Popping Center wheel caps
Don't know if this has happened to anyone else but on a run down to Palomar today, my front two wheels center wheel caps popped out ! 
And they literally popped ( quite a loud sound ).
I was on a run with some friends and we had just come off a very twisty stretch of road. Drove gently for a mile or two and pulled up at the side of the road. Everyone was talking about this corner and that corner, when all of a sudden we heard this popping sound. Didn't realise what it was until a friend noticed my front right wheels' center cap was missing, then the left front wheels cap popped ! This one was easy to find because it popped onto the road ( about 8 feet from the car). The right one popped off into some long grass and took some finding.
Moral of story - if you're gonna do some hard driving take out your center caps

LoL that's funny $hit. Wish I could've joined you but been quite busy as of late. I haven't ran Palomar in a long time. Have had too many close calls on that road.

All in all we had 7 cars, 2 540i, a M3, Porsche Boxster S, S2000 and a C32 AMG. Suffice to say the Evo kicked ***, albeit the S2000 certainly gave me a run for my money.
