...is that there are way too many idiots who own them. For example, this guy, who is not only a moron, but might have also been driving drunk too based on the comments. (I
believe
this post can be seen publicly...)

Not drunk I think, just stupid. That group is the single worst auto group I belong to on FB.

But I agree, I’ve never owned a car before that I continually thought of selling due only to the nature of the average owner.

I expected so much more from a Toyobaru in Joisey.
One good retort though:
Dude since your car is [censored] are you selling your seats?

Meh, there are better things to worry about.
I have a 328i, same model that is being leased to curb hopping, lane barging, do 60km/h-on-the-left-lane-of-a-freeway Asian housewives. I can drive into a mall with rows of the same car, only thing standing out is the lack of an xDrive badge.
Doesn’t bother me much.

They did expose the whole 167 (or was it 405) incident when some guy crashed his stanced FRS... I can’t remember the whole context of it but it was pretty much an e-fight.

I’ll just say a lot of motorists here are likely new to driving in the western world, and there are a couple of F30s in my section of the garage in my building alone - they are like a Corolla here.

if you read further down the FB thread, someone posted his status update from a couple hours prior where he was “drinking beer” at some bar and grill. He may have not been entirely squiffed but had at least one sheet to the wind.
That group is the single worst auto group I belong to on FB.
and if I read that thread right, he got booted from it too.

Looks like it’s on some sort of solid rear axle like a super cheap hatch but they’ve welded the end back at an angle. Stupid sketchy.

Owner stereotypes aren’t a good reason not to buy a car, imo. If I felt otherwise, I wouldn’t have joined the vaping, flat-brim hat wearing dudebros that own WRXs. I like the way it drives, so I bought it.

Ah yeah, the lease merry go round. I haven’t noticed that on the ones in the garage.
I drive a MB W212, which has similar stereotype possibilities. It’s a Bluetec though, which differentiates it a bit.

W212 is a rare sight around here though, mostly W204s which are all now W205s or CLAs. It’s actually rare to see a W204 now.
"fintail" (fintail)
03/17/2017 at 14:54, STARS: 0
Plenty of them here, due to cheap subsidized leases I think. It’s the Bluetec or oddly optioned cars that are set apart.
I notice the same with CLA and W205 here - seems like I see as many as W204, even though the W204 was on the market for a long time. Where did they go?

But at least its a Dodge Neon SRT 4. Essentially you own prime property that people climb over Dodge Darts and vanilla Mitsubishi Lancer ES’s for. Your car also came from the factory with more torque than the torque used to twist the cap on a mountain dew bottle.
(will never forget that torque sad civic reference)
