I tagged along on a private tour of Dinan (in Morgan Hill) from Steve with a few friends on Saturday. After the very interesting and impressive tour, Steve offered up rides in his M3. I was quick and got in the first ride with my good friend (and fellow BMW M3 enthusiast) Carl. Just a quick spin. 170mph at one point - from a geen light to the next red light. Unbelievable. I have been in a lot of very fast race cars, but this by far is the fastest street car I've been in. It doesn't even feel bumpy like a race car - it really is just a mild-mannered street car with a venomous beast under the hood. Holy cow. It also handles so well that it's almost rediculous. We did a freeway cloverleaf at breakneck speed, and the car was just trucking along with no trouble at all. No squeal, no slippage. Just like as if we were at the speed limit... aaaack!

Thanks for the great tour of your *very* impressive business, Steve! That makes two guys named "Steve" with the best job in the world!
