To my fellow Snowbound S2K brethren, please allow me to apologize first. Sorry.

To recover from the holiday stress, my wife and i drove down the California coast via 101 to Highway 1 from San Jose to San Luis Obispo for a 2 day dirve. I could not believe that it was December. We drove top down the entire trip, and the temps were from 50-74 degrees. the car handles great on the twisties, and nice and smooth everywhere else. That was great news considering I have over 12k on the stock tires. Anyways, 500 miles later, after great food and winetasting, I am home "debriefing" to you all. Wow. This car never ceases to amaze me...and yes, people still come and talk to me about the car everywhere else I go (except Bay Area) and no, I did not see any other S2K's on the central coast. (a z3 did speed up to catch up with me when I was cruising, but somehow he just couldn't pass I wonder why...)
Ok, I am now done making those in the snow feel bad, but i figured c3 does it all the time... =) **I'll post pics ASAP.

Did the grind first time in the S2K from LA to OR and back again. 1500 miles in 4 days (well 2 days if you count drive time). Doubled the ODO count. Driving too close to slo-pokes doubled the rock-chip-intake. Time for a wax and then off to AZ for some new twisties.
