Your comment: "I really really hate to generalize, but just guess what kind of person was driving both this and the 7" So discrimination is funny to you?? That part I didn't laugh at. Y'all have a good day and let's just play nice in the sandbox! Opinions are one thing... judging others opinions are entirely different. |

Also, putting an 'm' badge on your car is one thing (bmw put ///M stickers and stuff all over my 335is stock and I know its not an M car), but calling your car an M6 as this person did is clearly a cry for attention and a wish for something he doesn't have.

Fair enough, valid points. Hope you don't claim you own an M car though, but then again, your life! Do as you please

Well I'll admit I know next to nothing about finances or financial markets. It's not my area. I was simply looking at the past 30 years and extrapolating, but I don't know if it's reasonable to do that

I found this useful little summary chart on average annual ROIs for the S&P 500
http://people.stern.nyu.edu/adamodar...histretSP.html Over the last 50 years it's been 9.73% Over the last 10 years? 7.02% I thought 6.5% was a pretty conservative estimate based on those figures. |

As for many of the users being immature teens and twenty somethings who happen to be part of well-off families, I suspect you're right. The alternative, that users who lack any sort of maturity, basic communication and discussion skills, and any grasp of spelling, grammar, or other writing skills but yet are somehow able to hold well-paying jobs, is rather baffling. Then again, perhaps I put too much faith in the education and business systems by believing that these skills are still valued and necessary. Quote:
As for the issue of race, I never mentioned that at all. Perhaps you weren't referring to me, but then again, it was lumped into a paragraph that begins by addressing me by name. You can likely see where my confusion comes from.

Hey! My grammar's fine...and if you set out to turn every single post into an essay, you're just wasting your own time. Text based social conversation is about conveying a message, not worrying about the finer points of your grammar, spelling etc etc. With that being said, I still pay attention to grammar and spelling. I don't however give a damn about sentence structure and organization. It is the internet!

Do you not pay taxes? In order to take home $8k a month you're going to need to make much more than $100k...

^^ Sorry math wizard. I did a quick mental calc, but even after taxes, you'd still be fine with a $100k salary.
It's weird when we get OT in OT. |

It doesn't take a math wizard to know that in that tax bracket you are paying 30 - 40% of your income. I would not spend that kind of money on a car with a salary of $100k.

A problem that all of us that own BMW are guilty of.

Please excuse my hyperbolic statement, but I was only referring to what the 100k comes out to per month. I am grateful for you catching my error.
