all germanic car drivers

[MrsBucketxx]

I know this is a thread about a thread, but it got me thinking its not just audi drivers tha are knobs.

bmw, mercedes, some vw, audi,

all high end german cars driven by people who have done well in life and have a higher opinion of themselves , and for somevreason drive like nut jobs.

aibu. for thinking this.

this doesn't seem to happen with french, italian, Asian car drivers.

YANBU

I'm definitely a twat

Yes, YABU - and jealous - and boring for starting yet another thread on the subject. :)

We've got a Renault and a VW so where does that leave us?

Ah well I drive an Audi and dh a Mercedes, so we are obviousy top twats. Our sons favourite car is an Audi r8! So I've bred a baby twat.

Would, you like salt and vinegar with that chip OP?

you are undoubtably correct , my fella, a truck driver/fitter daily drive is a Voltswagen (1970)camper van >0>60mph>23.5 seconds, 16 miles 2 gallon , spare wheel on outside of vehicle front ! has 2 be seriously serviced every 3000 miles ! he justifies it ?,something to do with the size of his cock ,? he read somewhere the longer a cars bonnet....! he is a smug bastard! he says the french built a motorcycle once , lasted about a week . i would tell you what BMW supposedly stands for but wow ,best not !

This again, it's pathetic. People who can afford them buy German cars as they are the best and not shitty pieces of tin like Renault and Peugeot.

Oh and both DH and I drive German cars, me a 3 series estate because its safe, big enough and terribly economical. DH drives an A5 as he needs a 4 wheel drive which is economical and again safe and thinks land rovers are overpriced.

But then we are the sort of people who couldn't give a shit what other people think about something as mundane about what make of car we drive.

I have a MINI and Dh a BMW. We are both twats and drive like knobs . What a ridiculous thread.

Dh drives a Mercedes and I have a Renault.
We are definitely the exception that proves your (sweeping) rule op.
Yabu

I do love my Renault though, much better in the snow as well.
Dh is a far better driver than me. I would never tell him that though.

I am going to go and watch Top Gear while sulking. I want all your nice cars.

I drive a ford some of the time and a BMW some of the time. I have not noticed my driving changing depending on which car I am in, so which camp do I fall in?

I'm just so glad my Merc, Milly, can't read. She'd be crying her beautiful shiny headlights out
Actually op you're partly right. We all drive like twats when we see you coming and everyone else who has an issue with our cars.
You're expecting bad behaviour and hence you see it.
When I drove my fiesta and let people out, 8 out of 10 people would thank me. If I'm driving the Mercedes then 8 out of 10 people don't thank me. I'm driving the same road. I'm doing the same thing (ie letting them out). The only difference is the car and their attitude to it.

Actually OP I think YANBU, I know the kind of drivers you mean and they often do have a fancy German motor. This made me laugh a lot first time I heard it (probably on Top Gear) but I do also accept there are many drivers of German cars who are not twats. I say this as a VW driver married to an Audi driver...I really hope our driving falls into the 'not twats' category.

at French cars being made of "tin and wishful thinking"!

I have a BMW. I am not a knob AND I use my indicators unusually for a BMW driver

I have no issue with German cars. It just always seems to be a German car menacing the road and I am on the road more than two hours a day. There are many German cars being driven fine I'm sure. BTW, I could afford one if I wanted one and if cars meant more to me than being a useful tool to get from A to B. Maybe I will some day. I really don't care what you drive and have no car jealousy.

ComposHat nope... Moon dust shooting out of my arse

I had a MG with a K series engine and I can confirm that the bloody head gasket did go very suddenly on the M5 one day. Twat of a car.

Cause and effect. Having a German car doesn't make you drive like a nutter but if you are that sort of person who shows off through driving you are going to want a showing off luxury badged car not just an old Mondeo. Then you zoom around giving a bad image to mild-mannered-but-comfortably-off fans of Vorsprung durch Technik.

Exactly, fossil.

Of course I have a 'higher' opinion of myself because I've done well in life.

I am Germanic, I drive a car. I would never go back to French cars, that's for sure!

My brother is a wanker though, and he drives a BMW!

I drive a Jag, by default I must be an utter cunty aresewipe.

However, at least I'm not driving a German car or folk would really despise me.
;)

YABU. Just concentrate on your driving and not what make of cars other people are driving or why.

I covet Citroën DSs, the proper old ones and the new ones. And I wouldn't say no to a Bugatti. Not all French cars are rubbish!

There are plenty more lovely French cars, but they're mostly very old.
