i could drive a bmw and i don't drive like an idiot


Not all do, but many do. Which leaves more of an impression than good drivers. I also don't have a very favourable view of BMW cars in general, but maybe that's because I like VWs and BMW is the enemy.

It could be that most people who drive BMWs are asian.

I was just thinking the other day after observing people driving BMW that they were idiot drivers. A scientific study agrees.


Lol can't believe they actually did a study on it. Makes sense, I had this discussion with my buddy. His argument was that BMWs are more expensive so they're usually nicer drivers, my argument is their income is probably such that damage to their BMW is of similar proportion to their means as damage to most other peoples' cars is to theirs. It takes a certain psychology to own a BMW and they probably expect the seas to part while they're driving and don't really give a shit about anyone else.

Drivers of BMWs and other high-status cars (including Prius hybrids) were also more likely to cheat at four-way-stop intersections, according to the research.


IMO has more to do with the full-of-yourself mindset than anything. "high status" people are selfish douchebags for the most part. I bought a desk and a chair from World Market (super high status place) and people were judging me for wearing a wife beater since I had to carry the stuff across the street to my apartment lol. I'm definitely guilty of it sometimes, not so much with crosswalks but with traffic and such.

Also playing a League game as anivia with Bird is the Word on loop in the background.

People judge too easy. When I bought the Panemera, I was wearing a unzipped hoodie with the sleeves rolled up. This one sales guy me off twice before another finally talked to me. I hate rich people/high status businesses who act stuck up, it's a naïve attitude that makes you few true friends.

Same lol. At the risk of sounding pompous, I'm worth .... a significant amount ... and still buy $5 fitted shirts from H&M when they're on sale. They're pretty freaking comfortable though so that might not be a good comparison

The only problem is they're thin as fuck so you can go through them pretty quickly. :lol:

Lol, ish, I guess. I mean for $5 a pop I usually buy 2 of each color, so like 8-12 total depending on the store. The key is to be in better shape than the other guys so that instead of being embarrassed by the low thread count, they're jealous of what they can see.
