Are we snobs?
My proof? Yea the garden state parkway, NJ turnpike & rte 287 thats my proof & I drive over 20,000 miles a year. More proof? Very close cop friend of mine here in NJ. Take a 20 yr old with rich parents who just bought them a new BMW & mix in "I'm spoiled" and tell me the end result? Yea, there are other jerkoffs driving like that but the top of the list is BMW.
Oh, and I'm pretty sure, that I didn't magically become a snob seven weeks ago when I bought my USED BMW for less than I paid for my TL that I only sold three weeks ago. Are you starting to see how silly your line of argument is?
Bitter? Nahh I have friends in high places. Ohh I forgot to mention my friends brother is a NJSP trooper, here's how the typical story goes particulary on a weekend:
Report of reckless driver SB or NB on GSP, description of vehicle: BMW, Color: ANY # of occupants: Unknown
So, he'll sit between the median & sure enough 15 minutes later here comes the BMW in the left or right lane doing 90mph+, pull them over & out comes the rich, snobby attitude. "You can't give me a ticket! My dad is a lawyer, My dad is a doctor, blah blah blah"
Here's your WOOD.

do u have any clue how dumb u sound saying that?
keep it up though, ur making my morning
Ohh no, you're BOTH right, I'll take your word any day over 2 well respected Police officers who EACH have 25+ years OTJ. Plus I guess I need glasses, apparantly I'm mistaking honda civics with fart cans for BMW's on the road. 
Careful driving out there, those TL drivers have bent up rage.

I'm going to bow out for now. Lest anyone accuse me of "running away" - I'll be spending the next six hours driving half-way home from Salt Lake City. I've been on a road trip to visit my Dad's grave for the first time since I was here for his funeral nine years ago...perhaps the circumstances of my trip have made me a little more touchy.
i'm just saying, coming from "that side of the fence" it's an attitude that he will get flak for. i've been there, i was 19 when i bought my S4, and it inflated my ego massively. i've since learned, and now am extremely modest. his post was not modest.
@ other guy...how can a general stereo type that wasn't even directed to him (since he hadn't posted yet) as a personal attack? that is an asinine assumption. does he yell at Jeremy Clarkson through his TV when they say BMW drivers are snobs? i doubt so.
sarcasm is an attitude....the red font? more attitude. rolls eyes? moarrrrr attitude.
counter-effective arguments for the win

Oh, and I was invited by someone to respond to this thread...let's not get ahead of ourselves.

dude. are you fucking kidding?
bitching about entitled attitudes of people based on family and friends.
then you come back "GUYS I KNOW COPS"
I'm almost speechless at this. The 22 year old thinks he has more "experience" than the 39 year old. You do know that the written media of the Internet makes it difficult to identify the "voice inflection" of a post, right?

and dude, i'm not attacking you. i'm waiting for the rest of the board to freak out @ your comments, because you aren't being obvious enough with your sarcasm for most.

Guys......warning.
Wow..........when I saw the title of this thread, I just knew it would be trouble.
Guys, the personal attacks need to stop. Otherwise I'm closing this thread....last warning.
On a personal note, I try to make my Type S look nice and noticeable. If someone comments or waves to me because of it...great. If they don't, no big deal. I love my Type S-and that's all that counts.
You can always tell the enthusiasts-they mod their cars. And, you can always tell the people who drive their car because it gets them from Point A to Point B. They don't even have tint on their windows.

so the car can sometimes make the driver (spoiled 20 yr old (insert nice car here) driver), but its usually the driver that has issues regardless of the vehicle driven.
But, seriously...I've never understood how a freaking hunk of metal on round rubber can inflate a person's sense of self-worth. 
I drive what I want because I can A) afford it and most importantly B) I like it. Obviously, it matters to me that the car is generally accepted as a reliable and good choice by enthusiasts...but, otherwise, in terms of my self-worth. Nope.
My "ego" consists of my education, work experience, and what I've learned from my peers/parents/mentors in life...everything else is material. And again, who cares.

People confuse ego with pride.
My car gives me a lot of pride. It's certainly the nicest car I've owned to this point.
In turn I like to display that pride by keeping it looking good and driving appropriately.
