I was hoping for a nice day for pics, but rain all day and weekend. So here are some from last week, with 12mm spacers on rear....
I'll start a new thread in the appropriate section once the weather clears and I can get some real photos.

Looks beautiful Dave! I'm glad to see that someone finally got a MT 550. I was getting tired of seeing all the SAT's. 
PS - When are you selling me this car? 3 months? Should we start the paperwork now and get it out of the way?

Seriously, it can be all yours....just find someone first for yours! We'll have to wait for the titles to come in, though.

Why did you get rid of the M5 for a 550?

Because gas payments were more than the car payments itself..
550 can't be that much better can it?

14 mpg vs. 22 mpg.....I'll take the latter.
I'm guessing at least a season or two, and we're not talking a football season. That would be way too long.
