    My exciting week coming up!!!

    The time has finally come. Tuesday night we leave Maui for Idaho. On Wed. we pick up our "new" BMW 2006 M5. I have only seen pictures and I have never driven the latest M5. A 500hp family sedan. Then on Fri. my son and I fly to Salt Lake City to pick up my new 2007 430 spider. I have never added almost 1000 HP to the family in one week. It has been a four year wait for the 430 spider and I am sure it was worth it. Anything different from my 360 spider that I need to know on the 300 mile drive to Sun Valley? I have also never driven a 430 yet. I CAN HARDLY WAIT!!!

    When your memories exceed your dreams, it's all over. I still have lots of dreams.

    All I can tell you it will be an exciting ride home. You will find the 430 a dramatic improvement over the 360. I can feel your anticipation.

    Man, talk about an exciting week! A double whammy! Congrats. I don't think I'd be able to sleep knowing what I know now, as far as how incredible the F430 drives. Once you are behind the wheel of that spider, you will know what the fuss is about. The only bad thing is that once you drive the Spider you are probably not going want to drive the M5 much.

    The M5 will fit my wife and the two dogs.
