Interesting Comment...post your thoughts

What's your opinion on this....I was talking with a guy the other day about random stuff and we got on cars. We'll he is a MB driver and goes on to say that he thinks most BMW drivers are aggressive and very arrogant individuals that lack sound judgement....especially when driving. Of course this guy didn't know I was a BMW driver. It took all I had in me to not rag on his nice SLK in the parking lot ......Phil

My answer to him, and anyone who thinks like him, will not be an opinion but the truth spoken as a suggestion. "DON'T BELIEVE EVRYTHING YOU THINK". end of conversation.

I ponder this question often. Most BMWs traveling 65 can stop faster and manuever better than most other vehicles traveling 10 miles an hour slower. My question is, in most cases who's really driving safer?

Growing up my Dad always said the same thing about BMW drivers, but then again he never owned a BMW. I think people forget that different cars have different abilities. Would you drive a minivan the same as an M3, I don't think so.

To them, I'm driving too fast, to me they're driving too slow... It's all about perception I guess.

You can ponder those questions if you like.
Fact is people will always think whatever the wish to think for whatever reason.
Does it matter? No!!
Will it change anything? NO!
Is it all about preception? You could say that but in the end it doesn't matter. Leave people to think what they wish.

There are stereotypes about the owner of every type of car.

I couldn't care less about what other people think of my ride.

Different strokes for different folks.
