Well these distinctions are kind of vague if you don't specify exactly what you mean by "middle class" and "upper middle class." The terms don't mean anything in and of themselves. It's better to specify ranges.

However, that kind of analysis is also complicated by the fact that different areas have different costs of living, so you need a way to normalize for purchasing power.

My first job was in customer support and they taught me that while feedback is important, people only really like to complain.

I'm not gonna lie, whenever I see a fellow BMW driver drive with the flow of traffic while maintaining a respectful 2 second distance from the car in front (i.e. not tailgating) I think "Wow, so they do exist"

And that goes double if the driver is in his or her 20s or 30s. Younger BMW drivers are among the most aggressive on the road, and they seem aloof about it a lot of the time which is disappointing. They're constantly changing lanes and creeping up (thereby tailgating the car in front of them) despite the fact that they inevitably hit a red light and all of their rash, unsafe driving ends up being for naught.

It has nothing to do with you being a female, and everything to do with the fact your spelling is worse than a pre-schooler.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Right ! ! ! Got it. The mentality of re-posting one of my post from a few years ago that was not even in this thread, for the purpose of indulging your own childishness, makes you NOT a preschooler

Then applauding the the valley girl insinuation with all the OMG's insults, does NOT make you a male chauvinist pig either

Got that too :-) I am gonna stay here for a while to see how much deeper you dig you holes

Come on, Waiting

First, are you even a female? Second, are you a feminist?

Lol, I have definitely driven aggressively before, I think we all have. It gets hard with such a fine machine under your foot, you know. I think that the majority of us on this board keep it respectful though (or at least purport to). I see cars of all makes being driven aggressively but you're right, a lot of those seem to be e46/e39 BMWs that the kids are getting as their first cars or whatever. Lately I've just about been spun around by a lot of Scion FR-S's.

I been posting on the more serious side of this forum for years and had met some people at the meets, never encountered anyone as the likes of you . So you like to live on the internet bashing people? Like why?

I think that most in their 20's or 30's who own a fast car, no mater if its a BMW or other, will drive over aggressively. I think that more younger people these days chose BMW over other fast cars, so it might make it seem like more BWM drivers are over aggressive since it became the popular choice within that age group

There's really no reason that men cannot be feminists. I've met many people (particularly those 'bronies') that fight harder for women's rights, in efforts to attract the fairer gender.

You didn't answer my question, though...

Oh yeah I'm definitely no different. Whenever I get the urge I usually tell myself that I'm about to engage "douche mode" as I call it

I've tried to minimize my "douche mode" engagements over the years but it's never gone quite down to zero You're right our cars are too fun to only drive the speed limit all the time.

If you want me to answer your uncalled for ridiculous question if I am a female and a feminist. You fit right in a category that you will not like: There are numerous forums (male dominated) where when a woman decided to fight a group of men, just like I am doing here. We get accused of not really being women cause we don't fit into the male norm of being subservient

Yeah I am a woman and a feminist (shakes head)

Do you realize how old and boring this all is ! Like really, anyone who stands up against you, cannot be a woman.., Please

Now Answer my question: So you like to live on the internet bashing people? Like why?

Actually, he likely asked because recently in the OT there was a jack ass who changed his forum name and avatar to seem as if he was a woman.

Very true, it's all about the context

Plus, technically speaking speeding past the posted limit is a virtual non-issue these days as everyone speeds a little bit.

Thanks, Tonka.

That bullshit with Horst really bugged me, I just wanted to ask if this Lara Croft character was actually a female. She would've replied the same even if she wasn't, though, but I figured it was worth a shot.

Just so I could know how to take things from this person.
