Yeah, if you want to overpay for a car that will break down every other day.

of course not, you can pay the regular amount and get a ford that will break down EVERY day!

A majority of the police officers and taxi drivers of this great nation would beg to differ.

one of my best friends works for his uncle who owns the local yellow cab company, and he used to be the biggest ford fan...until he started that job. now he loves the hybrid civics that they're starting to migrate to. he wants his next car to be a honda. i think this will be hilarious as he is the biggest hick ive ever met. i can't imagine someone driving a civic hatch wearing a coors light hat, plaid shirt, dirty jeans and huge work boots.

This is exactly what I experienced with my test drives. I put my prejudice of *not* wanting to drive a prick-mobile to bed as soon as I realized that it really was a hell of a car. The status-seeking assholes may have followed, but before that happened the car earned its 'ultimate driving machine' status of its own volition. I could give two shits to anyone who thinks I overpaid/sold out/what-have-you because of the car I ended up with, but I bought it because it's the best I could get for my money, and it's the best vehicle I've ever owned.

And Alfa, I'm new to the bimmer community, but I'll try to promote nondickishness as best I can :)

One of my co-workers has a Mercedes-Benz C230 hatchback but guess why he comes to work in a Ford F-150 almost all the time.

Ill jump on the bandwagon too! I hate Mercedes. Theyre overpriced, underbuilt, and are generally crapboxes. BMWs may be driven by dicks and pricks, but they are some seriously well-engineered drivers' cars.

BMW is the driver's alternative to Mercedes. Sorry, Alfa. Even you know it's true.
