Good morning all. It was great seeing you, although once again I feel we missed meeting many people. We had a little snafu with our lodging that made Saturday a difficult adventure. As a result, we bugged out pretty early.
While there I counted 14 coupes grouped together at the left (separate from the larger collection of cars). But while walking through the event it was a delight to see two more coupes out "in the wild". I don't know that this is a popular sentiment, but I like seeing our cars out in the field. When I walk and talk to folks at this event and they ask what car I have, I almost always get the same reaction when I say an e9. "Oh, an e9. What are you doing out here talking to people with the 'regular cars'.". Suddenly, I'm not a BMW enthusiast, but one of those stuffy people with an e9. Jeez, if they only knew... Personally, I think grouping the cars to the left of the entrance further reinforces this stigma. Anyway, it was really great to see a couple of coupes out there in the field. Not sure who's cars they were, but I think they were both from Georgia (at least one was for sure). I saw at least one of them at the Foundation on Friday, too.
Hope everyone makes it home safely. On our way back there was a huge wind event in Indiana that had traffic slowed or stopped for miles. The winds were so strong that a semi truck had been knocked over. Trees were blown over into the lanes. Southbound was much worse. The traffic was stopped for tens of miles. Again, be safe - I am thinking of you
