Yes! I remember a friend from college telling me she was going to buy a 300 series BMW. I told her she should just spend the same about of money and get a completely loaded Accord. |
AMEN! Live and let live! Although I have to laugh when I see a Bentlet on the road. |

Are you calling a Hummer a "proper tool"? There's something about a Hummer that is a proper tool. |
My BIL went around during that storm in an old pickup truck and pulled people out and drove them home. Perhaps the point is that if you're truly interested in a utilitarian vehicle that will handle well in the heaviest of snow, it's not necessary to buy and drive a Hummer the other 364 days of the year. |
+3. And spending more money than necessary on a car in order to convey your status, that is douche-y. |
| Hummers and Escalades. So embarrassing. |

BMW commercial running constantly in new NFL season compels me to revive this thread. Guy in red BMW approaches big home, car reads him email telling him MIL is visiting, guy drives off despite angry message from wife. Ok so this is a car brand that is openly catering to the asshole set!
Plus could that plot be any more hackneyed. I guess you at least have the defense that asshole is not exactly same as douche. But close enough. BMW for the douche win. Again. |
Best Thread EVER. I guffawed for days. |
| Suburbans. |
| Not sure, but most douche-y person award goes to anyone who puts thought into this topic! |
| The ubitiquous black Mercedes suv that is virtually mandatory in the.private school country club set. |
Like the M class? I think the G wagon takes the cake. On one hand it's an awesome car: a true hand built vehicle that's legit for offroading (unlike many so-called SUVs) and the last Mercedes built to a high quality standard like the older sedans and diesels they used to make. However, there's something about the type of person who would pay over $100k MSRP for a big black square box on huge rims. I'd probably still buy one if I had the cash.

| Truck drivers. Mostly rams, the ones that are not using trucks for business |
| Mustangs with the three-stage turn signal. Really? One blink is good enough for the rest of us. You have to tell me three times? |
