RL owners nicer than others?

I've found that just about every RL owner I have met is actually very nice, and much nicer than owners of other makes and models. Do you think this is true?

You're asking this in an Rl forum and expecting to get an honest answer...of course we are nice, we own one of the better cars out there, why be grumpy

Well I've never met another RL owner so have no empirical evidence upon which to base an answer. I'll wager a guess, though, and say "no", RL owners aren't nicer than owners of other cars (nor are they less nice). It's way too big a world to try and determine naughty and nice quotients based upon such a micro sampling.

I was seeing a BLUE 05RL parking on the street next to my house yesterday. While passing it, he just smiled and walked out of his car... can I say he's nicer than others?

True, but look at the demographics of people who buy this car.

I have a few other cars as well, and it seems like everybody I run into either have a big chip on their shoulder or is just a total jerk, and I know there are rotten apples everywhere, but every RL owner I saw at the dealership was very nice.


Well, there was one guy who kept sitting in my car and refused to come out even though there was a big SOLD sign on it. I'm convinced he's the one who broke my cigarette lighter!!

Each time I've been waved to or greeted by another new RL owner, the experience has been especially nice, the smiles especially big. In actual fact, we probably aren't any nicer that other folks, but from what I've seen so far, we're certainly coming off that way.

I doubt it. The only theory I could see to back this up is that the group buying the RL are people who don't mind their car to be understated and all that and that could mean they are generally nicer than those who want a "show off" car.

I wouldnt clump myself into the nice category. I mean I am nice to people I like and basically neutral to strangers but I also can be a real prick and be very mean if I get annoyed.

You're in the RL, and she's probably in a mini-van. What'd you expect? :wink:

#1, sadly, stopped saying anything to anyone 15 years after the divorce. #2 would probably say we're nice, but that could be because she "goes to meetings," and I think acceptance is part of the program. #3 is the one who almost never lies. She thinks we're realy really REALLY nice.
Be good...

My wife never says that. She's very smart. She only thinks it.

I haven't ever been close enough to another RL owner to know if they are nice.

BTW.. I could say the same for those who drive Porsche 996 TT or MB SL500 since I own those also. They tend to smile and wave all the time depending which car I am driving.

So if I had to guess my answer is YES, RL owners are especially nice to other RL owners.
