I found this funny

Its a funny read, and pretty much on the mark about most drivers. Except for BMW drivers of course.

Mostly true...although I actually haven't noticed

The worst are the girls that drive cavaliers and neons....

Not the least bit scientific, but amusing nonetheless.

I cant say that my driving changed any for the worse since I've gotten into the BMW. As the law goes, I guess I'm considered wreckless. I hate people that cut me off or go slow in the left lane, and usually I find a way to get my point across if they piss me off enough...

toyota drivers are the damned worst

I have to admit I have been much more agressive and less tolerant since I got my E90, but I behaved the same way when I got my last car which also had 255HP.

There is a difference, the E90 is much more capable than my last car and I dont mind flaunting it, I dont consider myself a very aggressive driver, 50% of the time.

Has anyone thought that this may be a self-fulling prophecy... If people think BMW drives are A-holes won't they do things to piss them off and make them look like a-holes when they floor get to get the hell away from you..

All hail the champion! BMW drivers are bar none, the worst around. They have managed to achieve that elusive combination of disdain, money, attitude, disregard for others, and self-importance that no other drivers have. BMW drivers don't just not care about you … they HATE you. They hate having to share the road with any other driver. They hate those who drive what they consider sub-standard cars (i.e. any car not costing over $40,000) because they are losers. They hate those who drive Mercedes, Lexus, etc because they are stuffy or old. They hate those who drive SUVs because they take up too much room. They hate those who drive Porsches, Corvettes, and other big-bicks sports cars because those drivers don't drive fast enough. They even hate other BMW drivers because they can't stand that anyone else has their car. BMW drivers are generally white 40-somethings with a wife and three kids, plus a mistress on the side. They tend to be largely lawyers or investment bankers, whose philosophy is that the world is here to serve them, and it is doing a bad job of it. They mistreat and underpay their illegal Honduran or El Salvadoran housekeepers, and consistently mispronounce their names. Their children are named Kaitlyn or Brittney or Chase or Brendan. They were all in either fraternities or sororities, play golf badly, and revere Tiger Woods for being a credit to his race. They are the scum of the earth, and are truly deserving the title of the worst drivers around. If you want to have fun, do yourself a favor and cut a BMW driver off without acknowledging him. . . .
I know what he's talking about here

I noticed a slight change towards agressive when i first got my car and now only once in a while. One of the problems though was that I wasn't used to a car with torque so I would go to give what I thought was a normal amount of gas and I'd be right on the person's butt and have to slow down. I got used to that though.
