Saw a disguised car today.

it was on the highway by my house, had black tape on the headlights, taillights and the emblums but it was kinda obvious it was a BMW (had a kidney grill). It was about the size of a Ford Escape. So i did some research and it seems to be this thing. It's called the X3



you don't see a camo'd car everyday so i thought it was pretty cool and i'd share.

i read in some truck magazine about that. and saw pics of what they look like when they are being transported. but the ones i saw had the stuff over the sides (not the windows). pretty interesting.

but what's the big deal if people see it? you would think it would attract more attention being all covered up than just looking normal

I saw three of those that were all blacked out two months ago or so. It was at about 8:15 am on my way to school. They look so damn serious with all black windows and all.

I saw a yellow Viper today... the driver was following a GMC suv... Well it's just been a while since I've seen one.

The BMW looks okay...

I didn't think they were dropping the X5 thou. I was under thie impression that this was just a smaller SUV built on the 3 series platform. the X5 is on the 5 series.
