but I...

Well, I have finally broke down and got another track toy. I love the Evo, but wanted something with a bit more power, and something that would have a bit more potential. Here are some shots of the old and the new. Here is a vid of the car at the first track day, on the run...

Here in NC, we are getting pounded, and actually had 4+ inches of good snow everywhere, even on the roads. So, I drug out the toy car for some fun and excitement. It's amazing how well these little cars do, I was driving by trucks and other fwd cars stuck in the ditches, and here I am on 285...

For Christmas this year, I got my son his first track day as one of his presents. So, we prepped his M3, and got ready to go, and then I jacked up his brakes right before we were supposed to leave. So, to stay true to my word, I let him take the Evo ... pics below ... My Son .. Evo ...

I'll just drop this here ... (you're welcome) I searched and didn't see it ... so hope it's not a repost ... http://vimeo.com/80118132

Now it's clean, next some track prep, and then off to Roebling or Road Atlanta.

So, earlier this year, the wife approved the purchase of another toy car, when I got my CTS-V. Well, I managed to find a Evo RS prepped exactly how I wanted, with all the mods to be a fun track toy, and she surprised me today, by helping me get it. I will have to eventually have to decide what...

So after much debate, and missing of a standard transmission, I decided to go look at a few used cars today. I went with the intent of picking up something manual I could take to track days, and could bump around with at night for fun. I love the caddy, but really miss having a manual...

Okay, so here is my random question .... granted I know I have nothing fancy, just a CTS-V (unlike some of you exotic guys), but do you ever get tired of folks snapping pics of your car? I had two people today, and usually have one or two no matter where or what I'm doing. Especially since I...
