I felt bad for him already at that point. The passenger seat looked so unused and I could tell he SOO wanted a BMW, but just couldn't admit to himself that he could not afford one, bottom line. The other reason he told me why he didn't buy the bmw was because it uses premium gasoline, he said it in the same way a person who uses dial up asking you 'why the hell are you paying for broadband service? I'm smarter than you cause I just use my telephone line which I already pay for and I pay only one bill while you have to pay two seperate bills.' He was really smug about his car using regular gas. Just sad cause you can see he really does want to buy a BMW, but has to act like a complete douche to everyone and to himself so he can feel better about himself. Why else would anyone start such a weird conversation at a gas station?

Was just asking to see some pics of your rides, thanks. Was not asking for you to get all loud and cocky. But hey, whatever floats your boat, I guess.

That being said, I admit that I am curious what you do for a living. But I am sure you've mentioned it before so I'll just go look it up. As I am sure you are keenly aware - you definitely don't conduct yourself like someone who has worked their way into a position of wealth, though. Not that it matters, really, but the fact of the matter is that 99 out of 100 people who act, think, and behave like you don't own 6 cars. Simply statistics. So congratulations for beating the odds and acquiring some material wealth despite any apparent signs of higher intelligence. LOL, actually that sounded really douchey. But no, kudos to you for somehow making it.

Cheers.

While it may seem reasonable to assume that 65 in the left lane is acceptable, in reality it's not (unless traffic is congested and forcing 65). I typically keep a decent distance from the car in front of me to help prevent rock chips. If, in the process of following a car thats doing 75, and the car in front of him doing the same, etc etc, and someone from the right lane doing 65 cuts over into my lane and doesn't actually pass a car, yes I get irritated. If your going to do that, match the flow of traffic (75 in this example) pass the intended car, then return to the right lane and resume 65 (or 68). Cruise control passers can be the most despised people on the road.

Sweet.

Hey since we are already way off topic - how 'bout pics of the six car garage? I understand you want to keep your address private, but I'd love to see pics of that garage - must be awesome.

Are the pics of the AW 328i and M3 side-by-side in your garage too?

It doesn't matter. You're tying up the lines, and with budget cuts, there are only so many calls they can field at one time. If some poor girl is about to get raped and trying to call 911, and she can't get through because your pussy ass is worried about "road rage," what would you say about your conduct then? save 911 for REAL emergencies...

These are some of the funniest stuff I've read in a while.

About that video of statey, only in new jersey. Gotta love it. You think that driver learned his/her lesson?

Some people are just out to lunch. They simply do not know that the first lane is for passing. I've passed many cars just cruising on the first lane. I look at them as I pass them. They all look like they don't know what's going on while there's a train of people behind them all bunched up. I think they figure they won't have to worry about people merging if they're on the first lane. What can you do? It's way too easy to get a license in the states.

Top 10 Douchebag Cars

Check out this link. It's old but I still laugh my balls off every time I read it.

And is it me or does every Infiniti G35/37 driver have to act like a complete douche around m3's? Anyone ever have those weird conversations at the gas pump? "Oh is that a BMW? See, I was going to buy one myself, but it uses so much gas, so I bought a Toyota Corolla instead. Gets way better gas mileage (while he smugly wiped his oil dipstick clean.. by himself, which I'm sure is something he's used to doing)".

Anyone else care to share their tales of douchbaggery? I'm sure we all have at least one story.

Yea I think almost everyday I pass a douchebag. Whether its the F150 trucks or tahoes. There seems to be alot of douchebag drivers when I am driving. If you doing 65mph in the fast lane GTFO the lane.

You seriously don't understand or your are pretending that you don't get it? if you are only going 3+ over the speed limit, there are some drivers that are okay to get speed ticket by going up to +10 over (and usually it is okay to go +10 over) so why the hell are you driving on the left lane when you are not passing anyone and you are slower than most of the cars driving on the left lane?

If I was driving behind you, I would personally overtake you on the right lane, show you finger, and cut you off!

what you are doing is only capable from morons and d-bags

Not only is it a safety issue and possibly against the law you stated "i always feel that people expect me to drive fast with this car...so i simply cruise control @ 68mph on the far left lane...this, i find, pisses the shit out of most drivers...they tailgate me and then cut me off." You are driving in the "fast lane" on purpose to piss people off and possible cause an accident.

How is that not a douchebag move?
