Good sir, are you in some way implying that the Corvette, America's sports car is unpatriotic?

Only a vile communist traitor would say such a thing.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

We should all feel bad for BMW owners, driven as they are by pompous narcissism fueled by their insecurity over being unable to afford the Porsche they really wanted.

If you attack a brand of cars for having rear end in a top hat owners, you are an rear end in a top hat. If ou defend a brand for having rear end in a top hat owners, you are also an rear end in a top hat.

Also, Carlin's wisdom tells us that said assholes can be divided roughly into two categories. Anyone driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone faster than you is a maniac.

Not around here - actually I'd say the Q7 has taken over from the X5 as the aggressive tailgaters vehicle of choice probably because it is even larger and more obnoxious and has a larger engine.

Audi drivers are generally not as loving obnoxious on the road, but they're also almost always complete fuckwits as people.

I'd say BMW drivers are second worst, with anyone in a Prius being the worst drivers on earth.

My wife is friends with this poor woman who is in the poorhouse because her dumbass husband insisted on buying an Audi A8 even though they didn't have a pot to piss in. Every extra penny they had went into this car even though they had a daughter to take care of. After literally wiping out their savings trying to keep the car going the tranny took a poo poo and it sat for over a year while they drove her Turbo Legacy wagon (that he picked out for her). Then a head gasket went on the Subaru (go figure) and they had to trade in two non running poo poo piles for a Hyundai SUV which I'm sure they got murdered on at the dealer.

Moral of the story is, don't buy Audis when you're on a fixed income and have a family to take care of. Unless you're a fuckwit like this guy is.

Truly we must be poors, bitter about our lot in life if we dare to criticize the demographic who purchase over-priced, poorly-engineered status symbols which impress nobody outside of the working class and tasteless nouveau riche.

A new BMW can be had for the same monthly payment as a Honda Accord, SUV or sedan, take your pick. M cars (Real ones mind you, not pleb models with an M package, which are becoming increasingly popular) remain somewhat exclusive but they are as representative of the lineup as a whole as the Corvette is of Chevy. Wealthy people don't drive a BMW, they drive whatever the gently caress they want. Sometimes that's a daily runabout BMW, sometimes it's a Honda, more often it's a Rolls or a Range Rover.

The market BMW (And Audi, and increasingly Mercedes Benz) does target is the petite-bourgeois. Old money isn't impressed by a 5-series and especially not a 3-series; those cars are in the same category as a Toyota: Cheap daily drivers. Rather, the brand whores snapping up BMWs on lease are the doctors who went to medical school for the social cachet, the McDonald's franchisees who fancy themselves captains of industry, and the perpetually image-obsessed salespersons.

BMW and Audi are the Tag Heuer and Breitling of the automotive world and if you don't get that reference you have no place speaking on the topic.

at least where I live (inland Northern California) the biggest assholes on the road are overmedicated soccer moms hauling their windowlicker kids around in some Denali XXXL and Affliction shirt wearing mouthbreathers in bro trucks. They see a BMW and they lose their loving minds in rage. :colbert:

I never tailgate, mostly obey the speedlimit and use those turn signal thingies, am closer to 50 then 20 years old and yet every time I look in my mirror there are 20 of those assholes named above weaving around like Tony Stewart after a 18 pack of Coors Light while dealing with a painful hemorrhoid.

In the SF bay area and most other urban areas, everyone drives like an rear end in a top hat, especially the Priussesss. gently caress you, got mine, gotta get in front at the turn signal.

Soccer moms are bad in anything.

But, I have to say, for some reason bro truck guys seem to look out for bikes and will get over for me when splitting. Meanwhile two days ago I almost got levelled, on purpose, by four different jackasses in BMWs. Two newer 3 series, and a 5 series.

So again, gently caress BMW drivers. It has not a goddamn thing to do with money and everything to do with lovely rear end people who feel entitled as gently caress. And most of them drive BMWs.
