Hey I work in Old Town Pasasena. Maybe I'll see you cruising around. I almost got a no front plate ticket the other day. My wife talked the cop out of giving it.

Prolly the angle, but this one:

Other than you, I'm the first to see it on your car.

Both cars look great. Very cool to see the 2 as a side by side comparison.

Hey boss, I actually work in Woodlandhills where my client is. The mention of Pasadena was for strictly for Bimmerfest. Old Town Pasadena is a nice area. However, I'm in Pasadena from time to time to play the Bookside golf course.

You coming to bimmerfest? Let's see your stunna DPE wheels.

Curious, how did you get away with front plate ticket? My buddy recently got a tix for $178. Yes, they can give you a freakin fine and not a $25 fix-it-tix now. Weak...

My wife is pretty personable and can talk to anybody. She told the cop how she has already kept nagging me about putting the front plates on and "just because it looks good without the plates doesn't make it right". The cop just laughed. Then the cop asked "so who's paying for the car?", my wife says "I am, I got it for his birthday!". The cop just laughed again, shook his head, and left me a warning and that if he sees me again without plates, he'll get me.

Damn $178?!

Unfortunately I won't make it to Bimmerfest. I'm heading to PA to help my daughter put her stuff in storage for the end of the school year.

Simon, are you on sport or non-sport suspension? I'm on non-sport, if at all I MIGHT lower my car to the sport height.
