WE came home from dinner last evening driving in the rain and i'm just doing my normal thang hittin it 75-80 and the CEO turns and ask (forgot the exact question) Is it safer to drive the X5 in this weather? I had to think for a minute and answered with a yes explaining that with AWD there's a lot more control and there are built in safety features which can help. I guess she was white knuckleing it as i passed cars that didn't seem to know what they were doing. And in all honesty i know how transplant California drivers lose their minds at the first rain so i try to get away from all of them ASAP. But we continued the discussion talking about BMW's as we headed home. Still it was a reminder that i do drive the X5 like it's impervious to peril. Perhaps not the smartest move but that X machine sure does give one some serious confidence.

And, we have the old fashioned '01 AWD, not X Drive.

There is no current suv-type car I'd rather drive through a storm or in all day, all night rain.
