Ride: ’06 Civic Extreme Dimensions Project Car

Background: "I bought it last Oct (2005), and about 1 week later I went to SEMA in Vegas. I stoped at the Extreme Dimensions booth to see if they had made any parts for the "06" Civic, and they told me no, nothing yet. So we got to talking and the person said 'give us a call next week after SEMA and talk to the guys there, maybe we can come up with something'. So a week later I called them and they wanted my car as soon as I could get it to them. That weekend it went to Extreme Dimensions. Then 9 1/2 mouths later my baby came home.

So after all that I got a body kit called 'GT COMPETITION', a carbon fiber hood, and lip wing. Also the header was done, 18" momo rims in front and 19" in back, the new BFG G force tires and tinted windows. My car is on their website and in some magazines. The paint is next to be done."

About HIN 2006: "I went to my 1st show on Oct 14 2006 at HIN. It was great! There were so many people there it was crazy. My car was in the front so when you walked in you saw my car. So many people stopped by to see it and if I was there they had to say something to me about it. It was the only 2006 Civic there. I met and took a pic with LJ Garica, and some models, Abbie and Jenny. It was a great night!"

How she got into performance: I started playing with cars in 1998, when I drove a friend’s lowered CRX. I wanted to start working on my car and I have always loved Civics, they look good.

Three things people should know about me:
I am a mother of 2- you don’t have to stop doing things you want to do when you have kids.

I have lots of piercings and 11 tattoos (I really like Looney Toons).

I am going to veterinary school to be an equine vet, I love riding and jumping.

Best part of being a girl racer: It bugs me when people think my car belongs to my fiancé. Not many girls race, so you get lots of attention from the guys. People love my car and my friends always know to ask what’s new with my car.
