I was crossing the street when the little crosswalk sight said walk! The lady driving the 335i was on her iPhone, and she just drove right through the intersection (I was already half way into it) not even looking to see if anyone was there. Shame.

Did you flip her off?

Did you whip your dick out and pee in her direction?

Why did this lady bother paying extra for a 335i if she is the type who is on her phone while driving?

She could have been a more frugal asshat-ette if she had bought the 328i

Many Jalop points awarded for noting the exact model designation of the car that nearly ran you over...

You alright? Some people really need to get it through their heads that they are driving two ton killing machines if they arent paying attention.

No. It wouldn't have helped anything anyway. She's clearly grounded in her ways.

I don't know. Maybe she's married, and the husband bought the car.

Did you break her windows?

Yes. Just a little agitated. Most BMW drivers are fine, but there are a few that can't be helped.

That could seriously be my mother, if it was a blue e93 328. She always talks on the phone while driving. Finally got a ticket for it last week. Also, since she's started driving a Bimmer, her driving has gotten worse. She a very nice lady who's charitable, but my god, I think when you have the Bavaria rondel on your hood you automatically turn into an ass. Yes, I also fall under this category.

Nope. She sped away.

Almost a hit and run you could have gotten a lot of money and broken bones

I always make a point to slam my hand flat on a window as they go by. Usually scares the shit out of them.

Around me, most BMW drivers are fine, but there are a group that are all out stereotypical BMW driver.

Great point. If she wasn't paying for it then it wouldn't have mattered as much.

More likely she had to have white with a moon roof, and that's all the dealer had on the lot.

Manuél Ferrari > CRider
04/21/2014 at 18:54

Haha very likely.

And maybe she noticed the slightly different front end and thought it looked more Grounded to the Ground.

CRider > Manuél Ferrari
04/21/2014 at 18:58

Or maybe the salesman asked her what she wanted her payments to be and gave her the 335i because it cost more and he could just lengthen the loan term to, say, 144 months.

Haha that is possible.

I knew this guy in college who nothing about cars or finances. He went by himself to buy a new Nissan. He came out with a new car and a 12% interest rate.

I nearly died laughing when he told me.

CRider > Manuél Ferrari
04/21/2014 at 19:12

I bet he was really happy about the deal he got. Did you break it to him easy, beat him over the head with it or is ignorance bliss?

Manuél Ferrari > CRider
04/21/2014 at 19:14

It was impossible to leave him in bliss. He told me and 3 other guys. We couldn't help by laugh and tell him he got screwed.

We didn't think to tell him that he could refi it. He probably stuck with that loan for years, haha

CRider > Manuél Ferrari
04/21/2014 at 19:23

And that's what makes you a great friend, you watch him get burned, laugh about it and don't tell them how to fix it. That's funny!

Manuél Ferrari > CRider
04/21/2014 at 19:25

We were all true bros to him!

CRider > Manuél Ferrari
04/21/2014 at 19:30

The total laugh value is probably higher than the interest over time.

Manuél Ferrari > CRider

He also had two different color eyes and looked like a hobit. Laughs were a plenty
