Yeah, they have the nerve to drive cars you can only dream of affording. What assholes! ![]() |
Nope! I could buy half a dozen new beamers with cash right on hand. But thanks for confirming the BMW driver stereotype as a buncha insecure pricks ![]() |
So for those who actually like driving, what car would you recommend that is manual, rear wheel drive, handles well, good brakes, comfortable interior that isn't a jerks car? |
Porsche Cayenne: I had to own something with a Porsche badge no matter what and couldn't be deterred by the fact that this car is absolutely hideous. Look at me, I have a Porsche!
Lincoln or Mercury SUV: I cannot afford a Range Rover Kia: I am too cheap or stupid to buy a Honda or Toyota Cadillac Escalade: I'm a pimp, a drug dealer, or a soccer mom who thinks four feet from the curb is a good parallel parking job BMW X5: I'm a social climbing asshole who knows nothing about cars because I want to pay triple digit oil changes for an SUV that has the same sport and off-road capabilities as a UPS truck Audi: I bought this car in hopes that its looks and cache could fool you into thinking I'm a good driver as I go 25 mph on a Beltway on-ramp Buick/Oldsmobile: I am over 75 or inherited this thing from someone who was |

Wow, you and I have very different perceptions of cars. |
Prius: slow ass drivers! |
I tend to think the slowest drivers are Corolla drivers. |
At first I was going to shout "racist," but we are discussing stereotypes & this is my perception too! Hyundai Sonata-Someone who wants to look like a baller but realistically cannot afford to. |
I'm a Prius driver (early 30's mom) and I drive slowly, mostly out of spite. I can't stand it when people ride my @ss. So instead of speeding up, I gradually let my foot off the gas and let the person behind me suffer. So Prius driver = self righteous a-hole? Yes. |
You should hear what BMW mechanics say about them. Clue: don't buy one. |
Civic-driving college professor here. I value reliability and reasonable pricing over flash. |
I'm in NE. Maybe it more of a WOTP/EOTP difference than a suburb/city one. |
It could be WOTP/EOTP. There are seemingly zillions of Mazda 5 and Foresters in Capitol Hill (I know, I know, some don't think of the Hill as really EOTP). Lots of Odyssey and Sienna minivans too. On the higher end - Acura MDX and Lexus RXs, and recently the NX crossovers. I'm a city mom who drives a Lexus. |
