Well, I picked up the M3 this weekend from New Orleans (which felt great because it was 75\* out) and took a few pics along the way. Here they are. Somewhere between Albany and Orlando, or Orlando and New Orleans (iPhone pic): ![http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r146/CosseyOwns/M3%20and%20trip%20home/IMG_0440.jpg](http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r146/CosseyOwns/M3%20and%20trip%20home/IMG_0440.jpg) Flying into New Orleans… This is the longest bridge constructed over water, and the third longest overall in the world. I believe it was just over 23mi long. $3 toll to go across(iPhone pics): ![http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r146/CosseyOwns/M3%20and%20trip%20home/IMG_0442.jpg](http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r146/CosseyOwns/M3%20and%20trip%20home/IMG_0442.jpg) ![http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r146/CosseyOwns/M3%20and%20trip%20home/IMG_0443.jpg](http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r146/CosseyOwns/M3%20and%20trip%20home/IMG_0443.jpg) At a haji mart in Alabama somewhere. Yes, it was completely run and operated by mid-easterners. Surprised me a bit. At the checkout, I was cashed out by a 12 year old kid. They also had some bootleg rap CD’s as push items at the counter. This pic was in the multi-stall bathroom, and obviously the dispenser is over one stall, meaning if you were in the other stalls and needed a condom, you’d have to wait til that guy finished or reached over him (iPhone pic). ![http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r146/CosseyOwns/M3%20and%20trip%20home/IMG_0445.jpg](http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r146/CosseyOwns/M3%20and%20trip%20home/IMG_0445.jpg) Somewhere near Chattanooga, Tennessee. Had some of the local delicacy (Sonic) and that’s when I switched driving w/ my bro. Used the 7d with stupidly high ISO as I was just too tired to care. ![http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r146/CosseyOwns/M3%20and%20trip%20home/_MG_95791.jpg](http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r146/CosseyOwns/M3%20and%20trip%20home/_MG_95791.jpg) ![http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r146/CosseyOwns/M3%20and%20trip%20home/_MG_95831.jpg](http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r146/CosseyOwns/M3%20and%20trip%20home/_MG_95831.jpg) ![http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r146/CosseyOwns/M3%20and%20trip%20home/_MG_95841.jpg](http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r146/CosseyOwns/M3%20and%20trip%20home/_MG_95841.jpg) ![http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r146/CosseyOwns/M3%20and%20trip%20home/_MG_95861.jpg](http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r146/CosseyOwns/M3%20and%20trip%20home/_MG_95861.jpg) Outside of our hotel in Dublin, VA. They had a few inches of snow, so the M3 went drifting at some points (iPhone pic). ![http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r146/CosseyOwns/M3%20and%20trip%20home/IMG_0449.jpg](http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r146/CosseyOwns/M3%20and%20trip%20home/IMG_0449.jpg) In the morning, I brought the car to Bimmerworld where they’ll be putting a shit ton of parts on it and making it cool. I took a cab from Dublin to Roanoke, VA and then flew the rest of the way, stopping in Washington DC for a connection. To go from gate to gate, they gave you a ride in this vehicle. The driver sat where everyone else does, and literally drove into the building wall to let passengers on and off, similar to how a semi backs it’s trailer into the walls when at a cargo area (iPhone pic): ![http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r146/CosseyOwns/M3%20and%20trip%20home/IMG_0453.jpg](http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r146/CosseyOwns/M3%20and%20trip%20home/IMG_0453.jpg) And that’s it. ---
