4 cities in 4 days
1,750 miles flown
375 miles driven
3 hotels
3 crappy rental cars
5 hours of flight delays
lost luggage - twice!
Finally arrive at O'Hare and fire up the sweet sounds of the 550i, blast up the Tri-State tollway at 90mph with Bachmann Tuner Overdrive's Takin'Care of Business blaring on the SAT radio: priceless.
I was totally worn-out and mentally fried last night when I finally re-connected with my luggage again at the airport. But a spirited drive home in the 550i washed away all ills. I arrived home very much fully refreshed.
Is this a great car or what?

E60 has long been my tonic relief and escape from the daily grind. Many an evening have I left work somewhat dreary only to be instantly re-invigorated during the drive home in my E60. Tachyon you have got it right. priceless![i]

Yes, our cars are very great. I just want 440 HP (OK, I'll settle for 425 HP). I'm glad you survived your business trip and didn't get a ticket driving home.

My Ride: 2007 Titanium Gray 550i, with sport, nav, HUD, Logic7, sat radio, cold weather, rear side airbags, rear seat heaters, and it goes like a bat outta hell!
You know Tachyon.....I know just how you feel.....after a long, hard, frustrating day.....I love the drive home in my car....my only complaint is that my commute is only 2 miles!! And, since I have a heavy foot...those two miles go really fast!!
It is a great car, though......I don't know about you, but I feel very lucky to be driving it!!
