Congrats! So what's the score now. I've got 4 grandsons, 1
granddaughter.



Three girls, two boys. Need one more to even up the score.

The M5 makes it an even score!

Ah! The other "baby". Still working on the mandatory 1200 mile break in
procedure.
Pretty much got the hang of driving a manual without a clutch pedal
though.
During break in you have to limit max RPM to 5500, so shifts are done
around
4000-4500. After the break in period, max RPM is 8200 RPM with shifts
around
6500 - 7000 which is getting into the engine's powerband. Can't wait to
try
the "S6" mode. This car is going to get me in a lot of trouble.

Go visit Montana. I understand they're pretty lenient on speed out there.
I
rode across the state and didn't get a ticket. That's proof.

When the nationwide 55 speed limit was in affect. Wyoming gave a $5 wasting
natural resources ticket. Probably the same in Montana. Unless you are in
one of the speed zone areas.
