Mfest IV was great. I had a great time the whole weekend. The only thing that sucked was the traffic heading back to So Cal from Vegas. I left Vegas at 2pm and didn't get back to the OC until 8:30. Boy am I tried from shifting back and forth from 1-2-1. But I guess it was all worth it. Great seeing so many BMWz out there.

I left at 11 and got back to Redondo at 4:15. That goddamn agriculture checkpoint slowed traffic for 10+ miles....PITA!!

i got owned by a shredded tire busted my foglight and bracket, stripped a few screws from my lip and scratched up passenger side doors. I was following the south bay autohauz e46 m3 and 135 and they ran it over too.

I had a great time, never seen so many M cars in one place. Thanks GTHAUS for the invite and thanks Chris for the award. It was fun seeing all those BMWs on the track.

+1 traffic was horrible. I hit up the shoulder for a good 3-5 miles, stopped and primm to gas up and the line at the gas station was insane. I left the M resort @ 3, hell I didnt get back to Huntington Beach until closer to 10... other than that I had a blast this weekend.

That's Yermo Rd. correct? It looked like it merged with the Agriculture checkpoint on Google maps anyways...that's why I didn't take it. Traffic was definitely moving on that road though!

Saw the traffic as we were driving on yermo rd. It was a quick ~10 min drive, which passed all that slow traffic. Merged back on the fwy right after the check point.
