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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
