: On the way to the BMW dealership, I encountered the first M Coupe I ever saw on the road. It was Oxford Green, and the guy driving it was about 70 years old. We were first at a light about 3 miles from the dealership, and I couldn't have been more excited sitting at a light with a fellow M Coupe. I smiled at him, and took off at the light with moderate throttle. He must have set a record for the slowest acceleration with an M coupe ever. When I got to the dealership, I was thinking about the guy, and how he probably didn't even appreciate his car. About 5 minutes later (no joke, he drives too slow), the Oxford Green M Coupe comes in the parking lot and parks next to me.: When he got out I said, "So, how do you like your car?" You know, you would expect some time of response varying from either "It sucks" to "My wife is leaving me because I spend too much time with it."
: However, his response to my question, and i will repeat it, "So, how do you like your car?" was "I have a Porsche." I just stood there dumbfounded wondering what the guy was trying to prove by saying he had a Porsche. He said the Porsche handles much better (He didn't say what kind and frankly I didn't care) and that he really doesn't like the M Coupe at all. I don't know, his whole demeanor and lack of enthusiasm for his car really bothered me. I really wish his M Coupe could be given to someone who really would cherish it like most of us do.
: "I have a Porsche." What an ass.
