As far as I know, there are two in the little town I live in ... and they're both in my garage. :-)

Hah. Well, I'm frequently told it looks like a drug dealer car (with the black on black and tinted windows), so I tend to take it slow and have my paperwork in order. :-)

Last thing I need is a speeding ticket going 115 in fricking Oklahoma!! In reality, I was in stop-and-go traffic in a podunk town when the picture was taken, with my son (ever the backseat driver) admonishing me to keep my eyes on the road and stop fiddling with my phone.

Probably good counsel, as much as I hate to admit it.

He's 15, so the verdict is still out. Nonetheless, it's the order of nature for 15 year old kids to be antagonizing their parents every chance they get, right? We think we're going to keep him, though. :-)

And, of course, there are a lot worse things for 15 year old guys to be into than chess these days. And the kiddo finished 1/2 point off of winning the US Junior Open. Aaargh .. so close. The battle continues.

Great job to your kid and keep up the good fight! Road trip with the young ones are precious bonding times with them.

Very envious you get to do it!

You'd think so, wouldn't you? I was already sneaking out in my parents' car and getting into mischief at that age.

He has driven our X5s a few times and definitely prefers them to the Honda Pilot that he'll be getting when the time comes, but largely is pretty uninterested in driving.

In talking to some other parents of teens, it seems like a lot of kids aren't that interested in it these days.

Nice to see an e53 make a road trip. Im in the Chicagoland area and did not spot you on the e53 radar . Nice to see the cooling system working good in that kind of heat too...
