BMW drivers really are jerks, studies find.

..and everyone misses the part about Prius drivers being bad. In my experience around town (and there is at least 4 on my block), Prius drivers are so up their own arse, they can't see anyone else.

I call them the silent killers, because you can't see 'em and they sneak up on pedestrians, cyclist, dogs..etc. There is a reason they have to have noise makers on them in other countries. And honestly, most of the people who drive them really don't care about their car, it's just a thing to get them from home to work (usually a school or government job) as cheaply as possible on gas while they can brag about saving the environment.

Finally! They think they have the moral high ground! Kills me.

why is there a cone on the race track lol

They keep them up in Turn 7 at PIR for races since it's got no braking markers to speak of. Well they kept them up that weekend until I had a tank slapper through 6 and came through 7 sideways on the outside..

[Thizzelle]

idk but I just slow roll stop signs all the time. I slow rolled a stop sign yesterday with a CHP across the way and a sheriff right behind me. Nothin happened, probably because I don't look like a thug. Sheriff was on my ass and I was going 5 over speed limit too WTF.

...wasn't there another study proving that Audi drivers are most likely to be unfaithful?

...and that everything you read on the internet is true?

Nobody screws with me while I am driving my bimmer, but then I don't drive it like an a-hole, and it looks like it does in my signature.

Which makes you wonder - would people drive differently if they had their names on the sides of their cars?

MAN, I am going to fucking throat punch the next person who tells me about this.

Everyone at work has gone one by one to tell me and laugh about it. I'm like really!? I drive a Rover anyways.

/rant.

No kidding. All of the articles i have read say "studies show" but have no links to said studies and one of the sources is the daily mail, a British tabloid.

But prius drivers are worst so we still win

[shaferbm]

Just says BMW drivers a pricks.

Not bad drivers.

VW and mini van drivers are hands down the worst. With wannabe ricer drivers being close second.

Toyota Camry, Corolla, and Prius drivers are the worst, easily. I commute to school 30 minutes every day and I get cut off completely unbeknownst to the driver by these cars more than anything else. They're airheads! If they're not sliding into your lane at 60, their painting their toenails and at 55 in the passing lane.

BMW drivers (usually) get BMW's because the like to drive and car about their cars, and thus drive accordingly. Save for those double parkers, maybe. Lets Stay out of that group r3v!

[Herr Faust Schinken]

I like to keep my car in/close to the power band and I don't like having to brake when I don't have to because it wastes gas... Fuck me, right?

R3v saving the world by not stopping for useless pedestrians

[e30saam]

sorry, yahoo. I actually like to drive my car instead of seeing it as an appliance ::coughtoyotapriuscough::

Old BMW and new BMW culture are nothing alike, I cannot see my self driving anything past an E30, coming from E9s and E12s... That study must have seen more newer crap like the Bangle specials...

SUV drivers often pushy narcissists

Oddly, just hours before my wife sent me the BMW drivers article (Thanks Dear!), I was reading this: SUV drivers often pushy narcissists:

[URL="http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/analysis/suv-drivers-often-pushy-narcissists-219525741.html"]
Article says "Drivers of SUVs are much more apt to be impatient, involved in accidents caused by impatience, speed in suburbs and school zones, engage in angry tailgating, and yell, swear and gesture rudely to other drivers, the Australian statistics show.

Curiously, preliminary information also suggests drivers of black cars tend to have aggressive personalities"

My DD is black, my '86 E30 is not black.
Should I buy a black X3 and let my personality out?

e30 drivers are a very small subset of the overall bmw driver population.

When e30s were new, i remember thinking that any male driving one was obviously a yuppy prick. These days, i think of most e30 drivers as discriminating and intelligent.
