Caumsett nature preserve in Lloyd harbor. North of Huntington and cold spring area. Beautiful drive heading up there and a nice park to ride around. There’s one big loop that is abt 2 miles and change I think. There also another path you can bike/hike down to the north shore of Long Island. It’s very peaceful on a weekday. On a weekend a lot more people.

My close friend owns a Ford Expedition max (which I assume is similar in size) the x3m looks like a little toy car next to it...It’s almost comical

I just don't get it with Americans, which I am, and their love for ginormous SUVs. Escalade, etc.... The X5 was too big for my European tastes. The X7 was comfy but ridiculous IMHO. Granted, both had a much better sound system that did its damnest to lull ne into complacency. Sorry, but the X3 is the goldilocks size for me. I love it!

Looks great! Hmm, my Spidey senses tell me that is not a factory ride height! (call in the warranty police). But seriously, MSS or H&R? Impressions? I run MSS for the record.

Your spidey senses are right lol. I'm running H&R springs. Put on them roughly 400 miles since I got them installed last week and must I say what a difference compared to stock suspension in a good way. Adding 12mm spacers all around helped as well since she drives totally different. I love how she drives.

Jiovanny, you have the nicest Toronto Red X3 I’ve seen so far. Great job with the black/red contrast! Simple and effective.
