Ok, here's the dilemma. Would it be inappropriate for me to show up at the X5world meet in something other than an X5? Because that may be what happens with me. Here's why.
I have a contract pending on an Acura MDX that I am buying for my wife and the vehicle is down in the Miami area. Assuming the deal goes through, I will need to pick up the MDX at the end of the week. So what I am thinking of doing is flying down to Miami on Thursday and picking up the MDX; driving on Friday up to md's place in N. Carolina; and then driving on Saturday over to Juan's for the X5world festivities. Obviously I'll be in an MDX instead of my X5, but I just don't see a good way around this.
In case anyone is wondering "why an MDX and not another X5", the reason is that we really need a vehicle with 3rd row seating, and after 15 years of driving a minivan she refuses to get another one. And since the X7 isn't out yet, an MDX will have to suffice for now.
Regarding Sunday/Monday, if the factory tour is in fact canceled then I'll probably head back to Michigan on Sunday. Otherwise my plan is to go to the plant tour on Monday and then head back home.
Looking forward to seeing everyone in less than a week, even though I may be X5-challenged that weekend.
