But that's just me.
for # 3, you just answered your question.

Um the thread should be added to the previous idiot thread elsewhere in the lounge I drive my X5 because I like it, so you wouldn't drive it if you we're in our places, who really care anyways? I sure don't! I love my x5 (It IS my second x5) and I don't see anything wrong with owning one, I guess I fail to understand the point of this thread? I'm not being trying to be rude, it just does not make sense to me?

Ryan stated the truth, I'm just adding the exclamation point. File this thread in the irrelevant folder.

Ryan its your way or the highway?

I would think a liberal lad like you would be more open minded?

I just fail to understand why you would ask that, It seems as if your trying to start something, its just worded a little negatively. People purchase cars for tons of reasons and its been disussed many times before here, thats why I said what I said

I bought it because:
a) I ski
b) I like to sit up high
c) I can haul stuff in the back and put down the seats
d) I can tow with it:


and e) I can also chase down mediocre drivers in an M5 at Thunderhill with my tow vehicle..
