Tracking My Car For The First Time
I tracked my car for the first time at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, as part of the Track Night In America, program on May 24th. It was awesome and you should totally do it. »
And Then Our St. Lucia Trip Came To An End
After 7 days in St. Lucia, we were ready to head back to Boston. On the last day on the island, we largely tried to take it easy. That, and take advantage of the last of the all-inclusive benefits. »
Pigeon Island, Where We Climbed A Steep Hill
Not wanting to spend more money, we decided to climb the big hills right next door to the resort, that we learned were on Pigeon Island. »
We Went On A Speedboat Tour
I want to talk about the stuff we did off resort. We didn’t do much because we spent so much on the all-inclusive package, but we did some! »
All Inclusive Resorts Are Alright

We Went To St. Lucia
Three days after our wedding, we set off for the island of St. Lucia, a place I’d only learned existed on the day we actually booked our honeymoon. »
Motegi MR116s, Pirelli P Zeros, and a Harbor Freight Drill Bit

Katie and I wrapped up the second weekend in a row where we attended a wedding. The wedding was fantastic! Luckily, last weekend we were in Somerville for the wedding, and this weekend we were in Boston at The Liberty Hotel.

Ford Is Murdering My Car
Yesterday, Ford announced that they're killing all of their small cars in North America, to consolidate their lineup around trucks, SUVs, and crossovers. What do I mean by small cars?

But, they won't be selling any Focus STs in North America in the near future. This sucks. For this beautiful 5 year »
