too funny...yesterday on 237 headed towards Sunnyvale during morning commute, I hear some honking to my left..I mean a lot of honking! I look over and see an Asian dude in an E39 M5 giving me the thumbs up ..kinda looked like Torquey5 (Dan), but it wasn't his beater Corolla, so didn't think it was him..haha.. ..double Dan sightings in one week!

He claims I was trying to race him (probably trying to redeem himself from the MDX pwnage), but I was just trying to get away from overly friendly, kinda creepy E39 dude...HAHA

LOL bastards!

I wasn't paying attention since I was slowing down to turn into my office lot and she freaking warps by like a bat out of hell.


As for Fiel, I honked at him and as soon as he saw me he ducked down and took the first exit out

Who else wants some of this??!

Did you just move up here? Whereabouts?

I'm only about 10 mins from Santana Row. That's my favorite spot. My friend DJs at Straits Cafe every Fri and he and a couple others rotate at the new Kaama Lounge across the street.
