Epilogue:
Brent and I both bought our Z3s in May (mine in '97, Brent in '00), the Midwest Ride was in May ('01), and here I was again with Brent in Missouri in May ('07). 10 years later, this car is still taking me on some wild rides and bringing me home safely. I know my car is possessed, she takes me places and introduces me to people I never would have met before.
Mark Twain was born in Missouri and then spent most of his life in New York, his quote on Brent and Connie's fridge could not be more appropriate:

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime."
Mark Twain


The people at the CCC travel through towns on the back of a credit card and a smirk, eating junk food and sitting in their own trash in fabulous cars they don't appreciate, never making eye contact with a human, only reading their PDAs. Their first day of driving they got 4 speeding tickets and Zac drove the Mini into a rock on the road and wrecked a wheel. That's more or equal to all the damage done with 500 Z3s on the road to Homecoming each year over 4 days combined. I did drive the Porsche GT3 for about 80 miles, and the Subaru WRX STi for about 100, but the humans I was with made both cars seem like New York taxis.
I feel sorry for the CCC people. We have a lot more fun in our little Z3s than they do in their expensive club cars.

Like Michel Potheau, the founder of the BMW Club of America always said: Its about the people, not the cars.
