Petit Memories
Special thanks to InterContinental Hotels Group, BMW Team RLL and the Peachtree BMW CCA for the stellar gift to cap off an amazing week!
Countdown to the Petit LeMans
Special thanks to United BMW and 2011 champions BMW Team RLL for a great pre-Petit event tonight. Mingling with the crowd I ran into three of my old 24 Hours of LeMons teammates and even a certain Mike Burroughs with his StanceWorks E9. This is shaping up to be an awesome week.

Congrats to BMW Motorsport! It was a hard slog through the night, but a podium finish at Le Mans is always well won. And they beat all the Porsches ;)

Say goodbye to Sabine Schmitz’s M5—the new ring-taxi is an E90 M3 sedan (punctuation redacted, depending on your feelings) (via caranddriver)
Flog them back to back and you’ll know that the M3 is a step up ;)

It really would be a perfect weekend car… for weekends at the track.
Anyone have a trailer I can borrow?
Old Porsches
Though I’ve driven a number of Porsche’s, I have always wanted to own one of my own. Much to my wife’s dismay, I’ve been giving a lot of thought to bringing home a cheap 944 project car to flog as an autocross and track rat. But will I be disappointed by a car slower and less fun to drive at the limit than my Miata? I also have a soft spot for Porsche 968’s, but when I last had the chance to buy one I settled on an E36 BMW M3 instead because it offered similar performance yet more practicality and cost less money. Maybe one day, right?
