Yes, possibly.

It is just that when I look at a car being towed (particularly if it is being towed carelessly, or being dragged down the street) I don`t think much about the city employees not caring. I tend to think more about the owner not caring about his vehicle, and putting it in a situation where this was likely to happen. I guess if you do live in NY, and this is a well known result, then it is pretty much down to the X5 driver as to whether you give them reason to tow you.

Rain

You drive faster than everyone in the rain. My x doesn't flinch going 75 in a storm. With white knuckles and caution of course

....if you don't care the weather forecast calls for rain the next day.....you still wash it to a spankin shine.
....you just put those 315 tires last summer, and already know which you will buy next if you need to.
...for those in the city, park your car and hope when you come back no one has scratch it or bump into it while parking.

you must be a X5 driver if parking 9 feet from a fire hydrant gives those a$$ the rights or reason to F your X5 up. --- thanks JCL for the enlightenment. now back to the topic -- you must be a X5 driver if you cant think of a better SAV to buy-- if you decide to sell you X

.... If for months/years you keep adding water and coolant to your car and when your friend asks "why are you always doing that?" you say "it's just a leaky valley pan gasket, no big deal".

.... Your tires are bald

.... You've been commuting your Hybrid all week and Friday night you get in your X, step on the pedal and accidentally jerk everyone in the car.
