Yeah, did grad school there. The mini xoutpost meet sounds cool though I will probably not be driving from Cali

BTW, on the topic itself, I do get occasional stares but no-one has approached me. As someone said, unless you are rolling in a Bugatti, Lambo, Ferrari etc., even Porsche's don't count out here in California, the topic is pretty much over.

We turned the head of a guy in a Porsche Cayenne Turbo about a month ago. More than a 90 pan as he drove by. Get out!

His was about the same color as my PG. Perhaps he was wishing he had such a stylin' car as mine .

I get compliments all the time, but then again, i'm in college. It's a rare car to see on campus, especially up here in the middle of nowhere. If you mod your car correctly i think you can get looks

same here although ours is bone stock, i get compliments and comments every single time I get out of my e70..most of the time due to my age (25)

generally ranging from:
-sweet ride! so what is it that you do exactly to afford a car like that?

my general response is something you don't want to know

-people staring wondering if its daddy's car.

and the best one from my friend..

"damn..i've always wanted one of them! when I have kids.."
go figure it was a girl whom said that..

You should have replied "We could make that happen"!

I've gotten a few comments on the X5 but nothing that stood out.

Now that is murdered out on 214s it does, now I have to decide if I want to paint the calipers bright green...

- today a couple guys in their 20s were staring at me at the train station as they were stopped in traffic
- last year another guy at the gas station asked me what year mine was as he checked it out
- other male SUV drivers do look once in a while, the women couldn't care less - and other E70 owners - sometimes I wonder if they even know if they're driving the same car, they just go on about their day.
- and I definitely still stare at it

Depends how much you do it up from stock as there are a ton out there already. I still don't even see that many with 214 wheels - definitely not even 1 in 10.

The biggest question I would get would be regarding the tires....people wanted to know why I put race tires on it. Those 87's wrapped in 315's were hella sweet......Phil

For looks I'd get a Range Rover Sport, or Porsche Cayenne.
