A sales guy came by, poked his head in and asked if I needed help or had questions on the car. I said "yeah, let me run home and find $130k under mattress so I can buy this". He laughed. He knew the car was for the few...

Lord and behold in 2017, I was sitting in my very own, gently used, unmolested lease returned '14 GC ZCP with an Akrapovic and $10k of dealer add-ons, and I've been in the honeymoon period ever since.
I have multiple 650s but still no M6 in the stable. I have my eye on only one build and I'm waiting for that to come back on sale.
