I'm all confused now. So, I guess from now on I'll just post everything on the Main forum and leave it up to the Mods to move around.
Currently, I'm in Phoenix for a family gather over Thanksgiving holidays. Znod and I got together for an impromptu meeting. We discussed a few things namely our affinity for the e60 performance. I spoke to him about the many Socal Launches and how the different 545s (6speed, SMG, Step) stacked up against one another as well as the 550s. As the conversation went along a certain name popped up: EBMCS03. Hahaha... EBMCS03, you missed out.
Guess what I got to drive? The Z06.
It's a monster of a beast or is that a beast of a monster? I got the chance to do a few launches from a dig. Znod was not too impressed. Well, I didn't want to break or damage his baby. 
Anyhow, after getting over the apprehension that my shifting might break something, I finally let loose. OMG, the shifts were VIOLENT to the nth degree.
What a rush. Now, I have to get back into the 545i. 
Eat your heart out EBMCS03!

I haven't shared with you the forum yet; I am on crutches again. My hip recovery was miraculous. But, my wife had been cleaning some upstairs carpet about 5 weeks ago. As, my right foot hit the second wooden stair on the way down, it was like I had hit ice. My right leg went down stairs and my left leg bent behind me--breaking both left ankle bones--one in 4 pieces. I have many screws and a plate now. Now my left ankle matched my right from my sky diving accident. I have a little less than a week to do in my purple cast. Then, I'll be down to an ankle brace or a boot. Ironically, we replaced the carpet last week.
So, Joe did me a favor. The Z06 needed starting and driving. Also, I have never ridden in the car or felt its acceleration from a passenger's perspective. It's a great car. And, although the drag radials prevented wheel spin, the acceleration and shifts definitely are violent.

The proof is everywhere. There are a lot of pictures of my ugly mug in the Meet and Greet. Why do you think I chose a beautiful avatar? To balance out the ugly; ying/yang.

Well, the guy I took the snappies of said he is Joe. But, to cover up, he might have been "Jo's" b/f. And, he might be pulling the wool over the eyes of all the So. Cal. guys too.
Znod, sorry to hear about your mishap, but it's good to see you're still creating a ruckus on this forum.

I don't know, but the guy I met at the Nor Ca Meet and Greet introduced himself as Jiio. I'd be careful. Did you get your Z06 back?
