<div>Oh man, we're getting old. I'm beyond *getting* there. :-P</div>

<div>I just reanimated my 98 M Roadie. Compared with my 01 325iT (with coilovers and aftermarket swaybars), the Roadie is a visceral ride. Mostly fun, but *constantly* giving you an overload of feedback (and just plain NVH). I drove it a bit over the weekend
(and to work today), but shortly after, I hopped into the wagon. You know, the wagon is actually a better car in many ways. It's still sporty with good feedback and I feel more trusting in it. I love the fact the Roadie is a true roadster, and that is fun.
But it sure takes a lot more out of this old man.</div>
