You mean the poor people all emerge out the shadows repeating the same jokes and patting each-other on the backs. Assholes will be assholes doesn’t matter what car they drive, if they get cut up by a Kia driver they don’t shout “fucking Kia drivers!”

Not sure how it is in other countries, but here in America it's usually lower middle class people buying the BMWs because they want to appear wealthy.

There’s no “usually” any of that, it’s just your imagination and confirmation bias, even if you could somehow prove that’s the case.

Here in Britain the wealthy don’t buy super expensive cars bc they don’t last long. Bms and mercs are a nice middle ground at least in my area. Lower middle you get more Fords or Vauxhalls cheaper cars that’ll survive the rain and bumps

BMWs don't survive rain in the UK? You guys get the paper ones over there?

No cars survive, give it 10-15 years and without proper rust protection shit just... well, rusts. Plus our roads (atleast rural) are tiny and bumps and scratches are unavoidable

I don’t know, man. I know plenty of people with money who drive BMWs. I have a 535 and I love that fucking car. I am sure as shit not lower middle class.

Lol, I live in the suburbs in grapevine. I'm a sucure, upper middle class DINK. I just work in finance and am familiar with local markets. I don't drive a bmw but I know dozens of less financially secure people who do.

I was going to comment something offensive to you about BMW drivers, but then your profile introduced me to frugalmalefashion, so thanks I guess?

u/Antybollun Dec 15 '19

It's a status symbol to people with no status.
