I think ECF is the BIGGEST fiend. He sucks the brains and drinks the sauce. Was going to use a straw once.

Even with my summer wheels and tires, the car still handled exceptionally! I braked hard straight and through turns, accelerated hard and the car just kept going. Traction control only came on one time, but it still handled great.
Anyway, I took a few pix. I like the second one.

"...I braked hard straight and through turns, accelerated hard and the car just kept going. Traction control only came on one time, but it still handled great."-with all due respect-are you sure you did all of that in this weather and traction control came on one time and handling was great?

Funny though...another member who lives in my town with an 08 550 Sport said he was sliding all over the place. He has since purchased new snowies with new winter wheels. Anyway, I guess getting this xi wasn't such a bad choice afterall.

Rich - Move to Shanghai in February and come out to SF with me the week of January 7th. I'm meeting up with those guys one night and we're going to the CCH. You would love the meet and the dinner. Great bunch of guys out there. They're like my second family.

I didn't go. I threw my back out last week and have been working from home all week. Never threw my back out before. Boy does it hurt...and it's also a wake up call that I'm getting old.

We are like family and Calton's our adopted pet named "Sushi Roll". HAHHAHAHA LOL sorry...
Calton, why don't you order live crawfish from New Orleans, have them ship to you same day and host a huge cajun boil at your house for all the NYC area E60ers.
For my wife's baby shower a few years back, I ordered 80lbs and they shipped it same day via Southwest Air Cargo.
