I seriously don't know how you do it.

I bought my X5, put 30k+ miles on it, and traded it in before you've even finished the world's slowest, most expensive customization project on an X5 3.0 ever.

Given the pace of things with you, you did choose the right motor. I'll give you that. You're definitely winning at 'not-in-a-hurry'.

Well, I gotta agree with you on the time its taken. "I'm sorry?"

... I'll get to it when I get to it. Maybe next week, maybe next month, maybe next year, maybe never. Maybe i'll saw the car in halfif I ever wake up and feel so inclined to do so. It's mine - I can do whatever i want. Family comfort/enjoyment, retirement and sons EDU come first.

In terms of engines, well, there was no turbo option or X5M back then. You know this. Could've gotten the Jaguar XF SC, or the X6, but there is no practicality in a husband/father/home owner owning a 4 seater. It's funny how quickly ppl forget that we were at the crust of a BAD ECONOMY and car manufacturers were making the most economical vehicles back then. Fact. How quickly things change. Now, everyone seems to be making something that gives you whiplash from one stoplight to the next. Next battle is probably going to be who makes the lightest vehicles. Still, I shrug my shoulders and drive along comfortably in my X5.

My tip to you: don't envy ballers. How many entertainers, actors or athletes have lot their millions because of "ballin"? Trust me, I've made it rain, bought out bars, smoked the highest grade (yeah you po-pos, that is PAST TENSE!), purchased a brand new home in ATL (cash), purchased this car, put 20% down on this FL house and spent another arm and leg on furnishing ... and the house is still kinda empty. lol Kinda taxed financially, not making what I used to, but thankful to be working and earning what I do ... and thankful that my wife has gotten back to her Financial Controller position. My lil man is healthy, but he needs a college education. My folks are getting older, my dad is retired, my sister if of little help, and land tax and insurance bills don't care. This car is a hobby. But there are more important things in life than a car hobby. these days, i'd rather play my XBOX or work around the house than give attention to the car. THAT'S what's up.

Best of luck to you and your family bro.
