Revive All Muscle Memory by Adding More RAM

Posted on February 26, 2020March 11, 2020 by Modern Sports Cars of Arizona

This is something I’ve been wanting to post for a while, and now here we are. As I’ve written in some past posts, I’m no uber-mechanic, but I do have little projects I take on to get me into the habit of working with my hands to figure out certain technical challenges. The purpose: to…

Chevrolet v. Mazda

Posted on January 11, 2020March 11, 2020 by Modern Sports Cars of Arizona

It’s easy to drive the Mazda slow, and it requires some effort to drive briskly. Whereas it’s easy to drive the Chevy at murderous speeds, and requires significant effort to drive in a pedestrian manner.

Nine…month…later. Finally, the follow-up post about actually building the Home Depot Classic Car with my boys. Check out the original post, Home Depot Classic Car, for more context. It didn’t take the whole nine months to build the car of course, life just got in the way. The actual building was done over a couple…

(Not) Driving In Lagos – Part II

Posted on November 16, 2019November 16, 2019 by Modern Sports Cars of Arizona

While this post can be enjoyed independent from Part I, reading Part I will give you a bit more context. Car Guys Are Everywhere No matter where in the world I travel, I’m always pleasantly surprise to see the local car culture. Why not? Every place has its collection of sport car aficionados. If you…

(Not) Driving In Lagos – Part I

Posted on October 17, 2019October 27, 2019 by Modern Sports Cars of Arizona

I don’t often not drive, but when I do, I do not drive in Lagos, Nigeria. Stay sane my friends. How I Got Here I returned to my ancestral home for the first time in a long time. How long? Three passports long. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but a visit was long overdue….

Once Upon A Weekend In Mexico

Posted on September 19, 2019September 19, 2019 by Modern Sports Cars of Arizona

Last year, I drove my MINI Cooper S to Arizona’s closest beach, in Puerto Penasco (a.k.a. Rocky Point) in the state of Sonara, Mexico, which boarders Arizona, U.S.A. This year, I decide to go deeper into Mexico, and flew into Guadalajara (GDL) in the state of Jalisco. I hadn’t expected my car jones to get…

A Life-long Dream Realized – Porsche Boxster

Posted on August 4, 2019August 17, 2019 by Modern Sports Cars of Arizona

I finally pulled the trigger, as I mused in my December 2018 post. I had a torrid romp over a weekend with a lovely, 2006 Porsche Boxster S. It did not disappoint. How It Happened After a few months of research on Turo.com, I decided on the Porsche that really lit the spark for me…

MSCA Scouting Trip – Petersen Museum Vault

Posted on June 24, 2019August 3, 2019 by Modern Sports Cars of Arizona

Every once in a while, I will make an investigatory trip to a location that (usually) I haven’t been before. The purpose is to determine if the venue makes a great meet-up for the Modern Sports Cars of Arizona group. These scouting trips, as I’ve dubbed them, are especially important if the destination is more…

Tools Of The Trade

Posted on April 29, 2019April 29, 2019 by Modern Sports Cars of Arizona

A couple of months ago, that lovely WRX I drove back East, made its way Southwest. To show my gratitude, I volunteered my services to help swap the snow tires for the much-preferred performance tires. Despite the skill between the owner (a buddy of mine) and I, and the possession of a proper hydraulic jack,…

Mexican Beetle

Posted on April 13, 2019April 13, 2019 by Modern Sports Cars of Arizona

Recently at a MSCA meet-up, a member attended who I hadn’t seen in some time. When I last spoke with him a couple of years ago, he was looking to buy an original Volkswagen Beetle in Mexico, and restore it. Fast forward to last month when he showed up with a forest green, 1993 VW…
