I will be renting a Sebring convertible for the vacation, I'll have a full write up about why I like my car more than a Sebring convertible when I get back. L8 - Who did you deal with at KO? I'd like to put a face with a name when I stop there. I can play a pretty good straight man - so I'll be asking about the supercharger kit they sell for the 318ti. Hopefully I can see a production unit. Camera phone ready! I'm taking donations for this trip. If you feel like I'm providing a service, please send me money!
