It's been six months!!
Six months ago today I stumbled across xoutpost.com while searching for information regarding my messed up fuel gauge sensor. I couldn’t believe my eyes; I had found an entire website dedicated to the X5 with thousands of members who loved their X just as much as I did! I was so amazed at how active the message boards were…you could post a question, and within seconds someone would respond with exactly what you needed! I quickly learned that xoutpost.com is the Google of BMW SAVs! So I hurried and posted my first thread and apparently received the largest welcome in X5world history. Over the next few weeks I’d ask a simple question and get pages and pages of replies. Some members would just make a post like this in my threads! However, there were some who got a little upset with the attention I received, and I even received some PMs asking to post certain questions in order to get a quick response; apparently they didn’t receive any replies when they posted the same question. I soon found out that this site has a local celebrity, JV (formerly known as JVZ104), but I never got to listen to his radio show. Then my girl, cmyx5go, came along! She had been lurking in the shadows for many months, and decided to join in all of the chatter once she saw another girl on the board. I thought SuperGreg was really this guy for the first few weeks and was scared to death! I still have nightmares about that unibrow. I quickly learned to look forward to Wednesdays and Fridays. Tuesdays were very funny for a while, but apparently not worth the effort. The meet in DC was awesome! Putting faces with screen names and online personalities...it felt like we had known each other for years. I’m ready for the next one!

I just wanted to let you guys know that in the short time I’ve been a member here, you have become like family to me! I have become very close with a handful of you who I consider to be my closest friends (you know who you are). I cannot wait to meet more of you…especially the West Coast crew (get that freaking WFIV planned already!)

Alright, I’m off to check out Freak Friday, because that’s what Fridays are all about!

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Love,
~Michelle~

(Special thanks to SuperGreg for my new avatar...it’s hawt, isn’t it!)

Mich -
My sentiments exactly. Funny, I came across your first thread a while back and was laughing my ass off. This is one cool place to hang. The anniversary of my join date was earlier this month, but you are correct, I lurked in the shadows for about 6 months until I had a segue to chime in, and that was you. THANK YOU! I thought it was a boys club and wasn't sure how I would be received. Jeez, I should have posted long ago. I also thought unibrow man was SG BTW - count is up to 662 - AutoXer must be clicking away again to see if I actually have a custom X page yet.

Congrats on your half year anniversary. - NICE ASS!

Happy Freaky Friday everyone!

Come on west coast boys. I need to see customers in the Bay area and in Corona. I was holding out to schedule my trip in order to make WFIV. You keep dragging your asses, I'm just going to book my trip and see if we can do two mini meets for dinner at least. I NEED A TRIP!

I found the site before I even got my X and after talking to the people on here I knew it would be the right decision.

Michelle (and Laura),

I for one am so glad you stumbled upon us. And you are right, as odd as it sounds, many of the people here have become very close friends. And someone you can not only laugh and share good times with, but also true friends that would give you the shirt off their back to help you in times of need. What more can you ask for!!

Happy 6 month anniversary!! And the new avatar is OUTSTANDING!!

Jeff

Happy 6 months.

Well, happy anniversary. I'll agree with everyone else, that avatar is HOT! This place definitely wouldn't be the same without you, not sure for the better or worse, but still not the same.
