Have seen it in person numerous times and you WON"T be disappointed! I'm a little sad to see it leave SRQ, but I'm sure you'll do great things!

    Erik,

    I appreciate the endorsement. Makes me feel very good about the purchase. I was checking out the map when I was planning my trip to see the car and noticed that Holmes Beach was not far at all. I wanted to stop in and check out your car, but my wife wouldn't let me go to Florida without taking her and making a beach weekend out of it. I couldn't subject her to too many cars. The beach was crazy. The water was 90 degrees and every wave coming in was warmer than the water I was standing in. This was the weekend Ike hit Texas.

      Aw man! I work pretty close to 1552! If I would have known you were coming I would have stopped by. So you did come down but didn't drive it back? That's cool though, do you know what beach you went to? I travel all along the Bradenton/Sarasota Beaches to find whatever waves may exist to skim.

        Damn it! I should have contacted you.

        You know, gas would be half the price of shipping and I didn't quite have my funds in order to drive it away. I got a good deal on airfare and really couldn't take extra time from work, and my wife cannot drive a manual, so...

        We went to Siesta Key. We flew in Saturday and left Sunday. It felt like we were there for a week! Real relaxing, and I got an M3.

            Congrats. That's one thing about the S50US. It's almost bulletproof, starts on every turn, is smooth as hell, and fast. The S14 is a blast as well, but in a much different way.

              We'll talk again. Some work will go into this M3 (over time) to make one of my dreams come true.

              Man, that car fired up before it could even crank. All when ice cold to the touch. I do want to add an S14 M3 in the future, but this i plan to keep.

                So the wife can't drive the M3? That's a shame. ;)

                Very nice car! And I'd take the S50 over the S14 thank you very much.
