hey what's up man, how's it going? I met you out in front of round table in Encinitas about a year ago, you still running those S8 wheels?

that's crazy about the X5. i wonder if it was one of those Hartge 5.0 liter conversions. did it look stock?

Default Those things are ridiculous. Imagine an SUV that you can't even get snow tires for...

What a joke. I can not understand why someone would pay $70K for something that does not handle nearly as well as a true sports sedan, and has less utility than a 3 series. There is almost zero storage space and the funniest thing is that you can't drive it on snow in the configuration it comes in. There are no snow tires that are even made for it. It basically offers the worst of both a truck and a car but none of the benefits or either.

Default I don't have to drive one. For $70K I'd get an M5 which would blow it away and....

I'd still have more room for groceries.

Default hey laser

whats up? no i got rid of the s8 rims about a year ago. too heavy and i had spacer troubles. as far as the x5 goes. yeah it looked stock. we were playing see who can rip the other guy off the line on the encionitas bvd from the 101 all the way to el camino. i think the guy had a death wish. homey would blast off the line. i figured i was going to kill someone by the time we hit the third light. that thing is fast though. didn't think they had so much power. cool looking car. for the money i'd get an rs6 peace. todd
