Weekly Roundup: Here Comes The Mom Blogger (And Others) Edition

Let me begin by thanking all of you for your patience. Last week, I asked any contributors who had not heard from me lately to shoot me a reminder email. Every one of the more-than-a-few emails I got was extremely polite and not at all hateful. Thanks for that. I'll be spending the next few weeks putting your stories, reviews, and motorcycle pieces into the system. I appreciate all of you more than I can say.

One of the contributors who has been waiting too long for her time in this relatively dim sun of mine is East Coast autocrosser and lady-about-town Ryan Cheek, pictured above. She and her 5.0-liter Coyote Mustang, affectionately nicknamed "Hank", have been pulling some impressive PAX finishes in her SCCA region for a while now. This September she'll join me and 223 other drivers in the SCCA Time Trial Nationals. Two weeks ago, we had a chance to sit down at a Biscuitville and talk about our motorsports dreams. I know you'll like her first contribution to Riverside Green, which should go up later this week.

Alright. As the real Alanis used to say, "enough about you... let's talk about me for a minute."

For TTAC, I reviewed a truck and offered some tough-love-style advice.

Brother Bark continued the Buick Death Watch.
