Ride of the Week
Find, take the time to care for your ride
Fireball Tim Lawrence

So you love cars, eh?
And as passionate
as you are here in
the ’Bu about your ride(s),
you’re having trouble finding
the time to (pick one):
1) Wash it, 2) Drive it, 3)
Build it, 4) Fix it, or 5)
Modify it.
Well, I understand your
dilemma and I hope this
here article may help. Our
lives are compartmentalized
into time sections.
Time managed in order to
complete the things you
want, need and have to get

petition, Yi was awarded
the Victor & Sono Elmaleh
Piano Prize, and her New
York recital debut was in
2015 at Weill Recital Hall
at Carnegie Hall on the
CAG New York Series. She
has also had engagements
resulting from her CAG
victory with the Dupage
Symphony Orchestra near
Chicago and the Roswell
Symphony in New Mexico,
as well as recitals for
the Trust Performing Arts
Center in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania,
and the Art Trail
Gallery in South Carolina.
Additional recent concerto
highlights for Yi include performances
with the Barcelona,
Jerusalem, and Boston
Symphony Orchestras, the
Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra,
and the Aspen Concert
Orchestra, working with
such conductors as Lawrence
Foster, Leon Fleisher,
and Christopher Wilkins.
She toured South America
playing Saint-Saëns concerto
No. 2 with the New
England Youth Philharmonic
Orchestra conducted by
Benjamin Zander.
A compelling recitalist,
Yi has given solo concerts
around the U.S. at
Alice Tully Hall in NYC,
the Phillips Collection
in Washington, D.C., the
Dame Myra Hess Series
in Chicago, the Bossier
done, right? And if you
don’t handle all compartments
in a day, your day
can go south. So, let’s
discuss this for a moment
and identify each compartment.
1) Clean it. The options
are to wash the car
yourself, go to a drive-thru
car wash, or get a detail.
Each one costs more than
the other, but this is about
time. If you wash the car
yourself and do a decent
job, it’s about an hour of
your time. A drive-thru is
about $8 and takes about 2
minutes. A detail typically
ranges from roughly $40-
$120 and takes two hours.
So, since this is about time,
doing a drive-thru wash
makes sense, unless you’re
driving a Bugatti Chiron.
Then, opt for the detail, at
your mansion, along with
your 22 other cars.
2) Drive it. Seems like
a simple notion, but when
you have a classic car, exotic
car, muscle car or any
other cool wheels, driving
it is key. So, you need
to make time to put your
butt in the seat and go up
and down PCH or into the
canyons, preferably during
the week when there’s not
a bunch of crotch rockets.
Or, take it to one of the car
shows in town on Sunday
for two hours. It’s time
well spent for the drive to
and fro.
3) Build it. Well, here
we get into a bit of an
issue. Those who have unbuilt
cars in their garages
will say they don’t have
the time. But the truth is
that they don’t have a plan.
So, write out everything
that needs to get done, put
it in order and just concentrate
on the first thing.
Dedicate 10 minutes, half
an hour, or an hour a day
and it will get done. It’s
just like walking from LA
to NY. Take it one step at
a time. It may take a long
‘Jam’n Bread’ Chamber
Series in Shreveport, LA,
and at Mount Holyoke College
in Massachusetts, as
well as internationally in
Spain and Korea.
Born in Seoul, Korea,
Ko-Eun Yi began her piano
studies at the age of 3. She
earned her bachelor and
master of music degrees at
The Juilliard School studying
with Jerome Lowenthal
and completed her professional
studies degree with
André-Michel Schub at
Manhattan School of Music.
She is now pursuing a
doctor of musical arts degree
at Stony Brook University
with Christina Dahl.

time, but you will make
progress and you will get
there — eventually.
4) Fix it. Simple. Again,
you need a plan or a good
mechanic. Stop lallygagging
and take the car in.
Or start the plan and do the
first thing. Even if it just
means ordering the parts.
I have a friend who had a
motorcycle in his garage
for 40 years. He only
recently built it and finally
is enjoying the fruits of
his labor. He’ll be the first
to say that he should have
done it 40 years ago. Time
wasted.
5) Modify it. Again, a
plan is key. Make a list of
modifications, put them in

do the cheapest one first.
Don’t try to do them all
at once as it’s a recipe for
disaster.
