So I walk into the dealership the other day and am approached my a salesman.

Me: "I'm looking for a nice e46 - what do you have for me?"

Salesperson: "Right this way sir - we keep all of our 5 series over here"

This guy had MANY sales awards.

The 80's was the turning point for "smaller" domestic cars going FWD. And when people see a small car that looks like it came from that time they think FWD.

[LivingLegend06]

My theory is that nearly all other cars are FWD. All of the American cars other the big land barges and the Mustangs, Camaro's, Firebirds, and Vetts, are pretty much fwd and you find very few Asian RWD. Most people think small car FWD. It just amazes me how little most people know about cars other than put gas in it and drive. I is getting to the point that you can hardly even find a car with a stick shift anymore. People are getting more lazy and stupid as the years go by.

That does make sense, but also think about this: the e30 was realeased in 1984 and back then just about everything was RWD. Toyotas were still RWD, most of America was still RWD, even fords minivan was RWD until the late 90s.

When I dont know I always assume that old car = Rwd (I always know though)

I NOSE! KAN EWE BALEEVE ITT?

I agree with you there all the way and i can only count on my fingers of how many people i know drive stick shift. Yet one of those people is a girl that i taught manual (and wanted to learn for a better drive) who drives an e30 :)

Anyone else seen those commercials where Budweiser is a LAGER now, and not a beer?
WTF? Can anyone explain this to me?

I was thinking the same thing... BeerAdvocate.com has a great section of beer style definitions:

American Macro Lager


Description:
Light bodied, pale, fizzy lagers made popular by the large macro-breweries of America after prohibition. Low bitterness, thin malts, and moderate alcohol. Focus is less on flavor and more on mass-production and consumption, cutting flavor and sometimes costs with adjunct cereal grains, like rice and corn.

I guess Budweiser falls into that category... Maybe the fermentation process of a lager suits itself better to mass production?

Hate poking fun at my own family, but I've tried to get my mom into an E36, and my bro into an E39. BOTH of them have said the same thing to me. "Do you KNOW how much it costs to fix a BMW?". Those who don't know, I own a BMW repair shop. So yeah, I know what they cost to fix. Mom drives a Jetta, and bro drives a new Altima. Ugghhh

Ugghhh

I got that a lot from my parents for awhile too. They changed their tune a bit when my bills for the same job were always exactly half of what it would be for their Toyotas. And this was before my tech days when I actually had to pay for labor and full price parts...
