Mind blown. How is your top speed through a corner and at 132.

I was trying to think of a nice way to reply to that post. I was laughing my tail off to your reply.

I generally do to, just had the perfect opportunity to see what she could do. When I looked and saw no cars in front of me, I couldn't resist the 3 lane highway stretching for miles. It was like Divine intervention.

Trust me, I could make the average person wet their pants going through the twisties. Do you not have any straightaways where you drive?

No doubt. Do you consider it a good thing to have average people peeing in your car?

Haha, no. That's why I do it alone. I do have one buddy though that has a BMW and flies a Learjet for a living that will ride with me for the joy.

Speaking of BMW. I was a little bored yesterday, 73°F out, so I dropped the top and went for a ride. I ran across a white BMW with 2 red stripes running over it, in my favorite twisties and he couldn't keep up with me.

I love this car. It doesn't have the big HP numbers or as quick as my previous cars, but it's a whole different feeling driving this car.


Although I'm working on the HP and quickness.
