Road Trip out East
After a little over a year with the X5, finally got a chance to stretch its legs (much needed too, severely under-miles on the lease... thanks covid). Overall I'm thoroughly impressed with it, and that's saying a lot because I tend to be critical about things in general. I'm really hard-pressed to find faults.
My impressions on my first road trip with the G05:
I'm currently at my destination so I'll have more pictures whenever we head back home.

Coincidentally, Chicago's first snow of the season marked the start of our trip.

Most of the trip was through rain, but at least we got nice fall colors to enjoy looking at regardless of how gloomy the weather was.
As a side note, don't worry, I wasn't cruising in the left lane. Both of these were during passing.

Deep Creek Lake in Maryland was our stop for the night and the views were incredible.

Finally on to the twisties and our final leg of the journey before reaching the destination. At this point the car's in desperate need of a wash.

Thanks @wtwo3! About to make a similar trip from Nebraska to Tennessee - one thing I did like about my previous Q7 was what a great highway cruiser it was (setting aside the negatives of in-town throttle response, Nav and overall handling). Hoping for the same from the G05.

We had actually planned to drive through Shenandoah National Park on Skyline drive, but my daughter began feeling nauseous and carsick just getting to the park so we ended up scrapping that plan and drove straight to our destination.
