So as you all well know, my beloved X is up for sale. Placed an add on CL and got a couple of hits. One of the hits wanted to "test drive" the vehicle. I didn't opposed to it because it is for sale. So he comes up to the town I work at (Armonk, NY) and we talk for a bit about the vehicle. He tells me that he has an '01, 3.0i and that he has had to rebuilt tranny twice. I sympathy with him and ask "why do you want another X5". Tells me that he just loves the vehicle. Pretty understandable, as I too love mine. So I show him the binder with all the receipts from everything I have ever done, bought, etc... We go out on a "test drive". I kid you guys not, I wanted to punch him in the fooking face. This asshole decides that he wants to do 80-90mph from a complete stop, then brake down to about 20 and start all over again back to 80-90mph. Now radio is off and I ask him "is this how you normally drive your vehicles?" and his reply is: "I am testing the transmission to see if its up to par". I say to him "if testing is what you want to do, not in my vehicle. You can always pay for a PPI and call it a day." Now he's upset because I said that and says "how do you expect people to buy your car if you cant test drive it?". I say "this ain't no mofucking test drive, this is reckless driving in MY vehicle. If you want to test drive I am fine with it, but not this fuckery you're doing." So we go back to my parking spot and he shakes my hand and says "I was going to make you an offer but I see you don't wanna sell". I just shook my head and left him standing there admiring what could have been his X.

End rant...
