Get ready for $4.00 a gallon gas prices in the US.

For those that think Linclons and Escalades are "a wastefull status symbol---jerkbox"

What is wrong with wanting something that is nice for yourself? Some people feel the best when they have a super green yard that looks perfect, which also means fertilizing and mowing it causing pollution. And then there are the poeple that feel good in a nice vehicle. Oh, and if a escalade ran into any one of todays car, who is gonna be in a death trap? It is easier for Firefighters to get someone out of a roomy suv than a compact car.

I love the flux of American SUV haters.

It keeps them from hating the BMW drivers.

So, HATE ON people.

Hate on.

I remember my time in Atlanta. I used to come down the highway where 75 and 85 merge at about 110 MPH in my little Saturn.

Why thank you!


Our State Patrol sucks. They occasionally talk shit on the 11:00 news about "crack downs" on speeders. Bullshit. New people to Atl realize they can go that fast because "everybody else is doing it". Our police allow it to go on. If our state gov REALLY wanted to stop that kind of behavior in metro it could, but thus far it's only occasional smack talk for PR. I avoid interstate travel in metro 99% of the time.

The speeding wouldnt be such a problem provided that people 1) didnt ride each other's asses at 90 mph, 2) didnt change lanes without signalling. That's what gets people killed. It's not reallyt the speeding but generally just stupid, thoughtless, aggressive driving.

Dear God I'm not even 21 yet and I'm a better, more attentive driver than most of the people I see on our roads. Very troubling.

i hate the whole SUV trend.....

there's no need for anyone to drive around in a Lincoln Navigator.....

LOL WrxBOX..

Doesn't your car have a turbo on it?

Better trade it in on a Ford Aspire pronto to save on fossil fuels...

Laughing at Velvett!! In Newport, I noticed that it was the bmw drivers that drove the craziest. Zipping in and out of traffic. Especially those that had the 3 series. I don't know why though. I guess they were jealous that they couldn't afford a 7 series

You're safe from BMW hate where you live. It's a kid's car or third car on LI.

Venture to the southeast, though, and it;s a whole different equation.

It's wrong because it's more harmful to the environment than a smaller, more practical car. If you need to make a $$ statement with your car, buy a $100 000 BMW or Mercedes. At least you can drive more than 10 miles on a tank of gas.

Here;s a better idea: take the idea that you can use some nebulous, dubious threat about the environment to control other people's behavior, and cram it directly up your tailpipe.

Big Brother already has strict controls on fleet MPG and what car makers can build.

Cow belches harm the environment more than cars.

Have a nice day.

Yah, I've mellowed out a bit.
I was the craziest in my Calias quad 4 back in the 80's/early 90's - then again I was also young and stupid.

I don't think there's any jealousy about the 7 series though - it's a car for a different type of end user so that's a bad argument.

That said - I know a lot of asshole drivers, and some of them drive BMWs.
