I want to do a full year in review post, but I'm on mobile. I do have time to kill so I may try later. For now I ask: what was your best car related moment of 2014?

Kinja'd!!!

Mine was driving a ZR1. What's yours?

Just one?

Taking a bunch of my gearhead friends to our local track for the(ir) first time.

Going to the USGP at COTA for a second time, with Mrs. addiction this go-around.

Spring trip with the buds to NE Arkansas for a weekend of driving the twisties (will be back soon).

The first drive after adding 40 hp to my car with a primary cat delete and tune, with the satisfaction that I'd done the work myself.

Again I can only narrow it down to two. Either racing Oregon Trail Rally in a classic 911 or getting into the top 10 overall at Susquehannock Trail

My best car related moment was my first autocross followed by six more autocrosses. To say I have been fully sucked in would be an understatement! I can't wait for next year.

Learning that much fun and joy can be had on winding country roads with a paddle transmission.

Flappy paddle all things

Check out the Flat Out Classic in Topeka - April 26-27

It's a BMWCCA event, but all makes are welcome. http://www.flatoutclassic.com/

I did their No Excuses event this year, and hopefully it will work out for me to make it up for Flat Out next year.
