Default I'm Back!!!

Did everyone miss me?

Decided to take vacation over the summer, touring throughout Europe. So exhausting! Nice to be home.

My garage is slightly updated, will make those changes to my profile soon.

Hope everyone is well, and I look forward to catching up on the IS350 gossip!

Thanks for all the warm wishes and welcomes upon my return to CL.

And for those of you that remember the "Is Mcfly HeggerGM?" debacle, my sources have lead me to believe that "McHefferGMfly" is now lurking again as yet another user.... more news to follow.

I didn't winterize or do any storage prep on my cars, as there were people around the Property looking after them and using them. I did find however that my niece has taken a liking to the SRT8 (she's about the only one), so it's now officially hers.

I'm loving the new M6, so I'm thinking that will be a Christmas present for me, especially since my wife is beating the crap out of the M5.

My Dad (now 68) truly enjoyed driving the IS, compared to his Caddy. He racked up over 4,000 miles in 2 months! Maybe a lot of trips to the Bunny Ranch without my Mom's toiling with the Caddy odometer?!

Keep on sharing that passion and all the excellent tips and advice!!

I like the SRT8..can I have it when she gets tired of it?

I was just lookin through the forums and thought Id comment because it seems your sig says your M3 was stolen? Was this while you were gone, or before you left?

M3 was stolen in LA over a year ago. All of my vehicles are garaged when they are home, so there's no worry of them getting stolen when I'm away, luckily.

I've decided to put an order on a new M6, they are absolutely beautiful. More details to follow this week!

Funny you should ask! I haven't been pursuing this issue hard, but when I do stop in the various dealerships, I haven't seen any colors that I like on the lot. And the ones that are sitting there are typically pre-ordered, and sitting waiting for pickup.

Plus, I'm having an additional 4 car garage built onto the existing "showroom" at my primary residence, and it's running slower than planned based on the winter conditions, rain, etc. I'd hate to put a $120k +/- car out in the elements, and the other garages are full!!!

BUT....If it's meant to be - I figure my new baby will be sitting there waiting for me! And if that's the case, I'll be taking it home that evening...

I'm definitely picking up a 335i in short order however!!! That thing rocks my socks off....
