OH I see, a couple thousand more for things like fog lamps, navigation, moon roof is the same as 10-12k more for a BMW? You're hilarious. We paid a little more for function. Not sure how that equates to status.

Wow, you're dense.

A couple thousand to you is the equivalent of 10-12k to somebody else. You got some fog lamps, navigation, etc. The people that paid for the BMW got 300hp, seat coolers, etc. Somehow your money went to function, but the people that bought the BMW didn't get more function. Are you arguing that BMWs offer no more "function" than a Camry?

It isn't that hard to understand.

It is funny to watch you try to justify your ridiculous position though.
 
With as much as I like to say I'm into cars, I don't even know.

It started as negotiations for a lease (under the business, easier that way) and I agreed to the price they were going to sell the car. (Bought in Dec 2011 and they priced it 12K below sticker to make the lease work) But they told me the residual amount was not negotiable and was based on the sticker price (bunch of BS if ask me). I was thinking about buying the car at the end (I baby my cars and couldn't believe I was returning a car in mint condition, didn't buy last one because I want an AWD living in the hills but determined to buy my next lease).

Anyways after about 6 hours at the dealership, I decided to buy the car at the selling price they put on the lease and then personally lease the car to my business. It was a headache finding out if I can do this and honestly I got worn down. So while I don't care if the model is changing if I'm leasing, I hate buying a new car only to find out they change the body style the nest year. Didn't even think about it until after I drove off the lot and didn't want to research it after bought car because afraid of answer. I don't see much difference in the newer models, at least that is what I tell myself. :)

Don't know why I threw all that out there on your question but for some reason thought you might find that story interesting.

You do realize that having the turbo 535i is just begging you to chip it and bump that output WAY up, right? :ghoti:
 
Funny story....

I had my E63 years ago and I usually love driving +100 on the freeway to my son's school (without him in the car of course). Anyway, I was racing down the freeway (probably around 120 mph) and I noticed this car coming up on me. After realizing that this wasn't a black and white, I decided to play around with the driver. The moment he got close; I gunned it going at least 135-140 and smoking him to wear he was barely visible. Then I would slow down enough for him to catch up to me, only to gun it again. Rinse and Repeat.

So the moment I got to my exit, I began to turn into the off-ramp. Waiting for the light, I noticed that the car I was playing around with was an undercover cop. When the light went green, he turned on his lights and pulled me over. When he got out, he raced to my car and told me to give him my keys. He then called a local sheriff to come to the location. He screamed "How the fuck you think its okay to drive over 130 mph on the freeway?!" I simply replied, "Officer, I don't believe I was going that fast but if you show me the radar shot to prove I was going that fast, then I may believe him"

After keeping me in my car for about 30 minutes, he walked back with the local sheriff and said "We have the right to tow your vehicle and arrest you for reckless driving". I replied again, "Officer, I don't believe I was going that fast and I haven't seen proof that you or any police officer, proving I was going that fast" The local officer yelled "Stop being a fucking smart ass and admit that you went that fast!" I replied "I will not admit to anything I don't believe I DID!" I also added that I was picking up my son from school and if I am unlawfully arrested, I will file a civil suit to his department for child endangerment.

The cop told me to get out of my car. I asked again "Are you arresting me?" He screamed "Fucking get out of the car or I will arrest you!" I replied "I am only getting out of my car because I feel threatened by his accosting demeanor and do not want physical harm. When I was out, he went right in my face and told me that I am some rich smart ass that thinks he can get away with this shit. I replied that I am not a smart ass and just know my rights. Either give me proof that I committed this infraction or let me go. All the while the other officer was writing me a ticket. On the ticket it said "Driving 140+". I told both of them they better be in court, because I will most definitely fight this ticket. They said they would both be there.

Finally, my court day comes and I have everything prepared. I was ready to cross examine the under cover about his training methods for pacing a vehicle, credentials, and how many training days he had on pacing. I also had a few sections on how the local police cannot issue me a ticket because that officer did not witness the violation, etc. I looked around for the undercover, since I knew that officer was the only one that could bust me. I only saw the local police officer and she starred right at me. I waved and whispered; "I hope you know you are not a credible witness". She scowled at me and sat with the chippies and other law enforcement. I could see her talking with the Chippies as they would look at me, then look at her. Eventually I saw her stand up and walk towards the bench. About 5 minutes later, I hear that my case was dropped and as the officer walked out, she whispered "You are fucking lucky!"


Dear Penthouse....
 
The cars I have owned in my life are as follows: A POS 1978 manual 5 speed long-bed Toyota pickup, a 1988 Jeep Cherokee, a 1996 Toyota 4-Runner and a 2006 Honda Element. I don't know what any of that says about me, except that I used to do a lot of mountaineering, backpacking and hunting in my teens and twenties and after I got married 10 years ago I needed something to haul two 80 lb. dogs around in that I could hose out.

Sounds like the next vehicle you own will be a 2014 Toyota RAV-4.

We get it, 10-12k is nothing to you. You're so rich. Why would anyone think that BMW drivers are pretentious assholes? Where ever did I get that idea? :notworthy:

Seriously. You should be embarrassed by your insecurity.
 
Way to go HCP! Your thread turned into a pissing contest.

Speaking of a pissing contest, let's talk about older cars instead.
 
Maybe this is news to you, but not everyone thinks money is the most important thing in the world.

Go back and check your posts in this thread. Essentially every single post from you was about the costs and money. It's so obvious how important it is to you and how much it bothers you.

Like you said earlier...they are just cars. Relax.

Honest question, do you ever just post to discuss something? I think you are the most hostile and argumentative person on the board, and that's saying something. I get into arguments, but I also just post about the Blazers or Ducks, or other things. You seem to only want to get into arguments and yell at people. Maybe I got a little annoyed that some people were criticizing my purchase because it was too vanilla and boring, but you love to start shit in just about every thread you venture into. Are you like this in real life?

Yes.

Actually, in most threads you usually start crying and whining about something. You like to attack and then play the victim card.

If you're going to post ridiculous, contradictory thoughts where you're actually attacking others, then yeah, I'm going to call you out on it.

You admit you felt self conscious about your Camry purchase, but felt no hesitation to attack BMW drivers.


Are you like this in real life?

People like me!! :MARIS61: :MARIS61:
