That's about how I felt. My thinking when I saw the slope to impact - "Bad idea bad idea bad idea... dumb."

This morning's E53 off-road YouTube browsing led me to a few conclusions:
1) Eastern Europe is full of people doing dumb stuff
2) The E53 is not a Land Rover competitor
3) It's surprisingly capable for what it is

So no real surprises. :D

The best thing to ever happen to the internet was to give russians cameras.

Oh, just paid off the X5 today. It may be a money-pit... but now it's MY money pit. ;)

Congrats! As of today I've put more into repairs than it's purchase price - in four months no less. :wow:

Being cold with no garage and lazy, I had my mechanic replace the mechanism.
