How do you like the X5? Tell me about it...
Well, we've had it all for 1 day, but absolutely love it... I really wanted the v8-turbo, but with this being the wife's, felt it was best to go with the inline 6 twin turbo... Still has 300+ HP and tons of room inside... Very happy with this purchase!!! I get mine when I "pin-on" for my promotion in 18-24 months... Planning on a new '15 or '16 Vette convertible...

3 months later still waiting on the boday work to start. I was told this week it will get started. That's what I get when my friend is doing the work. Good thing I have a couple options to get me around

I talk about this one here

1975 Corvette - nothing stock

drive this one every day

2008 Hummer H3 Adventure Alpha (V8), lots of upgrades - air compressors, winch, etc (I also use it for search and rescue)

use this one for hauling

again, stock isn't something I do 1983 Chev diesel truck, banks turbo, 4" lift, 3/4 running gear with lockers, 3500 watt inverter, etc.

the wife's car

2001 BMW 325xi - my wife does SAR with her bloodhound, so she's got this one... it's not stock either, but mostly stock(ish)

I also have projects - but they're not yet drivers so they don't count

My new DD is a 2013 grand sport. 7 weeks and 3000 miles of fun.
I feel bad about neglecting the 72 convertable. I will make it up to her.
