Yeah we have them here too and you never really get used to the little kid getting murdered thing, even when you recognize it for what it is.

Did it sound like this? Its a lot less evil sounding than a horny fox.

Down your way, you might have Barn Owls. They make horrible sounds:

Yikes. Just listening to these. That barn owl is horrible. May well have been the sound that freaked out me and my dog.

Jeff, that is an awesome picture. Looks like a fun place to hike too.

We are back to quarantining at the lake this week. Long story, but we think our neighbor has COVID. At least the 911 came with us this time.

I'm curious to see how it runs on Leaded Gas. It was only $0.42/gallon

Looks tasty Theo. If it weren't for the EPS I'd be sore tempted to find an excuse to add one to the family livery.

Just curious; as the first M2 taker on the board have you noticed the supposed cockeyed, slightly canted driver seating position?

Good to see you Mike! Not often enough. Funny thing I have not. I’ve been for several long drives now and not noticed it. I may now since you planted the seed in my brain. Lol

How many miles are you up to on the 1M? I bet no where near Plaz’s over 100K.

Are you still loving it almost 10y later. Now that I sold the M5, besides Lip, you might hold the long term newish car ownership record.

Also VW wise. Thoughts on the new frownie face 2021 GTI?

I can't believe the 1M came out a decade ago. Time flies.
