        I had an older gentleman stop me at the gas station yesterday morning to talk to me about my 335i and tell me how nice it looked and how great it sounded.  He proceeded to tell me that he's had some BMW's but probably nothing I have ever heard of so I asked "Like what?".  He asked if I knew what a 2002 was... then told me about his Florida Green 2002 which he sold to buy his 84 e28 520i euro with the manual trans that he purchased from a Dr. in Georgia who he referred to as a "cheap bastard" who did a european delivery and ordered it as a base model.

        He continued to tell me about going to 5er fest every year except for 2009 when his Dr. wouldn't reschedule his heart surgery.

        The guy could have talked my ear off all day but he realized I was on my way to work.  He made sure to point out that he is retired and would be returning home to read his paper lol.

        That's Jim.  It's bahama beige.  Have spoken to him at a few times at Tedfest and today at the Windy City Vintage.  Super nice guy.

            saw an i8 outside of Pizza Man a couple of weeks ago. David Gruber was also inside eating pizza. Not sure if they are related, but I thought the chances were high.

              I saw that i8 on 94 yesterday near Oak Creek.  Not sure it's the same one but the color scheme was the same.

              I also saw a Fisker Karma in Chicago yesterday while we were leaving the football game.  That is an oddly gorgeous car in person.

                Island Green? Ti lowered on ds2's? Spotted on 41 south through Oshkosh. Wheels are a guess since it was rolling but car was super clean, Worthy of Earl's approval.

                Also saw a Gold kalahari beige? automatic 325ci on 894 south.

                        The Fisker looks better but you can't argue with the performance of the Tesla.  They have an insane mode for heavens sake!

                                  I saw a semi-stanced red E34 540i on hwy 100 and blue mound today after work around 3:45. Couldn't get a pic because of traffic though.

                                  Slowest N54 in Wisconsin.

                                    Nice de-badged 1'er has been in the parking lot where I'm staying here in Madison. Haven't seen the owner yet.

                                      Ha, nice that's me!  Car's dirty and needs an updated wax.  I can't quite figure out where that picture was taken or where I was at, at the time.  Where was it?

                                        I keep seeing a silver E46 M3 going north on I-43 between Good Hope and Brown Deer at about 7am most mornings. It looks slightly modded. Anybody on here?

                                          That might be my neighbor.  I'll ask if that's his route.
