I got my reminder email from BMW today. The Ultimate Drive? for Susan G. Komen for the Cure is coming to town again this year. The Drive will be in Augusta on Thursday, March 15th and I’m thinking we will be taking a 1/2 day off from work to go over to there to participate. They always have refreshments and most times local food places will have donated lunch of some kind. You can drive any or all (if you have the time) of the different cars in BMW’s lineup and BMW will donate a buck a mile traveled to help fight breast cancer. You need to do this. Go to the site and sign up. Don’t even finish reading this post, go NOW.
Unlike last year, for 2007, they have a route map on the site so you can see where they will be on any given day. This makes it easy to find other locations close by in case you want to do it more than once. Two weeks after Augusta, they will be in Columbia, SC which is not too much further away (60 miles), but it is another Thursday. But they will be around the area on a couple of Saturdays, Macon, GA (140 miles) on the 10th and in Greenville, SC (110 miles) on the 17th. Might be nice to go somewhere else and drive too.
Until then, to quell (or maybe increase) your excitement, you can read about last year’s fun here and look at the peektures here.

Oh this makes me so sad. When I’m driving and some jerk zooms by, cutting into traffic, or making someone do something drastic to avoid dying, I think “Must be a BMW” and I’m right 8 out of 10 times. Fight the dark side! (My mom died of breast cancer so I’m totally down with fighting that dark side too but there MUST be a better way.)
If you read any of my postings about the three times I’ve done this, you’ll know that unfortunately I am weak minded and easily seduced by the “Energie der Kraft.” It must be something that is piped in via the air conditioner or something, just driving a vehicle made by the Bavarian Motor Works turn meek and mild mannered individuals into elitist snobs on a power trip.
