I’m very open with them and I think they are probably more open with me than typical teenagers.
Excellent!

The temp was pushing 80 yesterday so the 997 came out and added nearly 50 miles to it.

The dam in the background is on the Tennessee River (Fort Loudon Lake on the other side). Formerly there was a vehicle bridge that went directly across the top of it but after 9/11 government mandates stipulated that had to change or so I have been told.

Edit: Added a recent pic of the X5. Desperately needs a thorough bath.

That is a great looking X5, I am not that familiar with them but is that an m sport or some type of sport model ? It has a really nice stance … staggered wheels ?
