You might be an X5 driver if you fear rainy days in case your vapor barriers or drains leak into the truck.

...If you lurk on this forum every single day for almost a year, but don't own one YET!

...If you get distracted during every conversation when you see an X5, even though you are an excellent multi-tasker.

...If you've heard all the horror stories about X5's but still want buy one.

You might be an X5 driver if you can't even remotely relate to someone who complains that their tires wore out in "only" 30,000 miles.

You might be an X5 driver if....

1) You never let the 2 kids strapped in the back seat prevent you from "red-lining" your highway entries.

2) You lie to your kid and tell him Daddy's car is just as fast as that Cayenne Turbo in the center lane

3) You flat-out refuse to let Jeep Grand Cherokees and Ford Explorers pass you...Ever...For any reason...

4) Range Rovers get a pass...but only if they signal first.

5) Nah, f&*k the Range Rovers, you won't let them pass either.

6) You blurt out to your boss that you will send him/her the report after you finish your post at X-Outpost.

7) Your boss asks you "what is X-Outpost".

8) You reply that it's sort of like porn....car porn...

You might be an X5 driver and member of Xoutpost.com if you think/do know more about your X5 than the mechanic you brought it to. And you cant wait to "tell" them what the problem is and how to fix it.

^^^best one yet!!!^^^ (thats me writen all over it!)

You...

-If most of your geezer buds, some of whom have zip interest in cars, think your 10 year old E53 is nearly new, and is the best looking 'suv' they have ever seen.
-If you are addicted to this site.

^ New #1 ! ^

This happend to me! When I got mine... the rumor mill at work was at full out-put capacity! Everyone thought I got a huge promotion! People thought it was new, or a left over!

That made any repairs in the future completely worth it! The gen public think my X5 looks like a $75K ride! I couldnt possibly ask for more then that!

Holy crap this is funny ! I found out 3 months after my 06 4.8iS with 55k on it rolled into the parking lot that my boss had been asked on several occasions how much I earned as " he bought that brand new big BMW" .

That is so awesome! You know.... In today's world,
a best case scenario will give you exactly what you paid for. Nothing more.

But my $17k BMW gives me the image that I have a $70k ride. I'll can't think of anything else that will give you more then what you paid for.
