My Ride: 2007 Titanium Gray 550i, with sport, nav, HUD, Logic7, sat radio, cold weather, rear side airbags, rear seat heaters, and it goes like a bat outta hell!
So....I'm pulling out of my office lot yesterday ready to head home, and as I pull up to the stop sign at the cross street I see a vaguely familiar shape go by......after a bit of a brain fart I realize...that's a brand new M5!! Beautiful silver color I hadn't seen before......I'm stuck at the stop waiting to turn against traffic to catch up and get a better look. I saw from the license plate frame that the car was bought from the same dealership I bought my cars from. I'm moving pretty good now trying to catch up......traffic's a bit heavy....finally I'm only a couple of cars back as we head out on some rural twisties....the M turns and I follow.....I think, "what the hell" I need to get out and have an "ultimate drive" as it's been one of those days......we're on a two lane windy road through vineyard country......going anywhere from 50 mph to 70...I'm hanging back trying to be respectful of my superiors!! About 15 miles after leaving my office the M turns into a private drive......and pulls up to a mailbox. A woman gets out...about 35 maybe....with kids in the car.....two at least that I can see.....and I'm thinking......this is NOT what I expected!! Don't get me wrong......I love a woman that loves the same cars I do...but an M5 to taxi kids around?? A soccer mom?? and don't get me wrong again....I'm married to a soccer mom.......but I guess it just didn't fit the stereotype I had playing in my mind!! Not to mention the fact that with the kids there I couldn't pull over and ask if she wanted to trade cars for a few miles 
So.....I kept on driving down this back, rural, twisty road.......and found myself exploring my car's potential....and I have to say....rolling hills, winding curves......this car just eats them up!! I got home and my face hurt from the constant grin!!
Just wanted to share my trip home last night......I took the long way home....and it's ok.....I'm working through the break in period.....I need the miles!!

My Ride: '05 545i - scheduled for ED pickup in Munich on 7/22!
So mothers can't be car enthusiasts?
My sister is the mother of 1 child and she thinks the 545 is too soft and luxurious. She hates the suspension and thinks it must be made of tofu. She prefers her Porsche.

I have no doubt there are a lot of women that are car enthusiasts...but after doing a 15 minute run through winding back roads at speed, I just didn't expect to see expect to see a mom with kids in the car!!

Haha great story kmslo. She sounds like a hot MILF with a nice car.
On the opposite end, last week i pulled up at a red light and two cars in front of me to the left was a bright yellow Lotus Elise. After the light turned green i caught up and looked over to see who was driving. It was some lady old enough to be my grandma with her face against the windshield. I tried to give her a thumbs up but she didnt see me.
