And yeah, I never get a thumbs up in SoCal. There are too many of us here or we're all too cool. Who knows.

Yup, an LSB F80 is tits. Saw one at the dealership and was in awe how good it looked. To me, the YMB isn't nearly as nice.

A guy in a Laguna Seca Blue E46 M3 pulled up and we both remarked about the coincidence of three M generations all together randomly on a public road. Then a guy and his girl in a 991 were in the carpool lane on the freeway, he drove up slowly and he gave me the thumbs up, I gave him the thumbs up back and he drove away slowly.

Then I can across a YMB F80 where it was younger guy driving like a freaking maniac and when I finally caught up to him to wave hello he kind of reluctantly "yeah yeah" waved at me and he floored it to get away.

Interesting fact I read somewhere that sales of M cars are up some crazy number like 60%. Rich are definitely getting richer and I do somewhat agree that M's have become more of a status symbol than an enthusiast community.

It's obviously not ALL M3 owners. I have been an M owner off and on for the past 10 years. Once I got into an E93 M, every M I ran into was super friendly. I guess they're becoming more and more affordable now so the tuner kids are picking them up now. I saw this happen with Z's as well. I started with a 240Z with a 302 swap. And Ended up picking up a 350Z back in 2004.. turbo'd it and then sold it around 2006, by 2010 the market was SO flooded with them that every kid on the block had one.

^Why is he/she parked so far away from the curb? That's an automatic ticket in my neighborhood.

Maybe he wants to be polite and let someone else park between him and the curb

If you've ever been to SF you would know how much stuff the cram on to the sidewalk. And you for sure know how hard it is to get out of the car when you park right up next to something.
