So no one told me getting an M3 would get me hated on so hard!

Daily driving, no. I don't drive like an a-hole but if I am not the extra respectful type and if I see shitty drivers blocking the road or something I honk at them, and I get honked back sometimes.

I do remember some asshole following me in his Mercedes after he stopped right in middle of the road no blinkers no obvious reason and I honked at him. That was back when I was driving the E53 X5, maybe 10-12 years ago. He kept on following me so I stepped on the gas and lost him after a few turns.

I know, kind of old, but I found a rebuttal for you.

Not JUST our damn car batteries, but cell phones, computers, microsoft, Apple and more.
Y'know, I'm not a tree hugger type (not that there is anything wrong with being that) but it is a disturbing article.

Unfortunately every industry is either corrupted or their methods do not seem to make sense. Watch a video on how we get our meat from cattle or how chickens are really farmed. The article you reference is quite disturbing.

I did a cross country trip to film a short doc for a custom Porsche builder (think: wannabe Singer) last spring, and we passed by some large, industry cattle farms and it was very disturbing.

Went from talking about driving a car to the farm industry
