Yesterday was painful

On my way down I-7 heading through Cincy yesterday to catch my flight, it was bad enough when a sexy Imola red M3 flew by me, driven by an elder gent who knew how to drive it...then as I was approaching the airport exit, a man in his 40's I'd guess, whizzed by in his black/black M5.

Me want. Both. The cars.

i feel your pain everyday of the week, twice daily, at least.

but it's RS6s, S4s, M5s, M3s (lots of these), aston's, maseratis, AMG cars, ZHPs.

once you are afflicted with the disease of seeing cars are more than mere transportation, it's a horrible daily life.

Yes it is. Mbr and I have agreed we have twins. Not too many Imola Ms or perf. pkgs around my way so it makes it pretty unique.

You know what? So far, in all this time, I've only seen 4 ZHP 330i's. And only one Red one.

I do think that red is simply awesome. People still check it out. No regrets AT ALL.

Sadly, bug season started yesterday for me. I already have quite a few of the remains of the dead on my bumper.
