I'd be lying if I said the thought hadn't occurred to me once or twice since it went on sale. Just to do it.

The feeling passed. Quickly.

I have two friends, both car nuts, and they both love them as well. Last time I talked to friend #1 he had 12,000-ish miles on it and had used less than two tanks of fuel.

I try to ignore Eric's facebook updates.

Truth is, in an objective sense, it's nearly ideal for me...particularly in an attractive lease.

(I didn't need to see that, lemming )

The CPO warranty on my X3 expires next spring. Have started to think about a replacement. Saw a Prius V 5 on the road and liked the look of it even though it was in a color dislike. Started playing around with the X3 configuration tool last night. Sigh...
