My Confucious saying for the day is

Man who walk through airport door sideways is going to Bangkok."

And on the lighter side

Why does a Blonde prefer a BMW over a Chevrolet ?

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny. 2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter. Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.

Actually, I appreciate what I have. Everyday I thank God that I drive an E60. Look on the bright side; we could be driving one of those Lexota GS450h. Brrrrrr!!!!

So I was looking online the other day at some 6ers, an M3, even some SLK and S class Mercedes, and admiring those cars thinking to myself, (I just have a lowly 5 series, a lowly 530 at that...)

I had a '97 540i up until a few months ago and it was till turning heads. Beemers are timeless! So charge your glass and lets's make a toast to Long live the Ultimate Driving Machines!
