OT: This is so freaking COOL!

I had to do a double-take at lunchtime today, I saw a BMW M8 on the mean streets of Burnaby.

Maybe it's my dislike of fruit (scarred childhood) but I don't see what's so grape about this pic.

I don't know whether it's cool, but it made me fall out of my chair laughing:

The local Bimmer dealer has an i8 and an i3 that they are giving test drives of. They are right up the street frim my office.

And the 8 is the blue one. Like this:

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN

I could never do test drives of expensive cars. I'd be far too nervous the whole time. Probably go like 15 MPH, tops.

I, on the other hand, scared the ever loving bejeesus out of an Audi salesman when I drifted around a corner in an R8.

He insisted he had to ride along. I told him he didn't want to do that. They never listen.

Didn't Kenny go down to Vegas to take out one of those supercars at the Las Vegas Speedway for a few laps? I wonder which car he chose. Hey Kenny, if you see this post, give us an update.

FWIW, it sounds like there's a huge potential for bias in these "studies". Incidents of road rage may simply exist in some people's minds because it was a confrontation with a BMW...where if the same incident occurred with a Toyota they wouldn't have recalled it. That said, BMW and Cadillac have been the ones I've been involved with in "angry" stuff. STUPID driving though? Those are the idiots in the sensible cars that stop on the freaking interstate to let someone on (real story...almost got rear ended).

pixy, I'm just having some fun, and if you are ever round these parts, Bimmers are by far the most popular car you will see on the roads driven by people who I have no idea how they acquired their license.

After my previously mentioned incident, after cursing them aloud, I decided that re-testing should happen. There's a difference between being a nice driver (ie taking turns at four way stop) and being an idiot who is putting a lot of lives at risk (ie coming to a dead stop on a 65mph road because you REALLY want to let that person at a dead stop on from the on ramp...flashing your lights doesn't make it magically okay, and that person is probably cursing you too for forcing them to go since you STOPPED).

So, wait... right of way at a four way stop or roundabout is not determined by who is driving the most expensive car?

Dammit.

Don't get me started on the idiocy at the drivers here who don't know how to maneuver a traffic circle. I've seen it all.
