That's about how I felt. My thinking when I saw the slope to impact - "Bad idea bad idea bad idea... dumb."

This morning's E53 off-road YouTube browsing led me to a few conclusions:
1) Eastern Europe is full of people doing dumb stuff
2) The E53 is not a Land Rover competitor
3) It's surprisingly capable for what it is

So no real surprises.

The best thing to ever happen to the internet was to give russians cameras.

Especially dash cams.

Oh, just paid off the X5 today. It may be a money-pit... but now it's MY money pit.

Congrats! As of today I've put more into repairs than it's purchase price - in four months no less.

Wow. This is very appropriate. My son turned 17 on Tuesday his nickname is Rooster and I gave him the silver 4.4 X5. That being said on Wednesday with the door frozen and I hadn't treated the rubber yet with the gummi pflege he yanked on the passenger door and the handle carrier broke.

Being cold with no garage and lazy, I had my mechanic replace the mechanism.
