fresh 93 octane Marathon

At my "home" gas station, partly because it sits at the entrance to my neighborhood, and partly because it is one of the brands of my former employer (and parlty because the pumps do not require a zip code to validate credit cards).

And yes, my car is dirty.

I didn't make it, again!
This time my mechanic got me...had to pick up my 328xi from service and we discussed the upcoming connecting and main bearings job for the M3. The motor is coming out for a mega preventive service.

I love the Bear Mountain drive, the wife and I take that route often each driving season, too bad the observation area was closed for you.

Hope we meet soon, pick a coffee place and let's do it. I'm in Fairfield County.

OK technically not a gas station, but there are old fuel pumps out front. I'm sure many of you who've been to Laguna Seca / Rennsport will recognize this iconic location in Carmel.

Great backdrop. Carmel - is that the place where Clint Eastwood was mayor?

Stunning! :thumbup: Is that Lava Orange?

Yes he was mayor there for awhile. He also still owns a big ranch there I believe.

Thank you! Yes, it is lava orange indeed. I just got it 2 weeks ago - my dream car was a lava orange 911, I was planning on getting a lava orange 718 GT4 when they came out, but I saw this and said "WTF - it's exactly (and I mean *exactly*) how I would spec it (and had done so several times on the Porsche configurator)", so I went ahead and got it. Couldn't be happier!

Awesome! It was meant to be! Congrats! :D
