Welcome to my personal site devoted strictly to things automotive. I created this site to communicate with other car freaks like me, and my family web site wasn't the place to do it. (I know. I've already tried. Now they think I'm crazy.)
If you've come to this site because of a post of mine, the links in the left column should get you where you want to go.
I drive a 2002 SVT Focus. I haven't done many modifications to it. Here's the list:
I've driven the SVTF on three track days so far: Road Atlanta (the picture in the Dave's Daily Driver logo to the left came from that session; I'm passing the grandstands at wide open throttle headed for turn number 1) BeaveRun in western PA, and Pocono Raceway's north circuit. This car really handles itself well on the track, although it is a little underpowered to be competitive.
I've also participated in one Autocross. I didn't fare very well, but I had a great time sucking! I was a little concerned about the beating my daily tires were taking. Maybe I'll own a set of dedicated rubber one day (and so it begins...). That's me to the left trying to visualize the proper line. Click on the Raceway Park link to the left for more pics.
I hope you enjoy the site. Please feel free to give me feedback by visiting the Contact Me page so I can make visiting worthwhile. I've got pretty thick skin, so if you think the site sucks, tell me about it.
