This accusation seems to come out of left field. Don't see anything in this thread to indicate any kind of nefarious marketing scheme by the OP.

It's not uncommon for folks to try and field through forums to obtain data, as inaccurate as it may be. Glad you find it interesting. I don't. Just as the OP has the right to post it, I have the right to comment on it. You could have just as easily read past my comments and not bothered to reply if you didn't like it, but I'm glad you did. I have no problem with you voicing your opinion over my comments. Nothing wrong with that, and I hope you see that I have the right to do the same.

Ah. Here we have PhD's available in most technical areas. Engineering and science have a typical progression of BSc (4yr), MSc (+2yr), PhD (+2 or more yr). PhD in sci/eng gets you typically a completely different job description (read: advisory/specialist) if you work in industry at all, though usually they end up in research.

Generally, in Canada, BA (or BFa, BComm) are pretty easy to obtain compared to science/engineering degrees.

I, for one, find this thread incredibly interesting.. as I pictured at least 3/4 of us being of university degree in technical field, law, or medicine. Either that or extremely innovative entrepreneur. Not sure how else you afford these cars!

While your intentions may be innocent, there's enough "attitude" in this forum as is. Between those who feel they have to be able to justify the purchase/lease of this car (be it due to their age, income, net worth, etc.), and those that prey on others they somehow find to be less worthy, along with various other pissing contests, it's creating a bad vibe in this forum, imo.

I appreciated the "garage thread," for instance. It didn't say show a pic of your garage and state your net worth. It was just about garages. Some far nicer than what many others can afford, some done more tatesfully at a bargain, some more maintenace oriented, but it just showed appreciation from everyone about garages, and it demonstrated how everyone appreciates it in a different way.

Polls like this don't bring aboutg any sense of appreciation. They only bring about arguments, sense of superiority/inferiority in some, negative competition, and there's just too much of that in this forum as is. I like visiting this place, and I just wish it would contain more of the good natured information and appreciation of common interests that it did in the past. Even most of the sub-forums have these negative, pissing contests going on.

Oh please! Do you really think folks will feel superior or inferior because of this? If you cry yourself to sleep over this you need to avoid any kind of forum all together.

Thanks, but I'm not crying myself over this thread. I just voiced my opinion on seeing what I consider yet another pointless thread on here. Glad you and others are enjoying though. Have at it.

Trust me, this place is nothing like TCL, if you ever venture that way. But that place has quite a few more informative threads than the quality we're seeing on here lately. There's too much self-hype around this place, and some of the sarcastic posts above already allude to that.

There are tons of quality threads going on in the sub-forums... this is the general catch-it-all besides the off-topic section... I don't see how anybody can be bothered by it? Why don't you start some serious informative threads yourself? But be warned, we all have this incredible talent to turn every thread into shit and bickering.

Avoiding forums is probably a good idea if you're sensitive to what other people have/have accomplished.

Go on the Forum L4P.com, theres all sorts of guys with TT lambos, multiple ferrari's theres actually a forum member with a Veyron SS on order and a Koni Agera R on order.

Guy probably isnt older than 32-33.

I try when I can, and when I don't have anything interesting to start a thread about, I leave it alone, with the exception of maybe something humrous. But I agree, everything turns to crap pretty quickly these days.

It's not about being sensitive. I couldnt care less if someone is 18 or 88. I'd be geniuely happy for them either way. The issue is these types of threads becomes pointless pissing contests.The sacrastic posts above allude to the same thing (e.g. "INB4 my MS degree from blahlblah university is better than your...").

Agreed, that's why I didn't post that I got my degree from MIT... I think we all already know that I'm pretty much the smartest guy around here. I'm also a 17th level Paladin.

And when I don't post ridiculously smart comments, I turn threads to shit... It's yet another gift I have.

Oops, wrong thread. I thought this was M3post.

+1

Maybe I'm missing something but doesn't the fact that there are a wide range of answers to this poll suggest that there is little correlation (relatively speaking) between the level of degree and what you drive?

Doesn't that suggest that feeling superior because of your answer is idiotic?

"I have a doctorate from XXX in YYY and drive an M3."

"I didn't finish my undergrad in XXX and now I YYY and drive an M3."

[IMO, this is a very interesting and innocuous post. Thanks OP!]

If you'll notice, the only one arguing and injecting negativity is you. But as you said, you are free to rant like a loon all you want.

But seriously, decaf ...

[BetterLate]

Getting ready to scrub for surgery, but rather sure that most of the regular posters on this site are way smarter than me.... and I'm okay with that.

Although, I'm still running stock, and I must admit I got SC envy bad.

OP- great thread.

So, the main question now is, if not M3's, then what do dentists drive?
