“but... an e90 is her dream car?”

Not only that the local police has identified improper use of turn signal as main factor to the carnage.

“And my guess is more BMW owners are enthusiasts than Corolla owners.”

I divide the enthusiasts in two groups: one that understands vehicle’s limitations (and has knowledge to work on cars themselves) and the other that is enthusiastic about racing you from one stop light to another :)

“I can’t wait till the day when I can order my car online and pick it up when it is ready. “

This right here for an example. Should I go through standard process at my Honda/Toyota dealership or I buy this Hyundai (with more or less same price and feature) but I do it “on my terms”.

“You can blame the owner as much as you want”

I wasn’t assigning exclusive blame to the owner. It is simply one of the factors for our analysis besides vehicle quality.

There is part of the customer base that will find extra maintenance burdensome. But will the increase be big enough to have them “jump the ship”?

“It’s definitely changed my opinion of European manufacturers”

Almost as if they are designed to give you just enough problems so you find it more appealing to go visit the showroom :)

You can usually make a case for “I want something different” but not in this market segment (Accord/Camry/Sonata). They all look “the same” and your average customer has cost of ownership and reliability as priorities.

Customer service (dealership and service) would be one way to differentiate.

“I’m all for it, but that would be a huge blow to Mini. They just got BMW engines this 3rd generation.”

“I’ve inspected the blown guts of a number of not that old BMW engines”

How much of that (if any) do you attribute to lack of proper maintenance and owner’s driving habits?

“Where are you to see folks eating the McDonald’s if you’re not in the joint yourself (inside this blog’s comment section yourself)?”

a. My date is late and I have walked in to take a piss
b. Returning a Redbox movie
c. Parked in front and using wi-fi

“we can’t profile,and risk being racist”

More like seeing someone else eat McDonald’s, pointing out that its bad for them then proceed to laugh when they a. get “red in the face” explaining how it is actually good for them and/or b. proclaim how smart/special snowflake/cool they are for eating it.

I thought Candidate Clinton urged public to look past fake news? It is dependent on one’s intellect though.

Absolutely. Congress was composed of GOP members exclusively and even if there were some Democrats it would be the last thing on their mind to look for compromise. If only this bill had been worked on later in Senate they could’ve passed it to the tune of $2.37B.

What really is important here is that Embassy staff…

That email containing video of Ms. Lewinski performing fellatio was labeled with “C”. Many smart people have debated and ultimately found to be in a agreement that is absolutely the last thing they would have thought of.

You are hammering in your point I’ll give you that. Side piece, “War on women”, 1930s Germany,…

As someone who every civilized and tolerant person would best describe as deplorable I too am looking forward Mr. Trump ruling unrestrained by Constitution, Senate or House of Representatives (much like the 1930s Germany).

Often referred to as “pen and a phone” this style of Governance...

“I mean womens and gays rights.”

I’m with HER!

And it totally worked! It is going to a smoothing sailing from this point on.

My dilemma is this: should I use my own head to think or rely on foreign policy and military EXPERTS earning living on a Gawker related blog.
