Weekend adventures in the Stude... finally⚡️My 30-mile test drive was going so good I decided to double down. Driving country roads was certainly more enjoyable than the traffic back in LA! I look forward to more of these♥️ . . . #grea

Thumbs up👍Editing some pics from Speedweek 2016 when I licensed for the first time & had to share. There’s nothing like being suited up and placed in a race car for the first time⚡️It still blows my mind when I close my eyes and think of it.

I’ve never seen a No Trespassing sign that I want to disregard more than this one! Am I right? ✨This home was built in 1883 and is one of the best Victorian-style Texas homes still standing. Made of Texas limestone, most of the house is original

Many DIY-ladies never venture to the garage, which is why I love that @dontaskdo includes a section for it on their fab blog! Read up on New Year, New Car Maintenance in the Q&A we did and then browse some of their other DIYs and life skills topics⚡️

Here’s my 2019 project bike⚡️Goal is to get it up and running & mechanically trust it to transport me on my first long-distance road trip! Texas to CA in October for @babesrideout! It’s a Kawasaki 750 that we bought 2 years ago for 500 bucks. There ha

⚡️Gasket⚡️When I was first trying to learn about cars, one word that kept popping up, to my confusion, was the word “gasket.” I’d hear about blown head gaskets being really expensive repairs and then on the flip side comments like, “No problem, it

Studie’s 1st Texas drive⚡️It took me awhile to get to her & it took longer than expected (doesn’t it always) in the garage this weekend, but we hit the road at sunset on Sunday. It seems like the timing was just right in so many ways. You kinda have t

Happy AF⚡️Studie started!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh... it’s been 6 months since I’ve heard her roar♥️I literally had tears in my eyes when she roared to life and all the reasons I love her came flooding back to me. Check out my stories for toda

Getting close to firing!⚡️🙌Trans pan is sealed up, feet are on the ground & I’ve been doing some other checks since she hasn’t run for 6 months. Added some rear diff fluid (was going to change diff gasket but will get to that later), addi

Fuel, air, spark⚡️The 3 fundamental things an engine needs to run. A carburetor is responsible for mixing the fuel and air together as it enters the engine. Carburetors have mechanical components within, such as floats & jets, that dictate the fuel/ai

We’ve not been very dedicated to F100 progress yet this break, but that’s about to change⚡️Aiden (our 13yo helper) came over yesterday and had fun breaking apart the front end... tonight Ethan and I are taking to the cab patch panel (Ethan) and the un

Time to plan the next solo trip⚡️I keep thinking back to the morning of this ride. Waking up at the crack of dawn to carve the deliciously empty twisty turns of Hwy 1 as little bits of morning fog dissolved. There was nothing but me and the bike and t

Hey-ho...let’s GO!⚡️Cleveland is waiting while ‘66 F-100 gets blown apart. You can see cab off of frame in the background. “While we’re at it” we’ve decided to go the paint route. As much as I love patina, this truck was mismatched and though it will
