Inspired by an inside joke that Neil, Gabrielle, and I had regarding antelopes and gazelles...

My brother matched!

My brother got matched to a cardiology fellowship at the University of Missouri! I'm so excited for him. Although I'll miss him since he'll be further away than he has ever been before! Congratulations!!! Also congrats to his girlfriend, Sarah who matched to the University of Virginia also for a cardiology fellowship! Time for a celebration!!

Rally Drivers and Fast Cars

I've always said that Rally Drivers are some of the best drivers in the world (Colin McRae RIP). But there is no doubt that F1 cars are the fastest! Another excellent clip from TopGear.

Cool STi Commercial

My next mod...

Installed TWM Abrams M1 RL Shift Knob

Installed my birthday gift from my brother and his girlfriend! A beautiful shift knob from TWM Performance!

Stocker:Side-by-side comparison:The TWM knob sits a little lower than the stock. Feels great in the hand and because it's weighted, shifting is noticeably different. I love how the satin finish matches the STi interior.

Josephine Chan, BA, PhD, CCRP, and MBA!!!

CONGRATULATION to my awesome wife who just finished her MBA degree at the Weatherhead School of Management! I can't believe you finished two degrees before I finished one!!

Happy Birthday to ME!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes!

STi Intercooler...

Pictures from my latest mod. STi on the TMIC.

Making sure everything was covered up to avoid overspill. This was after I took off the paper that I basically wrapped the entire engine bay with.
This is how it turned out. The paint lines are sharp, no fuzzies! It's good to take your time when making the outline and make sure you use high quality painter's tape.
You can actually see the logo through the scoop. Very subtle if you just walk by you might even miss it!

My STi

Had some fun with Lambo over the weekend. Went to an empty parking lot and took some pics of our cars. Had a lot of fun! This was of course after a clay bar treatment (had some rough areas in the paint) and two coats of wax! I also put on some Rally Armor mud flaps to try to keep the car clean. There were some complaints that the AWD was kicking up too much dirt and damaging the paint! I'll post the other pics in a web slideshow soon. The above was my favorite photo!

This is driving...
