Bmw= Bad Mother#$%^&&*

[Duck on Wheels]

Reminds me of my most recent encounter with truck, I haven't had real issues with cars in like 20 years but this guy cut me off on Lakeshore and came this close to my front wheel. I imitated V and put Bradley the commuter in a big gear and caught up at the next light.

Now I'm behind him, he's got paper plates

Paper? Registration plates? As in phony? As in prob'ly no insurance, and mebbe even no license? As in call the cops and get this guy off the road?!?!?!?

Uh, I drive a (red) BMW and I am not an a**hole (sounds like AA). Around here they are common because it is one of the few AWD cars that comes in small sedan size or station wagon (unless you get a Subaru). My car is great in the snow and going up my 10% grade street. I had an SUV, a mini van, and a Volvo wagon before this car and I was just sick of bigger cars. Yes, it was my present to myself when I turned 50 and like RM, I give cyclists a wide clearance.
Glad you got that jerk cited. And on base, yet! According to my son, that is a very bad thing to get caught speeding on base. I find most of the jerky drivers here are either 1) old people in Buicks that look like tanks or 2) ugly looking guys in pick ups... in fact, one of those threw a can of soda at my husband when he started riding about 8 or 9 years ago...

Not sure about CA, but up here you get temporary plates (yup made of paper, taped onto your back window on the inside) when you first buy a car to use until your permenant ones come or if your registration has lapsed you can get a "trip permit" to take it to the repair shop and the like.
