My Yaris got a new roommate!

[rage2]

hehe picked up a 2003.5 BMW M3 Cab SMG this weekend, drove her back from Chicago to Calgary, 2000 miles of pretty much no speed limit, 150mph blasts through South Dakota and Montana!

M3 = :drool:

I second that! really gorgeous

150mph blasts through South Dakota and Montana!

Did you go that fast with the top down? :eyebulge:

[blacksan]

If I ever made that move the next step would be be throwing my drivers license away.:biggrin:

[staticorex]

That building makes the car look even better. :)

[rage2]

I second that! really gorgeous

Did you go that fast with the top down? :eyebulge:
haha thanks. I did cruse at 150mph with the top down for a good 20 minutes, I have the windscreen and really, above 120mph the wind noise does get annoying. I did the last stretch of montana with the top up at 150mph.

That's not terribly crazy... my old delimited and renntech'd SLK32, I used to cruse at 170mph top down haha.

Wow, you must feel neutered driving a Yaris!

[stuffy]

excellent photos (as well as car)!

[rage2]

Wow, you must feel neutered driving a Yaris!
Well the Yaris I bought for my brother... but really, it's totally different driving experiences. The M3 while fast, lets you make mistakes without costing speed... get away a bit more with agressive driving. The Yaris (with all the suspension mods) forces you to drive smooth to maintain speed in and out of corners. I actually enjoy driving both cars and they both get even road time with me.

My E55 however has been really neglected... it's been parked ever since I bought the Yaris. I'm gonna sell it this week.

[YarisGuy]

Loving the pics man! And 150mph with the top down = :eyebulge: :burnrubber:

[sherryberry]

Nice car! wow... just wow to your 150mph. I think the fastest i've gone ever is 95mph and i don't dare go any faster... cops here are a pest. and the fastest you can go anywhere around is 55.

[rage2]

hehe my fastest was 302km/h (189mph) in my old 944 turbo.

[RodimusPrime]

Beautiful piece of machinery.

[Ci2Eye]

Nice car, Rage.

The M3's an awesome car. Is, is that Carbon Black?

And, who ya gonna support in F1 now? The whirling propeller boys or Jarno and Ralf?

[rage2]

Yep, that's Carbon Black. Thanks for all the comments guys!

As for who I'm supporting in F1, if you read my blog you'll know that I've been a hardcore McLaren fan since forever. Some of my readers think I jinxed the McLaren team this weekend by buying this car, thus losing out to Ferrari at Magny Cours.

[rage2]

Really? I thought it was kinda crappy... I've been hunting for a higher quality camera haha. It's just a Canon SD700IS and some basic post processing (curve adjustments) in photoshop.

[rage2]

Got my suspension and wheels put on today. Now I can drive the car haha.
