As I said.... "around here". Here is Rochester NY where it seems almost
every M-B, Audi, or BMW has a car phone and is driven by a class-seeker
rather than an enthusiast. There's vitually no M3's around and damn few
911 etc. The "true enthusiasts", if there is such a thing, tend to drive
older cars that they cherish and enjoy. So for THIS AREA, I stand by my
original comment.
