quick funny story...(funny to me at least)
Took my kids to the subdivision pool yesterday. the 3 life guards (16-17 year old boys) were all on break talking about cars. The one kid was all excited about picking up his new car friday. It was fast, but only a V6 so insurance wasnt going to be that bad.
By this point, I had to know. So I asked, "what are you getting"
He proudly says, "1999 B M W, M3, Convertable"
I feal bad now, but my imediate reactions was, "dont get that, get a car with style"..."only posers get BMW's, especially old, slow M3's"..."you are buying a name plate, not a drivers car"
he started to get pissed, but then one of the other lifeguards laughed and told him to listen, as I obviosly had taste in cars and he pointed to my R.
As usual, my wife walked away frustrated that someone else validated my car obesession.
