Two years ago my other friends brother sold his e46 m3 and got a caymanS. I thought he had made a huge mistake and downgraded. Then I drove it and compared to the M, realized he had made a correct decision. Now I am in!

It was sitting at the speedy transmission shop, (as if they had a prayer of fixing it). They wanted 5k for it in 1980, that was exactly one half of my annual gross that year, might as well have been one million. Now days it's a hot collectable, would have been worth many times more than five K, if only we knew the future sometimes...
