The only glitch was the ECBM module that often goes haywire on Vettes; I got it R&R'd last winter at a Vette specialist indie in Ft Myers, FL. Other than oil changes, a set of tires, and fluids swapped last winter, it has been problem free. Still knocks off 30+ mpg on road trips, hauls 2 sets of golf clubs and soft luggage for a week trip, carves the BRPkway weekly, and just fookin runs. ~35k miles, and it may be the most fun/best car I've ever owned.

Nice X5... at 8 yrs and still looking good as the day you got it. Noticed its a stick-shift too. Was that an option?
Nice specimen of American V8 muscle too! Love the Vette rear pic. Shows what the other driver mostly sees. Its nice that NC does not require a front plate. Is "1USA" a custom plate?

Last5oh,
Yes, no front plate in NC! And, my "USA1" plate is a vanity plate and done via a "regional" plate program; in my case it was support the Blue Ridge Parkway. The colors and design are horrible and they have since gone to a slightly better looking regional plate for the BRPkway. It isn't the fastest car on the planet, but for the price and utility capabilities, and its never running out of breath in the 80s, 90s, 100s, it is a remarkable car. The 5 spd manual in our X, came only with the 3.0 and only sold in the hundreds for the few years it was offered. Then, the slightly better 6 spd was offered, (which also sold sparingly), and then discontinued with the E70. R8DX5: Hey Clint, good to read you! Thought you had hit the freakin lotto and left us! Thanks for all the kind words and views. BR, mD

MD,
That's one fine example of the fantastic E53. Bet you've had some fun with that manual box  As usual excellent pics in an excellent setting of an excellent car. Happy birthday, well done. PS: Love the Vette. Bernie

A Late Happy Birthday to my twin (except for the Manual T)
 You know, yesterday a friend passed by to pick me up in his new FX35 05... It surely looked futuristic much more than the E53, and it sounded sweet and is really fast... but when I was inside, I could unmistakably feel the Japanese typical ride... So I thought to myself: Hyundai and Kia sometimes make a design like space ships but do they compare to BMWs when it comes to the ride quality and driving experience? When I got home, I smiled and winked at my E53 as it sat there in the driveway with all it's robustness and agressivity
