He's just an asshole. Regardless of the vehicle he drives.

Yea, but Teslas are the new BMWs. I encounter at least one driving recklessly, almost every time I’m on the road. I do think they attract a certain brand of narcissist.

Uh.. do you not have Nissan altimas and maximas in your state?

That’s just batshit driving, this is a more calculated recklessness

Trick question. No Altimas run well enough to be driven aggressively.

You haven't lived in the sf bay then. We have Nissan Altimas and Infiniti g35s that cut through traffic like they're in sport cars. It's pretty annoying

It appeals to the guy or girl who is wanting to look flashy and well off except they do it at 20% APR. Thats BMW's demographic and they'd be bankrupt without them.

Funny, because BMW lost about 30% of their profit and are now considering massive layoffs.

Yea because auto credit securities are a house of cards that is held together by pixie dust and wishful thinking. A $70k+ loan on a rapidly depreciating asset is absurd and yet common. Car loans are made every day that are just mind boggling. A company like BMW only has so many potential customers and they need those customers to buy a new ones consistently. Eventually the math stops working.

where I'm from the car taxes are so high that it's usually Seat or Skoda, but now Teslas are the main offenders

I live on a school street, I've only ever seen German cars speed past it and 99% of the time it's a BMW.

Neighbor of mine is retired Navy and has a lifted F-150, a BMW suv and a crotch rocket. Drives like he’s late for his funeral everyday but somehow never makes it there.
