That old school. Always liked that car in blue with white stripes.

I saw a Viper ACR at the middle school yesterday, but I know the house in town it lives on so that doesn't count.

It was in really good condition - someone obviously loves it. It had a handicapped placard and was parked in that spot until past lunchtime. Kind of an odd spot to leave it for half the workday.

I didn't get a picture, but the other day we saw a current-gen RS6 avant parked in town - purple with a matching purple roof box. It was awesome, and very, very purple.

I spotted this Valencia Orange 1M on Hilton Head Island last Sunday night and then saw him again Monday morning. I honked and gave him a thumbs up which he reply by waving back. I instantly thought of Mike (IndyMike) as I remembered he purchased his twin to this in Hilton Head.

Ha-ha. Thanks for the flashback Sean. Good memory in that this is where my 1 M resided before I purchased it. Hard to believe it will be 10 years in July. In all that time i have yet to see another one in the wild. Good to know the owner of my zwillinge (twin) was not a typical BMW snob and blew your greeting off. I normally get the brush-off from fellow M owners more times than not.

Most M owners these days are badge buyers with a stick up their ass.

The tags on this one appear to be from Illinois, personalized too… I cannot fully make out what it says.

I’d imagine most 1m owners are true enthusiasts though? Most bmw buyers (even m buyers) probably don’t even know what it is or why it’s special
