Sorry. Can't reply individually. Thanks everyone so much for the kind words.

Actually, I have one more mod this year. Its the black badge which should compliment the matte black theme well, I hope.

Half matte black and half body color would be bad ass...just a future thought.
I might do that if I decide to change.

Thanks John.

I got from member dirrrty. They were around $1k. How did you get one side without mirror?

I'll let you know about those LEDs. Thanks for the offer.
i got them cheap. It didnt have the glass in it. I'm gonna keep buying part by part until I get a whole package of a set of m5 mirrors. LOL

Thanks Scott. Hows your vacation so far?

Thanks for asking David. We are having a blast. Weather has been terrific. Hot but no rain. By now. we've walked all over Barcelona and seen most of the major sites. So we decided to be adventurous today. We rented a TDI Passat Wagon (BMW 3 and 5 Series cars were sold out) and drove about 300 miles today. We drove all the way up to near the French Border to an unbelievably beautiful seaside town on the Costa Brava called Cadaques -- where Salvador Dali lived for many years. Not only was the town unbelievably beautiful but the drive to and from it was mindblowing -- about 15 miles of some of the most hard core twisties I have ever driven (the road runs from Rosas to Cadaques) and has hundreds of curves and twisties with some turns being 270 degrees. One mistake and you fall thousands of feet down the mountain. Now THAT'S feeling alive.

Besides visiting Cadaques, we droves to Figures (the birthplace of Dali and home to an unbelievable Dali Musuem) and to Girona, which had one of the best-preserved old cities in Spain.

Tomorrow is my wife's birthday and we are seeing Madonna at the Olympic Stadium. It is going to be hard to return to work after this. We fly back on the 23rd.

Sounds great. I bet you wish you'd have the 550 there for those hard core twisties.

& Happy B-day to your wife!

Yes, a Passat TDI is a poor substitute for a 550i Sport in the twisties. Can we all say "no grip" and "tons of body roll" at the same time?

Thanks for wishing my wife a happy B-Day.
