Another M2 in the wild (SF)

pardon the crappy angle and lack of more content but i feel really awkward taking pictures of anything in public. i was so excited to have finally seen a test mule in person! this particular one was crossing Market St. off Post St. in San Francisco.

the car, despite the camouflage, has a lot of visual presence, thanks to the flared fenders and more aggressive stance overall. none of the pictures i've seen so far (including my own) did proper justice to it.

it's a free country... why would you feel awkward taking photos in public?
oops... well I guess the driver was in the car... but still should have gone up and said hello like the fellow at laguna! (hayes180)

That's pretty cool that our own members are seeing the cars out in the wild. The car looks really aggressive in your pics.

Did you get to hear it taking off?

i did, but he didn't rev it at all so it didn't sound very distinct, especially when mixed in with the incessant rumble of what's probably the busiest street in SF :\

upon seeing it, it just really hit me that this car is going to become a reality. similar to 1M Coupe, i can only imagine the amount of ear-to-ear smiles it's going to generate to those lucky ones sitting behind its wheel.

nope, the driver was already giving me annoyed/angry looks as it was. in hindsight though, i should have been more aggressive, sort of how i feel each time i don't approach a cute girl in a bar...

Yep.
Like the M4, you can option for a moon roof if you don't want the carbon fiber roof.
I cannot match this mule with any I've seen so far. But then again, my eyes aren't all that great.

You also couldn't get an automatic gearbox on the 1m, but you can on m2

I still don't think there will be a cf roof though

Exactly. If we like the car now, we might faint when they finally unveil it. And the car is right now mostly black, which is by far my last choice. I cannot wait! This thing looks mean, especially in the last pic.

+1 it is looking better as we get more shots of it up close.

I commend you for doing the right thing- if you saw the driver getting annoyed then you hold back...that's the classy thing to do. Still, great pics.

The guy drives a mule to the busiest intersection in SF and then gets upset over pics??? We've all had to wait nearly 2 years for this thing, that dude can wait another 15-30 seconds.

Thanks for pics. Everyone in the group is very appreciative. As am I.

That's part of the show, it's called acting. Otherwise they would never release a single pic like Ford GT.
