BMW M5
Untitled

This is my dream car. Mine will be jet black. Grey leather seats. Paddle shifters. Heads-up-display. I rode in a 1988 (only a few years back) that had less than 40k on it. It was pristine. The owner, a great friend, is very particular about making sure his baby was in impeccable shape. He also was a very high end mechanic and would put it up on the lifts every week during the summer (when he drove it). That car was amazing. I want to feel the exhilaration of getting into my car each day. Yes, it’s definitely more of a ‘guy’ thing, but I want it, no doubt.

My mother is Latvian and we were never taught it growing up. Her brother’s children, my cousins, all were taught the language growing up, and when we visit them, they speak it often. One of them has offered to help me with it. But I got a book/cd set that will help me also. I would like to eventually visit there and maybe buy a home/apartment.
