On one of the local hiking trails ... two to four inches, I think.

From earlier today. Just put my snows on. 8 months, 13k miles. Desperately needs a bath, but it's frigid out and snow is in the forecast so it'll have to wait a bit longer.

Wow. I am at 2 years, and under 11k miles. Where are you driving to?

I live in central CT which I find to be quite dull. Lots of weekend trips... Boston and Providence quite a bit plus occasional trips to NYC, Maine, etc.

That's their '09 X3, they've had it since new.

[rant]While I was in RI I went with my dad to return their '11 E90... replacement F30 335xi is on the boat and due right after Christmas. My dad started talking to the dealer about how many cars he had purchased from them in the past 15 years and how they blew the sale this time (I ended up getting them a much better deal from another former coworker at a different dealer). 2 X3s, 3 MINIs, and 5 3ers. And I worked there for 7 years. Just goes to show you that at the end of the day they don't give a shit about loyalty. [/rant]

My parents left their local center last December after 25+ years & 15+ BMWs. They are very pleased with the sale/service experience at the other center which btw is 90 miles away from their home.
