Default My GPW Requested pics w/ mini story (Now w/ dyno)

Well the last two weeks have been extremely mentally testing. After two weeks of being a hermit I decided I needed to go on an adventure. As an S owner what's more therapeutic than a blind top down drive? Note: Dirty minds don't answer that, because I'm there with you So here's the path I decided to take:

http://tinyurl.com/25jhmvx

Between Muir beach, and Stinson beach there's a plethora of action for the S. While I was planning, and started out as a rather relaxing slow paced drive somewhere between Muir beach and Stinson a 335i came flying up behind me, threw his arm out the window and continuously pointing forward. While I never condone, or engage in excessive spirited driving I decided to bite because I wanted to see the difference of the skunk2 springs that blue installed for me. I'm a modest low key guy, but.... I ate him alive and fast. There's no place to turn around on that 1 lane road and he disappeared somewhere. I'm not sure if it was the 335i that lacked ability, or the driver but what I do know; Is I was overwhelming impressed of how planted and stable my S felt and how well I controlled it. I'm really looking forward to that AutoX day in Santa Clara.

Enough rambling here's some pics:

Definitely will let you know if I plan another outing. However I'm bipolar so many of my drives aren't planned until about 2 minutes before I decide that I'm going to go on one

Very nice, I hate asshole drivers. By the way, how much those springs lowered you?
