Thanks! That's funny!
You just made every male Lexus owner call their dealership's to check to see if what their customer number is!

I've recently had a disappointing snow/ice experience with the X5 and am trying to figure out if vehicle mass vs. DSC vs. AWD type vs. operator error contributed. The same situation would not have been a problem in my three prior Audi's.
The SH-AWD in the MDX sounds interesting. Please post any impressions you have about it.

Sorry to hear about your disappointing incident! I hope that nobody was hurt!
I can say that the best mod that we've made to our X5 is a set of run flat Blizzak winter/snow tires. It's a different animal now and has gone through everything that we've thrown at it! Just a thought and not only does it give you an extra sense of security, but it helps the truck to perform like it was designed to. My only fear now is that while ours can perform so well, someone without the advantage that we have will run into us because they can't stop or turn like we can!
