What was your 1st car?

It feels a little hood rich driving around a $10k X5 when all your friends think it's worth $20k+; the abuse it takes with the short 5 mile drives to school and then turning the engine off before it is even warm also makes me feel bad for driving the vehicle in addition to other crazy high schoolers jumping in and out of the vehicle.

At least it is only 1 year for me with the X5. Once I'm done using it, I'll give it a nice detail, fill in all the paint chips and scratches and try and to fix all the mechanical issues that will spring up in the next 10 months.

Way to go, nice to see there are still smart responsible kids out there . My X is only doing short trips for the most part as well. I work 40 miles outside of town and will be taking it out at least once a week to warm up the engine and evaporate the moisture during the winter. Good excuse for a long road trip every other weekend.
