I recently did a cross country drive in my M5, and snap a few pictures during a quick stop at Bonneville Salt Flats International Speedway. Hope you guys like it.

Nice pics Nelson!

I am not trying to hijack your tread, but I tried to stretch in my rental van's legs... and it was not fun at all. The surface was very uneven and a little wet.

Here is proof:

That day some guys from Edmunds.com were going to do some damage, but I was inpatient to wait for the show. That "baldy" on the left is me...

Imagine if you brought a bottle of quick detailer and tire shine
