I've been trying to catch this 2001 BMW Z8 ever since I started going to Rhode Island for my summer vacation and I finally caught it driving on Thames Street on 7/20/2026. A car passing by on America's Cup Avenue in front of me actually stopped in traffic as to not block my shot of the Z8 going by on Thames Street. I feel like I would never find that level of kindness by a stranger back at home.
