Getting broke !

Not sure how people do it but being single and living in Northern New Jersey is mind blowing to me. Think about it, you're a young urban professional and pull down decent cash and you struggle to just buy a condo in a prefered place. Just doesn't seem right. I definitely understand why people communte 1 or 2 hours to get to work. Regardless, all the money I that I saved the last 5 years I've spent in a matter of days trying to purchase a 1400 sq foot condo. I've been fortunate however to have friends that know people like lenders and lawyers, and parents that support me with their devoted guidance including finding the condo I'm purchasing. All I had to do was cough up some cash ! So please forward me any opportunities to use double coupons and people willing to shack up with a broke x-yuppie.

Almost died...well sort of...

A few weeks ago I attended a track day with PDA and Motorsportsne at Pocono International Speedway East. I normally have 3 goals at every track day. 1) Have fun 2) don't go off 3) don't die. I try not to over complicate things as these 3 things have worked for me so far :)

It was about our 4th session of the day and after realizing I was going in too hot into the 2nd turn after Nascar induced some snap oversteer turning in. I of course corrected and after turning the wheel opposite lock for the 2nd time going about 85 MPH the little voice inside my head said "Joon, you're kinda screwed". We (super Dan was my passenger) held a drift for about 5 seconds after running out of track went off sideways into the dirt. It was kind of funny as going into the dirt sideways threw about 5 pounds of dirt into Dan's lap. Dirt managed to pack itself in between the tire and the rim on the right rear and the brackets for the eccentric bolts that hold the rear toe broke but other that that the car was okay.

Not too much drama, no addrenaline, not even shaken up. I guess after you do enough track time all those feelings go away. I think this worries me a little bit and like I said before a lot of things are going on upstairs nowadays :)

Not to worry my autocross buddies too much but I decided last year I'm going to try and start club racing in a few years. I think changing jobs is ultimately going to help with that effort as racing requires a lot of money and the ability to take time off to travel to venues. Next couple of years I'm going to try and participate in NASA TT to see if this is ultimately what I want to do but life throws a lot of curveballs so we'll see.

Life Continues !!!

Okay, now that it's Sunday and I already worked this morning...this self employment thing is jacked! i'm going to post a video of some slalom work at the last NYSCCA autocross. Looks who's at the end. I think you'll recognize me tearing up the slalom !!!

Another blog, huh?

I know, I know. Who the heck blogs anymore? I actually had a Xanga site a few year ago but I just ranted about work over and over again. Sort of a lot of things have been happening to me lately thus my inspiration to start a new blog. In a span of 2 weeks I managed to quit my job, go completely broke by purchasing a half million dollar condo, alienate all my friends (many of which I met through work), and almost kill myself in my car. Well to be honest, I didn't see my life flash before my eyes but God was definitely with me. It's late, I have to cut out some coupons and say a couple prayers so enjoy...
