I left out the first part of the journey. Friday when I was loading the X my driver's door handle failed. No biggie, I could roll down the window with the keyfob and open using the inside handle. When I was loading the car on Sunday morning, I cranked the X up to allow the inside to cool down some and when we went to leave, I realized that only one door was unlocked and yes, it was the non-working driver's door. So the X is sitting there running, AC on MAX, and I cannot get in!!! Called a locksmith who showed up within 30 minutes, spent 5 minutes getting in, and walked away with $70 (don't get me wrong, I was very grateful for his service - much cheaper than popping out a window).

Needless to say it was not a good day for the X...
