Drive back from Florida, etc.

On my drive back from Florida to Pennsylvania ... I picked up my BSM 1M in Orlando ... I had a number of reactions ... the ones that stand out ... a thumbs up by a 3 series ... an "a-okay finger sign" from a 5 series ... and even a "nod" from a MB driver ... among other reactions.

The drive was especially hard because of being the 1200 mile break in period ... had to keep it under 70 mph. You don't know how hard it was to watch other cars zoom past me, knowing what was under my hood.

Since I have been back I have gotten a number of "long stares", in the parking lots a copy of nice body kit (which I have to correct them by informing of the body being OEM).

(Not sure what to think about my boss' boss asking me if that sports car in the parking lot is mine, ut oh.)

A great car, a great ride, responsive, great look, but not over the top, okay, perhaps close but not over the top.
