Well I hate most Prius drivers so it balances out. All smug in their quiet little car, I see them trying to run over me while I am getting gas. Stupid Prius, not making any noise moving under 5MPH. Those things need an X-pipe and a Dinan Exhaust!

Prius drivers are too busy trying to find a tractor trailer to draft behind and get a few more mpgs to worry about us BMW drivers.

I don't like staying behind Priuii. Their smug emissions are off the charts.

Plus, they're downright dangerous whenever I ride my bicycle because they creep up behind without any noise. I've had many incidents where I nearly biked into a Prius because the electric motor was not making any sound. This is even more dangerous for the Prius driver because he/she could be seriously injured in a collision with a bike.

The cops in TR don't like them either. He nabbed the one I was passing several months ago rather than slamming me with a big donation to the State of South Carolina.

Maybe I'll try that on the ME tag that looks like the SC one... They turned me down for RELEE... something about inciting language.

During my first few months in my first brand new BMW I thought I was a target in a couple incidents but really in the last year I haven't noticed being sought out in any way. To be honest, there really are a ton of BMWs, old and new... if anything I am also noticing a LOT of white late-model BMWs. I never noticed this before I got one. Well, actually I noticed a lot of silver. ;)

Be the bigger person. This crap is just irrelevant. :p:

Taking Knuckles to the Doc the other morning in the Exploder. On a side street, the pokey truck in front of me pulls over and slows even MORE. It apppears that he is parking in front of the house. I move to the left and am about to acclerate in order to get past him, when he whips back into the lane in front of me. He is gesturing, yelling and looking in his mirrors at me. I gesture back, tell him to GFhimself.

At the stop sign, he is still loooking at me in his mirrors and saying things to me. He looks like he is about to get out and confront me!! :yikes:

I just say the word, "PARK!" Knuckles stands and looks out the front windshield. Situation avoided. :thumbup: (he is handy to have around once in a while) If he wouldn't have been in the car, it would have been me and a gardener going at it with whatever weapons ;) we had available. Who needs that?

Bottom Line:
I should have not gestured to him. What's it really matter to me if he yells and gestures. Who really cares. In the scope of life and your :popcorn:day, just throttle back, relax and keep on movin' on.
