Roadtrip to IND!!!

I will b heading out tomorrow... Leaving from New Orleans. . My daughter has her annual checkup at St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital in Memphis, TN on thursday so I thought why not bring the E90 M3 to IND for some mods beforehand. The car will be in good hands.

Hopefully IND can post some photos and updates.

Car is ready to go.

Good luck! I plan to something along those lines when I have the funds, and then do a great big roadtrip after I pick up the car!

Enjoy the salty roads through Illinois. . I assume your running summers so expect your car to handle worse than a Camry in the cold conditions even if it's dry out in less than 30 degree weather.

Some people just boggle my mind.

Now if you went on a safari or you like to closely follow dump trucks then maybe I can understand this.

Wait...No I can't, I would never allow myself to drive like a doofus with blue tape covering half my car.

I would tape mine up too - rock chips are horrible on long trips. Takes a few minutes for some extra piece of mind..

Looking forward to what IND has in store, they never fail to amaze me!

PS: Amazon sells "greenhouse" tape which is 4" wide and perfect for protecting your car on trips - and it's clear too

Don't worry I'm sure it was worth the drive threw the snow.
