    jerk! Giving us BMW riders a BAD name!!

    I drive a BMW , a black one too... It says IRONMOM on the license plate. Whenever I even THINK I see a bike I try to move into the other lane to give them room. Or I'll slow down and give them a wave when I go by.
    But this a- holio is giving us BMW owners a bad name!!
    Glad you got the last laugh tho! I just hope he doesn't take that big ticket he gets out on another cyclist.

    errr. title was suppose to say DRIVER, not rider!!

    Uhhh.... I thought BMW drivers already HAD a bad name??
    (Present company excluded, of course! )

    But it all comes back to that joke -
    Q: "What's the difference between a BMW and a porcupine?"
    A: "With a porcupine, the pr**k is on the OUTside!"

    Jenn, glad you're okay.
    I give you both credit for keeping your cool. I don't know if DH and I would have been so restrained in your place. Well done.

    Yep, I thought it was porsche drivers too. But I could se that in BMW drivers. It's comical when I take mine in for an oil change. There are some real pieces of work in the waiting area!! lol
    And for the record... I didn't want a BMW. I wanted a KIA! I drove a volvo for years and I SWORE to my husband that I was done with expensive cars. Then I drove my aunts X5. But they husband won out with the sedan... sigh... I just didn't win in that one!!
    But I digress...

    Sorry to hear you go through that, Jenn. Please let us know if that guy had the book thrown at him!

    I don't see that with Porsche or BMW drivers. I think they're so common in my area that it's not a big ego thing. The problems I run into are with A) Big-necked bubba drivers of shiny new half-ton pickups and B) Spanish-speaking drivers of old, beat-up work trucks who can't undestand why you're not on the sidewalk.

    Prius drivers seem to be the most polite on the road. They always smile and wave. Volvo drivers seem to be polite, too. And Volkswagen drivers always seem to have a "Mean People Suck" bumber sticker on their lime green bugs.
