Merry Christmas

From camel land, I hope everyone has a great Christmas this year and that you don't need any presents for the X5.

X5chemist will become famous soon enough
Feliz Navidad! Cold Christmas in history for some parts of USA! Definitely cold in Texas. We've been using the X5 if we go out. The heated seats work great. Being set up for summer, it does take a bit to warm up.

You too EOD!! Bitter cold here in the Northeast. 10 degrees this morning after 60 and pouring rain yesterday. Didn't feel like dealing with the frozen doors that the E53 are FAMOUS for and took the Lexus for my travels today. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to those that still allow us to say that!

Merry Christmas XO fam! Hope you and yours are together and healthy. Best wishes.

South Texas is thawing after it's 48 hour bout with 32F and lower temps. E53 sits inside, but the F15 had it's windshield washer fluid reservoir freeze up... Fingers crossed it didn't crack the tank. I'll find out later today if there is a puddle of fluid under the passenger fender.

Merry Christmas!

Single digits are nothing new here, but it is odd to have them before January and February when we normally get a couple inches of snow. Rolling power outages and decreased water supply due to broken mains around the city. My infirmed mother and unhealthy father will visit us instead of heading to their home with frozen pipes and no water. We have a boil water advisory.

BUT! We've made a standing rib roast for the very 1st time! She's sitting up, warming to medium rare and waiting for slices. We'll have a new fashioned celebration including my other's care-giver. It will be nice to have everyone here for my daughter's last Christmas before college.

My, my, my how things change and yet, with two N62's in the garage, how they stay the same!

Merry Christmas gents. 4 generations at our house so mayhem of all sorts has ensued. The 35d threw the wife for a loop with the "warming please wait".

You too! Spending it X5-less as we've escaped from DC to LA and are enjoying a very warm one.

I saw the earlier movie "Escape from L.A. (1996)", so when should we expect this prequel "Escape from DC to LA (2022-23 ???)".
