This #MemberCarMonday, we’re featuring Sam and her adventure-ready Jeep Wrangler! Whether she’s conquering off-road trails or cruising through town, Sam’s Jeep is built for both thrill and style. Read more below.
“Heather is Samantha’s 2007 Jeep Wrangler, named after Samantha’s high school mentor and IT advisor, Mrs. Heather, who remains a close friend and a source of inspiration to this day.
Heather was bought in Dundalk, Maryland, (close to Baltimore) from a man who loved off-roading on mountains. That’s why Heather is equipped with an off-road jack and large, deep-grooved tires.
This past summer, I (Sam) learned how to drive a manual transmission for the first time on Heather. I know that this was pretty scary for my friends (Hannah, Sammy, Linda and Jose) who told me I was doing a great job as I stalled on the road several times. Also, as you all probably know, the center of gravity in a Jeep is high off the ground, which means that if you turn a Jeep too quickly, you are at risk of flipping over. However, after a few close calls and some difficulties in the rain with broken windshield wipers, I started to love the process of learning about this car.
I handle her regular maintenance, and my brother gifted me a “carplay” and a backup camera, which has made traveling a little bit easier. Since Heather is a fairly recent addition and now down here in Atlanta!!!!, I have a few goals for her in the future.
I want to add internal lighting, replace the brights with LED lights, and remove the side mirrors from the doors to make the doors removable. I also need to fix the O2 sensor and the parking sensor, as they’re causing engine erosion and some odd beeping. Additionally, I plan to revamp the body and improve its aesthetics.
In a year’s time, I hope Heather will be both more beautiful and safer! And.. she will be offroading maybe in the mountains or on the beach!” #membercarmonday #jeep #projectcar #offroading #wreckracinggt

After a short break, we’re back with another Member Car Monday! This week, we’re shining the spotlight on Bradley Smith and his beloved Miata.
Bradley’s journey with his Miata has been nothing short of exciting. Here’s a bit of a deeper dive into his story! “Ever since I knew what a sports car was, I've been itching to have my own and take to track days and autocross events. I had been looking at cheap, older cars on and off since high school, but Covid-era pricing forced me to wait. Finally, after my sophomore year of college, my dad and I picked up this 1992 Mazda Miata. It was completely stock with over 225k miles, and it even came with a hard top! Now, a year and a half later, it's sitting on coilovers and other upgraded suspension components, has new wheels and tires, and a Hard Dog roll bar for safety. I've had the opportunity to take it to AMP with Wreck Racing and have done a couple of airport days with it now, and it puts up some incredible times. Every drive is fun and exciting, and really does go to show that a Miata Is Always The Answer.”

#membercarmonday Today, we’re shining a spotli

#membercarmonday Today, we’re shining a spotlight on Joshua Dacosta and his impressive journey with cars. Joshua has been able to work on both our retired car, the 818zx, and our current Conquest TS4. His dedication and skill have not only strengthened the team but also translated into the progress of his personal project car. Here’s a closer look at Joshua’s car and the story behind it. “This car was a surprise gift from my parents for my high school graduation. It’s a 2005 Acura RL. When I first saw it at home, I was initially disappointed because I had never seen one before and didn’t know what I was looking at. I decided to research what the car was and discovered some interesting details about its history and development. Before I could start driving it, I had to perform some maintenance—specifically, replacing the timing belt and water pump. From that job, I learned so much about the platform and began to truly appreciate it.
The car runs exceptionally well for having over 200k miles, with that last 40k added by me. It is more than adequate for road trips although passengers may say otherwise. Since I started driving it, I haven’t experienced any major maintenance issues nor has it ever left me stranded. I had the opportunity to take it to Airport Day last November where I learned that luxury boats are not set up for cornering even with its powerful all-wheel drive setup.
Most of the modifications I’ve made to the car are focused on creature comfort and aesthetics. The key changes include the addition of factory-integrated Bluetooth (since the navigation and climate controls share the same screen, making an aftermarket setup difficult), a lightweight-crank pulley (deleting the harmonic balancer for more responsive engine speed), cold-air intake, additional ground wires, wheels and tires. I do plan on keeping the car for a while and working on it to improve drivability. My current goal is to get coilovers as an alternative to my worn out shocks. Overall I really enjoy driving the car and all the cool tech it includes adds to the experience all the more.”

#membercarmonday This week’s Member Car Monday

#membercarmonday This week’s Member Car Monday features a newer member who’s already making a big impact: Joseph Bamert and his incredible 1989 Porsche 944 S2. Here’s what Joseph had to say about his car:
“ This is my 1989 Porsche 944 S2. (The S2 is the cool version; 16 valve DOHC 3L inline-4) I bought it as my first project car 2 years ago through FB marketplace and since owning it I’ve done mostly maintenance including: rod bearings, lots of fluid leaks, rear axle rebuilds, chain tensioner replacement, and some other small things.
It has a race interior with a Momo bucket seat, Momo Prototipo, 6-point racing harness and a KLA harness bar. Gears are shifted through a Only944 short shifter and shift linkage. It is sat on Staggered OZ racing wheels wrapped in some Chinese tires. The power steering rack was removed because all it did was leak and has since been replaced with a manual variant. My favorite “mod” might be the custom plate though.“

Spending hours on end in the shop, we competed with the 818ZX in 2024, finishing 2nd overall. We then retired the car, doubled the size of our club, and started our new build, the Conquest TS4. Can’t wait to see what 2025 brings! #wreckracinggt #818zx #grm2000challenge #gtme #conquest #2024recap
