The Ultimate BMW BuzzKill Thread

BzzzBom · 05-28-2009, 04:58 PM

What is the ultimate BuzzKill for you while driving your car. The top ones for me are:
1. Those fucking Jacaranda trees
2. Driving on the freeway behind an open bed truck carrying gravel
3. Driving in stop and go traffic in front of a soccer mom in a SUV who is drinking an iced latte while text messaging

What are your BuzzKill nightmares.

jopa489 · 05-28-2009, 05:06 PM

Hmm, those are pretty tough to beat.

1. People poking along in the passing lanes on the highway, being passed on the left and right. This type of person can often be seen in an econobox, and is clueless as to what is going on around them. Furthermore, they will simply never understand why they are in the wrong in this situation.

I'm sure there's more that aggravate me, but that's my top complaint. Absolutely can't stand it.

dumass infiniti drivers ( not hating i used to own one too, but wouldnt drive like an asswhole )

I hate people who tailgate n come into my ass, and i hate it when people take an hour to change a lane on the freeway once you give then the dam space.

People not accelerating up to highway speed when driving on the ramp feeding into the highway.

Entering a freeway going 40 with me behind them, really only endangering me and my passengers!

Getting a thumbs up from another BMW driver in a kraut-ricer with tons of plastic shit on their car

BzzzBom · 05-28-2009, 06:01 PM

People asking about my beemer (BMW motorcycle) or not as bad, bimmer (still a bit tacky - like calling San Francisco, "Frisco")

BzzzBom · 05-28-2009, 06:02 PM

Following a car with one brake light out so it looks like they are signaling in stop and go traffic.

People that do not understand that you DO NOT drive in the left lane on the interstate. It is for passing.... get over there pass, then get back. I HATE getting stuck behind some dumba** that is cruising at 70 in the passing lane.

From what i have seen it tends t be mostly people with East Coast plates....

i agree with this

i also hate crotch rockets (350z, sti's, evos) the worst is when they are weaving in and out of traffic

driving in germany was so much better, everyone gets out of the left lane except for passing and most normal single lane roads allowed passing.

You chasing after me while I am getting a bj from your GF, her accidentally shifting into manual, therefore grinding my gears, and you slamming into us, turning her jawbone into a guillotine FTL.

I'm totally kidding saint....

My Ultimate BMW buzzkill:

I look at my savings account and don't see $30,000 in it

Being a freshman college student who loves BMWs sucks sometimes, especially with a job in the IT department that doesn't pay enough. 3 years is my goal to getting it. Must..be..patient..!

jetblk328i · 05-28-2009, 06:54 PM

people who either:

1.dont signal when they are about to turn
2. signal and they dont turn

and when you are stopped in front of a stop light and some teen makes the turn slightly too sharp and almost scrapes your car.
