Last weekend while I was making my way back down to the coast from Alice's up on Skyline here in Northern California, I drove behind a new M3 Sedan for about 20 miles. No plates, stirling grey, loan driver. Surprisingly though, they were taking it pretty easy, I don't think they even broke the speed limit and anyone who drives that road knows, *nobody* drives the limit. We turned north on Hwy 1 and he then cut east at 92 in Half Moon Bay. Anyone have any ideas who it might have been?

LOL. I'm in the south bay with a red one...and I understand the speed limit thingy. This car drives absolutely incredible at low speeds. It's actually just as much fun to drive slow, as it is to hit the gas and go crazy.
