Yes . I KNOW You Bought Your Lousy Car In Germany-WHO CARES!!

Yes, I hate yuppie scum…they drive the german whoremobiles, and displace honest, working class bars with those goddamn fern bars! I consider it a mark of honor to deface a bimmer…of course, they are so ugly, you would hardly notice the difference!
To the British dopers-are german car buyers in the UK also represenative of the despised class of humanity? I think if all of the M-B drivers in the US were to disappear, it would be a plus!

So, what, you want us all to drive Chevy Cavaliers?

What’s a fern bar? What’s a bimmer?

I’m curious as to how a BMW can be BOTH a pimpmobile AND a whoremobile.

Who’s driving these things anyway???

J

Bimmer or Beemer is slang for BMW.

Buy American! Never mind that Chevrolet was actually Swiss!

STUPID NAZI SWISS!

oh wait.

The way I understand it, Bimmer is slang for BMW cars, and Beemer is slang for BMW motorcycles.

Pimps value safety and reliability, so they prefer Volvos. Or so I was told from Amazon Women on the Moon, anyway.

Maybe we should all chip in and buy Ralph a custom European license plate.

Ah. I see. I’ve heard Beemer but never bimmer.

So, what’s a fern bar?

Oh, and Coldfire, I’ll buy American when they make a decent car. Oh, what the hell am I prattling on about…I’ll never buy American!
JuanitaTech, pretending she isn’t driving two glorified Fords.

Glorified Ford? Let me guess: the Land Rover is a late model Discovery. Granted, that’s a Ford. Be glad, though. They used to cost even more to maintain when Land Rover didn’t belong to Ford. :slight_smile:

But an XJ-6? That’s a clean cut Jag from the old era. With matching maintenance costs. Ye Gads, you better not bust a window motor or something. :eek:

The Land Rover is a Series 1 Discovery. Way before Ford got their nasty hands on it. I love how Ford makes the luxury car companies they buy churn out an ugly yet affordable model (a la the Freelander and X-Type).

Yeah, the XJ6 is before Ford got to them, too.

Oh, and I hope you knocked on wood after you typed that window motor coment, mister!

Fern bar:

Judging by the URL, that must be some sort of official US government definition. :smiley:

Others have linked the fern bar to TGI Friday’s.

The OP reminds me of something that happened to me when I used to have a personalized license plate on my car at the time, a VW if that’s of any import. The plate was the last part of my last name, SCOYOC, and once some one was so pissed off by this apparently cryptic message that he left a nasty note on the windshield.

Later I changed it to my initials, and finally I just went back to a standard DMV-issued number. I decided that vanity plates were just a bit passe.

Fatherjohn? Is that you? And aren’t there enough SUVs around for you to worry about? :wink:

Bavarian Motor Works - is that what BMW stands for? You learn something new every day. What an educational thread this has been!

"If it’s capitalism itself, then I think you took a wrong turn at Cuba. "

Why don’t you try thinking that not every anti-capitalist is planted in bed with Cuba? And yes, if I liked my car, I’d still be driving it even if I had more money.

As for German cars? Who gives a shit? Besides the dumb OP, of course…

Hah… I drive a Lexus down here in Australia. I also own a 21 year old Bimmer 323i but it never comes out of the garage anymore. But you know the best thing about driving a Lexus? Sure… it’s not a sportscar; Sure… it’s not a musclecar; Sure… it’s not an awesome Status cymbol; Sure… they’re incredibly quiet to the point of being sterile… Nope! The best part about driving a Lexus is that NO ONE notices them. Nobody empowers me to represent some fascist capitalist pig who deserves to be spat on. Nobody ever thinks to summon up all of their sad, pitiful spite and scrape a coin down the side of the car…

And yet oddly, a few years back I drove my tired old Bimmer to a public carpark one day to do jury duty, and when I went to drive home, there I found horrible coin scrapes on a 17 year old car worth hardly anything…

Yep… drive a Lexus guys. Nobody notices you and it’s wonderful.

You see, no matter what I do in my life, there are always gonna be arseholes in this world…

BBF, I once saw a guy driving a Mercedes that had “GREED” scratched into the side in huge letters. My friend’s boyfriend drives a BMW 318i (his father works for the company) and they’ve found things ranging from spit to ice cream smeared all over their windows. My boyfriend also drives one (316i? It’s a cute little compact) and he’s had his side lights ripped out.

Some people are just assholes.

WTF is up with this keying of cars ? Who the hell keys somebody else’s car ? I’d love to know if there are any better arguments to do so, than the OP’s.

I hope you get caught keying the car, fuckwit.

Bayerische Motoren Werke, if we’re gonna be precise. Literally, Bavarian Engine Factories. BMW used to make engines for airplanes in the first half of the 20th century, way before they started on motorbikes and automobiles. The current logo, a blue-and-white interpretation of a plane prop, is a reminder of those days.

You do learn something new every day - I thought the BMW logo derived from the Bavarian state coat of arms.

Nah. German car buyers are praised for their success and worthiness. Instead we save our spite for the poor and the terminally jealous.

Now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to go out and key any car I see that costs less than $20000.
