Last night a made one little joke that seems to have made VWvortex come after me, and make statements about how VW reliability jokes are like automotive black face. So, who are the most defensive, "how dare you make fun of my brand?!??!" brand fanbois out there?

Volkswagen, BMW, Ferrari.

Honda.

+Acura in the case of the Integra.

Edit: Oh, die-hard, I thought you meant most annoying. Honda fanbois tend to abandon their VTAK, BRO! after they grow up/gain some sense.

Now that I think about it, yes.

VW people are mostly all major douches, BMW people are mostly the same but there's probably less of them, and Ferrari owners usually have more than one car that isn't a Ferrari.

Saab. The brand has been gone for 2 years and the fans still follow with reckless abandon, hoping for a Jesus-like return.

Thats the idea.

To support this claim, the forum commuity and west coast miata scene idolizes (and for good reason) a gay man and his completely awesome Pit Crew fastback roadster. He does a lot for the scene out there.

I think Honda fanbois can still be die-hard.

There's a million "B18c vs. Corvette" youtube videos that end as you'd expect them to, yet they're generally full of random excuses for why the Honda guy didn't "win." Maturity doesn't always correct the issue.

Yeah but you said "all."
I have a VW. I'm mostly not an asshole. Some of the time. Occasionally.

The MKIV knuckledraggers basically give the entire scene a bad name. Just like the MKIV gives VW reliability a bad name. I would say that 80% of what is wrong with VW and the community can be directly linked to a MKIV.

I agree with you actually. Every time I notice a fast VW it's because the driver is being a douche. Golf R drivers are the nicest people I've ever met though.

Truth. A few poorly modified 1.8t A4-platform cars basically ruin it for everybody. For whatever reason, that generation of the Golf/Jetta attracted the worst of the worst.

And there are good people and some really awesome cars within that crowd, too, but it's hard to find them amid all the helladope bros with an ECU reflash thinking they are Dahlback Racing Junior.

But but but!

BMW people can't be mostly the same anymore because BMW expanded its product line so much.

In the old days there were 3 main models - the 3 Series, 5 Series and 7 Series. They were the "same sausage, different lengths" both in design language and how they drove. The 5 drove like a bigger 3 and the 7 drove like a bigger 5.

But now the 5 drives like a shorter 7 and the 7 drives like an S Class. The X6 thing exists and M cars have gone with forced induction and electric power steering. Many BMWs drive differently and appeal to different people. I dunno if we can really say that there is one group of "BMW People" left. There used to be a lot of people who didn't really know what made BWMs cool but bought them for the badge. A lot of them have left for Audi and are now Audi People.

BMW People are now a pretty diverse mix that include enthusiasts, bros, badge chasers, soccer moms, SUV coupe lovers, weekend track warriors, douchebags, business men, business women, best lease deal chasers, and whatever else I'm forgetting.

BTW I drove to Beverly Hills last night and saw the Audi Migration in full effect. There were way more new Audis than BMWs. I saw one A7 stopped behind another A7 at a red light. That's never happened before. Then a minute later a different A7 tail gated me on a low speed limit street and then tried and failed to pass me on a right hand lane that ended. I'm so glad a lot of the BMW douches have left for Audi. They're making Bimmer drivers look less annoying :)

In case you haven't heard, it happened. They're making 9-3s at a rate of about 10 per week under the Chinese company that bought Saab. So yeah. Returned.

Hahaha hopefully when I'm your age they will have all migrated away from the one true path that is BMW. I can agree about the diversity when it comes to owners, which is why I didn't rank them number one. I think more pictures/videos of Audi drivers being douches need to be shot to show what they've become.

Wow. Just wow.

The only way I can ever trade in the 997 without pissing off the Porsche gods is if I get a GT3, GT3 RS, or RSR.

What's funny is that a 991 GT3 would actually be way more comfy on bad roads and in bad traffic than the 997 due to PASM and PDK. Also the 991 has a longer wheelbase which soaks up bumps better.

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari 04/09/2014 at 14:35

Yep, like I said yesterday, more focused on luxury then ever. I'd DD the shit out of a GT3. And a GT2 RS.

Subaru fanboys hands down. I was at a C&C listening to some 20-something pizza delivery boy with a bug eye wagon and may have casually said "The Saab 9-2x suspension was much better" just to get a rise out of him. I had to walk away when he started foaming at the mouth

New dream way of filling my 4 car garage:

E90 M3 Sedan
991 GT3
458 Spider successor
Aston V12 Vantage successor

Funny thing is that the GT3 would be the most fuel efficient of the group. So the race car would be the most economical car to put serious miles on.

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari 04/09/2014 at 14:49

I'd love to see what the V12 Vantage successor looks like, if it comes with a manual it should be amazing. Have you put a deposit down on the 458 successor yet?!

And dat 9000rpm redline

Haha no. But I did get all my credit card balances to zero. And I might be able to pay off half of the 401K loan soon. Huge debt reduction strides to help bring on moar debt :)

It would just make so much sense for Aston to create a V12 Vantage successor with an MT. Aston is the perfect company to do this.

They are already more about feel, looks and sound than performance stats. Nobody buys a Vantage to get the best stats. A turbo V8 will outperform most N/A V12s. You get the V12 for the sound and the balance. It's a very old-school way to go. And what's more old school these days than an MT?

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari 04/09/2014 at 15:00

Aston knows how to make cars that transcend the "performance" aspect of buying an expensive car. People buy them simply because they are Aston Martin, and they know what they stand for.

The way I see it, Subaru fans can fall at either side of the scale. I know a lot of Subaru owners who are the most reasonable fans of all time, but I've also run into those, usually WRX drivers, that refuse to believe that anything on the planet can even begin to comprehend the greatness that is their 10 year old rusty crap can.

I have two VWs. Both have three-letter names, and they are considered desirable by the fanbois. One is even a diesel wagon. They are very nice cars. That said:

I hate the foggen VW fanbois. Tho really, I hate all fanbois. Why not just, you know, have a life and an identity that is not all wrapped up in your vehicle? And maybe get a real job and even have sex once in a while? That fanboi-ism should clear right up when you do those things.

From personal experience, Audi. Especially the newer LED clad models.

Nothing against the brand, but some of the fans tend to go a bit far.
