Nah, I quit posting on the svt boards for the simple fact of tooo many kids. My car runs real good....not the quickest in the world by far, but it runs well in the S197 crowd. Foxes are good drag cars, have had two in the day, an 85 GT and an 89 LX Coupe. I have a buddy here with a 93 GT mostly fiberglass running a 4.94 in the 1/8, that just blew up last week, aux fuel pump went out spraying a 300 shot and cooked it.....$30K down the drain, but it'll up and going again this weekend hopefully or the next. Another guy here has a 07 shelby turning 9.50s in the 1/4 and is street legal, running a KB and some other toys.

We mostly run up in dinwiddie va at VMP, we rent the track for the day and have a ball.

I agree that the x5 is more stylish but i dont care to look cool sitting on the side of the road. I did not buy a run of the mill trailblazer either. The tbss drives just as sporty as the x even in the corners. The main thing is that is what my wife wanted. She really likes the car so thats what I bought her. I would not have bought a regular tb. Just go to a chevy dealer and test drive one and then if you like flame away. I think they look really good on the exterior, where I agree the interior could use some style. The ss has different seats and a few other things. I really like the ls2 platform too btw.

LOL. That is all you had to say. That is how the X5 ended up in my garage in the first place.

same here on the x5. someone local bought our first one and she had to see it all the time. She pouted until I got her another one. She seems to really like the tbss though. Maybe just cause its new, who knows. I just like the power myself, Im not hard to please. I drive a dodge diesel everyday so anything is nice to me.

Does the tbss actaully handle as well. My friend has one and he even admit the only thing it is good for is in straight line... He said the cornering isnt as great. But they have loads of power.

It only has 600 miles on it. I havent really got to try it out yet. It feels like it has a good sporty tight suspension to it though. I never drove my X hard either though. I didnt buy it to race, we just thought it was a nice car with a lot of power. I agree that the leather prob. wont last as long and blah blah blah, but its all in how you treat something. If this thing starts falling apart then it will be gone too. I have a 93 cobra, yes a ford, and the leather in it is still in great shape and its 15 years old. If my X5 didnt spend more time in the shop than it did at home I would still have it.

Well I guess now is the time for me to show my stripes. I have lurked about this forum for some time now without introducing myself . I am not new to forums just new to the line of thinking that was expressed in a certain comment which I am going to address . But while I am on my soap box , I want to thank each and everyone of u guys that have done the fyi's and how to's ....you have saved my butt on numerous occasions.
Now to the meat .....I think this really represents whats wrong with our country and no im not going to play the polictical card but I could..... read on and see if u can connect the dots (so to speak.)
The qoute " W89coupe, I'm frankly embarrassed by the behavior of some on this forum. I realized many were just joking around (and there were some funnies!) but some of the comments were really out of context, overblown and meant to dig you and that just isn't right.

HMMMMMM ok
1. If you dont like your bimmer in the u.s U have the right to sell it !

2. Freedom of speech allows u to say ur Bimmer is sh%^ Freedom of speech also allows me to flame the he%% out of you if u choose to imply mine is also. (especially just because you are selling yours ...sour grapes)
3. And for the guy who is so apoligetic for some of our behavior "I stand by my earlier comment (which was tongue and cheek not what I really wanted to say) and I still think it is BAD FORM to say ,in exit, the stuff that was said. I really dont care if u dont approve of my behavior but I suspect ur the guy that is compensating for something with YOOOUUUURRR bimmer. Ive got my 2 because I wanted to drive a nice vechicle and i wanted my wife to also . You are probally the guy who trys to defend the guy who just raped a child by trying to convience us "it wasnt his fault" it was "how he was raised" . Im gonna suggest you try decaff ! Seek a physcologist for your compensation issues and go march in the sensitive american parade this weekend.

In closing I would like to say I can take as well as I give... so dont hold back...... please forgive the grammer mistakes and spelling as I was pushed for time ... just flame me for the thought process or message if
you must.
And I am proud to be in such a great forum as this U guys are the best !

There I said it !

I havent seen where it says you have to own a x5 to be a member here . How old are you anyway, just out of high school it seems with those stupid ass comments. You can block my post from you even being able to see them. Im not going anywhere!

Nah!! Try Masters Degree! but yes I do act immature quite often...kinda the way you did with this post! ..... I believe just as it was your opinion that "your X5's were pices of sh*t....wll then it is also your opinion that my comments were stupid ass comments! Hey...Stick around as looong as you would like!! We need members like you to hammer on when we are not modding the daylights out of our wonderful X5's....Which is few and far inbetween. I'll tell ya what SKIPPY.....lets take a poll on my comments.....I bet more people here agree with me rather than with you! How bout them appples!

Hey I hear on that Chevy you could do a really cool leather black bra MOD!! LOL!!

No point in figting it ...you pretty much lost this battle...!!

I ask you now not to respond to this......for this will be my last post of this pissing match!! If you should respond ...well it puts you right back to that out of highschool immature level that you were complimenting me on....

Balls in your court...Skippy! I would bet you respond..you can't resist! I'll give ya the "told ya so" now to save me from the post afterwards...!
