Hey! Not all! My wife drives a BMW X3 XDrive M40i and, although she can be a dickhead - as we all can! - she's far from arrogant.

There's dicks in Mercs...in Fords...in Fiat's.....and also in Police cars too!

@SammyJo Yep, I agree :)

My question is why are people so angry and entitled on the roads?

Most times I can't drive without being tailgated. Now I'm not talking about highways, I'm talking about a 35 or 45mph road. What's the hurry? I was taught when I began driving that speed kills. I guess no one cares about that fact but still feel like they have to do 55-60+ on these roads with lower posted speeds.

And the police are nowhere anymore. I see vehicles with headlights out, running yield signs, running stop signs and running red lights.

What I would say to these dangerous drivers, relax. There's no reason to drive an inch from my bumper because I'm not going to go any faster, in fact I will drive slower because now you are impacting both my safety and yours on the road. It's no different than being licensed to drive fork lift with an employer. If you violate the rules with fork lift, you lose the license, it should be no different with a vehicle on public roads in my opinion.

Maryland got smart and put up speed cameras and stop sign cameras.

@FreddieUK One way to discipline your own driving, I suppose! :)

Lol .. I know some real doozies driving Fords and Hondas too .. but the status car crowd does tend to attract a particular type at a higher rate. 😁
Nimbus · M
@BrandNewMan There ya go, you know what I mean ;)
BrandNewMan · 61-69, M
@Nimbus Yeah .. but not all.

My son bought an older BMW for a project car for SCCA racing events. Durable, easy to swap out parts, etc made the E36 M3 series a good fit in his budget.

His daily is a 2016 GMC 2500 Diesel and he listens to old school country music. Go figure. 😎

My friend bought a BMW (red of course) a few months after she got hired where we both worked. It was a 7-year loan for that car, I didn’t even know they gave 7-year loans for cars back then. Anyway every single day she would work that car into conversations, she was so damned proud of it. And this went on for years and years. Right after it was paid off her husband came home and drove it somewhere. It started sleeting and someone ran into it. The insurance company totaled it and gave them about half of what it was worth. Then she bought a Mercedes. Her entire wages for that job went to pay for those cars and the insurance and tags etc. She worked a second part time at night to have “pocket” money. I just don’t understand some people. She could have bought Toyotas and not been so squeezed in her budget. And not been a ticket-magnet for the cops.

@cherokeepatti Wow, she must have been in love with those! :)
cherokeepatti · 70-79, F
@Nimbus She should have married them the way she talked about them. Geez. Never heard anyone else do that about their vehicles. And basically she was a slave to those cars. Babied them too. Always putting something fancy inside or whatever.

Hmph...!

Nimbus · M
@eyeno You're not fooling me, guilty! 😝
Jexie · 26-30, F
Because it's a BMW babyyyy!
Nimbus · M
@Jexie Exactly the response 😛
My cousin- driving to Devizes at his speed took an hour when it should have been over double that!

My brother in law- bit robotronic and overly formal even though he has known my family for a good couple of years.

My experience 🤷
Nimbus · M
@BritishFailedAesthetic Sounds as if they are both at extremes.
And pretty much anyone who ownes a luxury car is
Nimbus · M
@cherny Mmmmh, maybe!
FreddieUK · 70-79, M
I know a couple who aren't. But they still haven't found the stick which controls the direction indicators.
Nimbus · M
@FreddieUK I know the feeling ;)
ArishMell · 70-79, M
It's not the make of car. It's more that a lot of the people who buy very expensive cars are arrogant.

I wonder if this is more so if they have made their money from some relatively low-skilled, quick-buck trade like money-selling. Those who are highly-paid as a reward for sheer hard work and dedication (doctors, professional engineers, etc.) must have considerably more patience.
Nimbus · M
@ArishMell Great point!
Degbeme · 70-79, M
I`ve notice that most that drive high end vehicles tend to think they are the only ones on the road. 🤬
Nimbus · M
@Degbeme Yep, it semms quite common 👍🏻
AbbeyRhode · F
A lot of people are superficial and immature, and believe that if they have more money than others, it makes them superior human beings.
Nimbus · M
@AbbeyRhode Good point, I guess so.
They dont know how to drive.

A bit like Audi drivers.
Degbeme · 70-79, M
@0uijaFinger Range Rover drivers too. *dives behind couch*
@Degbeme Yes
Oneofthestormboys · 56-60, M
@0uijaFinger I concur - I think there’s a slot on the outside lane that they get stuck in.
Musicman · 61-69, M
BMW 's are expensive. They feel if they can afford one and you can't that makes them better than you.
Nimbus · M
@Musicman Good point, a 'superiority' thing.
4meAndyou · F
I hate to admiit this, but I haven't noticed it. Perhaps I live in low-end land? 🤭🤭🤭
Nimbus · M
@4meAndyou Or are just too busy ;)
4meAndyou · F
@Nimbus Or I don't drive very often! 🤭
Munumbis · 46-50, M
They're subscribed to heated seats and rear dash speakers. They're getting all these services that others are not.
Nimbus · M
@Munumbis lol, heated seats seem unnatural ;)
empanadas · 31-35, M
Because they think it's a luxury car but it's really a car for low quality people trying to act Boujie
Nimbus · M
@empanadas Good one :)
