I always think that either the BMW or the Audi's owners are the most aggressive drivers on the road. I am driving a Toyota:eyebrows:

we just have different ethics than Toyota drivers

What is the difference between a BMW and a porcupine?

The BMW has the prick inside, the porcupine has his price outside.

What is the difference between a Harley and a Hoover?

The Harley has a dirt bag hanging on it outside, the hoover has the dirt bag inside.

I find that Acura and BMW drivers are the biggest assholes on the road. It begs the question, do you have to be an asshole to buy one, or do you get asshole lessons when you do?

I think Peckrwood owns one of each

It is all in the demographics that buy the model and brand of car. When Saturn was around, you could find all sorts of people owning that brand, but it seemed to be pretty much a brand for women with a lot of old lady owners. A BMW 3 series demographic would be mostly men, 35-50, in the $75k-100 bracket. Many have the tude and something to prove. That is why they fly around the streets like jerks.

I was under the impression that 3 series/ C class/ A4 is only appropriate if you are under 30yo, and after 30 it's time to upgrade to 5 series/e class/a6.

I concur. Those are the two brands I've noticed to be driven by complete dickwads.

That is only true among the polo club folks.

I guess I don't help this study... 100k a year mid 20s BMW driver yay 3 series

 

[niveamen]

Yep. I'm a total asshole and douchebag.

However, an asian female driver in a corolla has to take the cake on the most annoying!

on a positive note, even they can be useful to BMW drivers if they are slowing you down and then you see the cops clocking the traffic

 

[punter]

I agree. 95% of BMW drivers are assholes. About 20% of Audi drivers are.

I drive an Audi, and I'm an asshole.

 

[niveamen]

I would have to disagree depending on where they did they study. If they did it in Markham / Richmond hill on a weekday afternoon they will find all the Asian BMW drivers are just upgraded Corolla drivers with too much money.

That joke works better when you just say "The porcupine has the pricks on the outside."

 

[Ceiling Cat]

It was a typo, OK!

May a porcupine crawl up your butt and to eat your prostate nut.

I purposely didnt buy a BMW due to the stigma...of my group of 4 buddies (all under 30...roughly 80-120K) 2 bought beemers...one bought a lexus...i went caddy....the 2 beemer drivers...drive like fools and i let them know it everytime...before they both had corollas and drove normally...the car changes u.....the line "settle down, you didn't buy an M3, you're embarassing yourself" works....

 

[mynameisearl11]

the opposite is true when you see drivers of the bmw 740il. These drivers are respectable drivers!
