I had an X3 M Sport as a loaner not long ago and really enjoyed driving it. Great SUV!

I actually just randomly ran the VIN on the loaner I drove, and it's now for sale (as of four days ago). Looks like someone who used it as a loaner at some point must have crashed it though, as it doesn't have a clear Carfax...

Yes i know very well that type of people. And for some reason I get alot of jealousy with my age and the type of car I have from alot of people around those car meets.


Exactly. Do what you love

I've noticed that it really varies with any particular type of meet. There is a monthly Cars 'n Coffee that I'll go to because it is always a good time. The cars vary from pre-war classics, to muscle cars, classic European sports cars, and new exotics, so there is always something to see. The people there are very friendly and just love talking cars.

Then other meets I've been to there are people who seem only interested in displaying their wealth, listing bragging rights, or showing off in other immature ways. Those are the type of meets that paint enthusiasts in a bad light and I avoid completely now.
