[s-cars] RE: New M Roadster in the House

[CyberPoet]

Been there, done that, great choice :)
Aside from the smallest cargo space in the known universe, you have
acquired what in my mind is the single best driving experience car in
the known universe. I have never rolled one (although I have turned it
sideways and then slammed it into reverse and spun around into a
parking lot, akin to a movie stunt to avoid a truck that couldn't stop
in time). I can't deny that this a heavenly driving experience in any
context...

Just watch out for your license :)
Cheers!

After selling the 93 S4 a few weeks back, the new car search
intensified,
resulting in a marathon run to North Carolina and back to pick up a
perfect
99 M Roadster.  Haven't rolled it yet, not even on the West Virginia
turnpike
(which has to be one of the funnest roads in America).

What a monster.  Published 0-60 times of around 5 seconds stock, and it
stops
hard enough to unzip your fly.  I remain convinced that it's insane to
be
exploring the limits of this thing on the road.  If we decided we
wanted to
thin the herd of 16-year-old boys (and errant former S-Car listers),
all we'd
have to do is distribute M Roadsters...
