Arrogant BMW Owners? (long)

["Dr. Doolittle, PhD" <saline69@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Adam, 
You've got to be kidding me right?  Your arrogant attitude leaves little 
to be desired for.  No wonder BMW owners have such a bad image.  I'm 
sure the Benz people don't carry an image like this, nor the Porsche 
guys.

I don't know what you consider safe, but an E30 BMW in a frontal 
collision has a higher rate of neck/head injury then an Acura Integra 
(2nd generation).  Don't assume that the BMW is safer simply because it 
weights more, and costs more.  (Consumer Reports, not pulled out of my 
ass...like otherr people's info)

People buy cars for different reasons.  Some view a car as a way to get 
from point a to point b, and nothing more.  They do not have the time to 
"enjoy" driving, infact there are many people out there who hate 
driving!  Then there are those that love to drive, and they spend the 
money on the nice cars that really in reality do the samething, it gets 
you to your intended desination.  In style?  That's all relative.  So 
what's your point?  What's the difference between a Rolex and Casio 
watch?  They both tell time.  It's whatever one's preference is.

And who cares if someone has an M badge on their non-M car?  I have an M 
car, i'm not offended.  If anything, you should feel honored that they 
like your car that much!  It's a generational thing to fix up different 
cars.  You have the Bow-Tie guys, and you have the Ford guys, you have 
the Honda/Acura guys, the Mazda guys, and the Toyota guys.  In couple of 
years from now, you may become a Porsche guy and just hate BMWs 
yourself.  

 Last I checked, there were plenty of Hondas running around the street.  
Have you checked how much these cars costs used?  Talk about resale 
value.  BMW couldn't hold a candle to what Honda's cost (percentage 
wise) on the used car market.  There are only a select few BMW's worth 
anything.  The M3s/M5s/M6s/540s.  You can pick up a used 750i for around 
~$15K now, how much was it when it was new????  (I don't want to hear it 
from you e28-328 and e34-525/535 guys!! I'm just trying to prove a 
point!)  Benzs do not depreciate like bimmers, and they are both luxury 
car makers.  

Ok, that's enough ranting and raving by me.  Just remember, open up your 
mind before you open up your mouth, you never know what you might stick 
in it.  Closed minded folks makes this country progress backwards, and 
not forward like it should.
