A leaked document has revealed that the asshattery of BMW drivers may be more than coincidence. Failing to use turn signals, cutting off other drivers, tailgating, flipping the bird and other affronts to road civility have become indelibly associated with the Bavarian Marque. Why? According to the document, it's all part of a totally illegal customer loyalty scheme.
This template document, issued to all BMW dealers (click the image below to expand), comes to us from an anonymous informant known only as "The Whistleblower." It clearly outlines a list of driving behaviors, recorded on the black boxes that have been standard on all new BMWs for several years now and translated into points.
Accumulated points can then be traded for the kind of fabulous prizes middle management Bimmer drivers most covet, such as anger management classes and male botox injections.

Back when everyone had CB’s in their cars they called that technique “running interference”.
A speed bump at low speed is not enough to activate the rather stiff suspension of a lifted pickup... Take it a bit too fast and you'll be bouncing yer noggin off the rollbars. OTOH, take it at 35mph or more, and you won't hardly feel it.
Ya know, a pair of 250,000 CP, toggle-switch activated back-up lamps do wonders in that scenario... ; )
Yeah those speed bumps kick my ass, but that baja 500 is a cakewalk!
A tall truck is different to operate, but if you should ever build one, you'll never be satisfied with anything else.
I’ll take a 500cc 2 wheel dirt beast.
Just my style...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjEULGs9vw8
LOL! that's cool... different strokes (2 for you)... The important common link is the dirt... or rather, mud, rocks, snow... and dirt. :D
Why do people with liberal bumper stickers block turn lanes?
Piss poor video but yeah, I love off road.
I’m to old for that stuff now, but LORD it’s a HOOT!

one wonders why
Folks are ditching bikes for quads around here... Hardly know anyone with a bike anymore... But then, this is mountain country up here... and it is hard to strap a deer to a bike... Never got into them much myself... had a couple Harleys, and would love to have another... but mostly off-road pickups and muscle cars for me.
Your link refers to luxury car buyers, not leasers.
Bikes are better.

I had that, a radar detector, and a brace of Beemer drivers..
It is an exhibition of liberals’ entrenched mental illness!
I suppose it depends on the application.
