You know how we make acronyms out of car company names- ‘Found On Road, Dead’ for Ford and suchlike?
I have a German friend who passed on a few for BMW that Germans use. Most are usable here only when edited for profanity. :-)
Very old joke. The difference between a BMW and a porcupine is the BMW has the pricks on the inside.
I have a full size white van. If I drive slowly past an elementary school (school zone speed limits you know), half the soccer moms are pulling the kids off the street and the other half are calling 911 on their cell phones. And they think “driving while black” is bad, try being a middle age white guy in a white van.
How did Lexus drivers not make that list? I guess the control group had accelerator and brake problems and the two could not be distinguished from their poor behaviour.
What’s the difference between a BMW and a porcupine?
Obviously, the UK has few lifted 3/4 ton 4WD diesel pickups. I’ve never seen one driven at anything less than wide open. The taller and more unstable they get, the faster they go.
I’m reading your post on a blackberry; the way it scrolled through was friggen hysterical! +1 Internets for you..
What the hell is a Vauxhall????
“Traditionally the white van man is stereotyped as a bad driver”
I wonder if this is partly due to the prevalence of white vans as work vehicles. I know if I have to drive to get somewhere while “on the clock” I am usually a bit more stressed and hurried than when I’m driving on my own time.
I’ve still got a cherry M3 I bought new back in ‘03- only has 25k miles on it and I just drive it occasionally for fun. Great car, and I feel the opposite of angry when I’m behind the wheel =).
They must not have Prius cars in England. If you see one of those behind you in the commute lane here in Silicon Valley and you’re doing less than 10 MPH over the posted speed limit, you’d better put on your sunglasses and spray on some sunblock to save yourself from their halogen high-beams.
I’ve driven a BMW in Germany, but refuse to here in the States. I was living in New Jersey at the time (Bergen County), and most of the BMW drivers there were yuppies who liked to weave in traffic and run people off the road.
While driving in Germany, I have seen much more driving courtesies than in New Jersey. That is even with the stereotypical German “lead foot”.
BMW = Barbarian Motor Works
“2. White Van”
LOL! With two white men in it, too!
My work vehicle is a white Ford econoline van. I drive defensively but politely.
My fun vehicle is a V-8 pick-up.
Seems like the cars that annoy me the most are the slow little liberal cars like the VW Bug or Pretentious Prius or those ugly square cars, let’s call them ClownCars.
Just last week a very slow Bug on the highway nearly made me late for an appointment. Clueless liberal at the wheel, leading a parade of frustrated fellow motorists who had somewhere to go.
Purty.
Purty purty purty.
(altho it's only a never-manufactured prototype)
