cars and those related to them http://mydrive.roadfly.com/blog/karl_garcia/ en-us Webligo BlogHoster BMW 7 series initial review...so I'm driving this 7 series this week.  I figure I'll write something about it.It's definitely a much better handling car than the S-class.  I instantly feel comfortable, and does't feel like a boat despite the size.  Power is instantaneous, and to me a great looker.  Interior is huge!  Even my tall friend John (hyperguitar) who is 6'4 has like 4 inches extra leg room in the back, despite front passenger also using up a lot of space.The car is hi-tech.  So many gadgets, the manual must be an encyclopedia.First the I-DRIVE.Yes it's a bit tricky, but after playing with it, I get it.  I can see people who have problems setting their VCR time complaining.  It's not for people who are not good with computers.  You have to play with it.The backup sensors are great, the radar and onscreen display show the car, the distance, shape and location of objects with the radar.  Wow!The nav is smart.  The voice recognition isn't too bad and is actually pretty easy to use without practice.  Just remember to say "OPTIONS" for each menu you don't get.  You can say "radio, frequency select, 94.7" and it goes to my Rock station.  You can use it to skip all the I-drive functions, if you're good.This car so far the past 12 hours scores as follows:Looks: A-Handling: A+Ride: A+Power: A-Braking: B+I-Drive: BNav: A+Voice Recognition: B+Overall: A-Read more comments on this review, here: http://www.karljay.com/main/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=1258 http://mydrive.roadfly.com/blog/karl_garcia/1223/ We again took some pics at the Rennlist meet in Rockville for our group, FmotorSports.com... it was fun, some cool cars.

I think it's mostly concentration and being too nice and letting people pass more than worrying about lines.  But it's all good I saw improvement after each lap.  The times they give you are detailed, it's great!  I had a lot of fun.  We will have to have an Fmotorsports.com race day with prizes ;-)Thanks Bill for setting it up.  Nice meeting you Ken.  And GFlight for making it even with a baby and no grocery excuse like SirMordred hahaHere's the discussion thread:  http://www.karljay.com/main/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=836 http://mydrive.roadfly.com/blog/karl_garcia/972/
