Flexed on em Tully Rd, San Jose, CA

Flexed on 2 M's yesterday a white one and a diamond graphite one on Tully Rd in San Jose,CA around 5ish but none of them raced me. I rarely see any Ms around here and most of time, they are older folks (I'm 28) so when I get a chance with folks around my age or so i try to get a lil race going but no go.
Flexed on another white one this morning - no race either :-(

Flex down here in southern cali...you better be ready

LOL...what up Wangtan!!! did you ever get your exhaust set up completed?? pix or sound clip please!!!

Haha. Racing in a M is like racing barstools. It doesn't do it very well. You need a different car to tame your adrenalin requirements.

Visited CA for 10 days drove from Santa Barbara to LA and San diego and then Las Vegas.
Ive seen more Tesla than M. Ive seen ONE tesla in NY so far.
Pacific Coast Highway is amazing btw.

No exhaust yet man :-( Just barely getting over X mas and planning my kids 2nd bday end of this month.
Don't worry, I'll be ready for them So Cal Boys.

@ MSVARA - Around here most M drivers are like my parents age 50+, when I see an M driver around my age which is rarely, I want to test my M against theirs. I'm not a racer by any means, I get all them G35 coming up trying to race me, I know I can't hang with them, I'd like to add little extra power to at least try to keep up. I only have CAI and spacer, exhaust next then tune, hopefully I'll be able to keep up with some of them.

@ finikM35 - Especially Bay Area has a lots of Telsa, I see them everywhere. I guess cuz the Telsa HQ is in Fremont ~20miles from me.

I understand. I used to crave the rush of racing and winning, getting busted, citations the whole bit. The M's just don't provide that kind of excitement. With the traction controls, weight and luxury tuned interior plus the lack of road feedback from the steering wheel it just doesn't make sense to even try. What you need is a Honda S2000. Very very fun and they're cheap now.

Damn, are most M owners really 50+ here? I hope I'm not driving a herse lol. Or you just talking about where you live.

I'm 26. Usually in my area I see older people, not quite 50. And the rest are Mom's with a couple of kids in the back.

I got my share of tickets, trust me, I drive my M like a grandpa, using cruise control a lot!
There a topic going around Top speed in your M, mine is 80 HAHA
I did want to buy a S2000 or the BRZ but with 2 toddlers and a 7months old, the wife said "you better be able to fit 3 car seats"

My area all youngsters drive Gs, Ms are for more mature folks big body!

EDIT - Just kidding my top speed has not passed 100mph.

... the wife said "you better be able to fit 3 car seats" ...

That's open to interpretation really. Yes you can fit 3 car seats on the trunk of an S2000

[Wangtang408]

and eat crap lot of tickets right? Keep it real bro!

[svard75]

Sorry man I was just joking of course. I might have picked a minivan for more than 2 car seats though. Not so much for the car seats but the accessories that come with that many kids.

[Wangtang408]

I know, its all good! My kids rarely ride in my M, mostly my oldest 5yrs which I have to take to school sometimes but my wife normally does since it's on the way to her work.
I have an MDX to fit all the carseats
