So now the truth comes out as to why you went for the stiffer m-sport suspension!

I drive a lot on Houston's tollways, and always use the EZ-Tag lanes. When I first got my car, it took me two weeks to realize my toll tag was still affixed to the windshield of my old car, and I had neglected to get a new one.
Luckily, I had one of those unnumbered cardboard temporary plates on the car at the time, and they must not have been able to trace me from the violation pictures.

does getting away from a cop count??!!!! 
On my to work one morning (had the car for about a month) was running late. So I gunned it after I made a right turn to get past some slow moving traffic, since the lanes were merging into one lane.
I see a cop going the other way, he saw me speed, and made a u turn to come behind me. By this time I was about 200yds away coming to a traffic light. Made a snap decision to make a left turn at the light and immediately pull into a parking lot. The cop saw me turn right and he didn't notice me pull into the parking lot since there was a small mound. He just went straight still looking for me.
I waited for a few mins, and see the cop come back and head his original way.
I was shaking with thrill and fear that I evaded a cop!! Needless to say, I was still late.

i had my e60 for about 4 months when i did something regrettably stupid.
i had just finished eating a late dinner with some friends and soon after we all decided to go to my friends house. some how on the way to his place, a race to see who got there first started. well by the time i got to my friends driveway, he was already on it and had just opened his garage door. being stupid, i cut him off on his own driveway and decided to park my car into his garage. this is where i got even MORE stupid, i kept going into his garage and BOOM i hear something on my rear right corner. then i feel my car lifted a bit on 1 side. so i started to reverse, which made things even worst.
in the end my rear quarter panel was pushed in about 20% and scratches everywhere. i had rubbed my new beauty into the side of his garage door opening.
yes, i was stupid.
