Great trip with my dad to take my Firebird engine to a rebuilder in Tulsa even though the E53 wound up on a flatbed with 4 ignition coil failures. We still had a good time "surviving" the event and making our way back home.
The tow was quite the spectacle with the trailer hanging off the back of the flatbed.

Nice! Went through a stage where the x on a flatbed was a somewhat common sight. Have my local towing guy on speed dial.
I’d have to say teaching my kids to drive in the x5 is a great memory. And watching them bomb around town in it for quite a few years. Other than the insane leaks during that time from the old motor, she was a tank for them. Until the tranny gave up the ghost on my younger daughter.
Fortunately she wasn’t too far from home. It had been slipping for years but was ok in sport mode, until it wasn’t. She skipped limp home mode and went right to dribble off the side of the road in paperweight mode.
