My wife called me today from her office and asked me to swap the Bimmer for the Truck. She didn't feel like driving it home in this weather. Before I left her office parking lot, I decided to snap a few pix. Even with my summer wheels and tires, the car still handled exceptionally! I braked hard straight and through turns, accelerated hard and the car just kept going. Traction control only came on one time, but it still handled great.

Anyway, I took a few pix. I like the second one.

I think you mispelled it. It should have said "C Blocker"

Jeez. You got all that snow on the Island today. Lotsa wet rain/sleet up north, but nothing much sticking.

You're a crazy man for driving without snows!

Since ECF and Boner are here, do the two of you know if there is an active member on M5board with a debadged Silver Gray M5 in San Francisco? Saw him on the way to work exiting 6th st on 280 N.

The guy is an enthusiast, for sure. Not too many people would debadge a M5. Was going to give him a thumbs up, but he never looked my way. And, before anyone asks why I didn't run him well it's b/c of the morning rush hour traffic. We now return you to C's regular scheduled post whoring.

That weather sucks! Now your x-drive kicks in for fun.
Come to Bay Area for better weather and free parking

This is right in front of my office.


What's worst is, the building people are moving all the slush off the sidewalk.. which in turn goes onto my car... HAHA.


Oh wellz, it needs to get cleaned anyway. its more motivation for me to get it cleaned later.
