Has it always been that way? I've been around M cars since I was 6 and I don't think I recall any of them ever experiencing a crack.

Maybe just lucky but no cracked windshields since 2004.

If you get hit by a laser while speeding... time to pray for mercy.

The beam of the laser is narrow enough that they can target you in a crowd. The only saving thing is if they target someone in front of you and the detector alerts on some scatter.... but if your alone, get targeted, then it is simply up to the LEO if wants to give you a citation or wait on a larger speeder. Waze + Detector = |

[An auto loving late night comedian was famous for jokes about CHP'ers getting testicular cancer due to leaving the radar guns in their laps between uses ... but I digress.] ... NHP was not cheap. I was doing 140 north of Tonopah and got pulled over by a NHP'er in a jeep. I realized it was a "police" car at the same time my radar detector went into angry bird mode.

Awesome thread! Love to read stories like this on the forum. I’ve been waiting for inventory to come in but every time a shipment comes prices are marked up and still sold. Not surprised one bit though here in SoCal.

Lists are still long for people just to get an allocation. If you're waiting for dealers to have an inventory of M cars to sell, you're going to be waiting for a long time.

No drama. I saw the lights go on, I pulled over. The road I was on had nothing paved you could even call a cross-road for the past or the next 20 miles. There was no escaping. If one did there would almost certainly be a NHP car waiting for you in Austin, Nevada. You can't outrun radio.
The officer walked up to the car and asked "How are you doing today sir?" I said "Ok until now" with a big s-eating smile. He gave me a hard look but I kept a slight smile and kept my hands at 10 and 2 on the steering wheel until he told me to pull my license, registration, and proof of insurance. As he wrote me up we chatted about if he drove stock cars at the track in Tonopah (many NHP'ers do; not many amusements in Tonopah). He said "I know there is no traffic out here but you cannot be going that fast. I am going to write you up for 80 in a 70 so it does not queer your insurance" (that is an exact word-for-word quote; not my words, his). I paid the $135 ticket by mail. I could have gone back and taken traffic school in Tonopah to keep the ticket off my record but I rarely get ticketed and that would have meant missing two days in the office so I just paid the ticket.
