This day was for the CCA crowd. They will be having a 'Grand Opening' event in about a month.
They invited me back for that one too. Should be fun.

Here's a pic.... Camera started goofing up after I took this one (point and shoot Sony... I didn't bring the DSLR... oh well)

Again - I great day.

FYI - This was the first time I have had the car out on a long drive....
I have ~3200 miles on it now in the year I have had it.

Some notes -
That noisy transmission really does get on my nerves.
The steering wheel not being 'straight' - also annoying.
I've received more 'thumbs up' from passers by in the year I have had this than in the 25 years I have had the 2002 and the Mustang.... combined. This car really does bring out the crowds. I had parked on the street (in a small town on Whidbey Island). I was talking with my wife on the cell phone - I had two different people make a point of kneeling down and giving me a smile.... I had to smile back
The car does 105 nice and smooth (have to love the M30 - and new tires/wheels- and a clear stretch of road for passing a group of cars)
Nice Lip, that particular bimmer has always been a favorite of mine :thumbsup:
