Car vandalism
Posted by: Dungassin on 02 May 2013
Well, some evil little moron decided to 'key' my new car while it was parked outside my daughter's house this afternoon. Can't imagine why (jealousy?), but I'd love to know who it was so that I could inflict some damage to something he/she values.
My hairdresser has the same car. She absolutely loves it. Can do wheel spins at the lights but also enough space for her shopping.
My wife has one too. Exactly the same as mine, but in dark gray. In fact, she had hers before I had mine (by about 10 days). She gets a lot of attention from the younger guys on the road, driving her Japanese muscle car around.

My father-in-law has one. It's a fun drive, for sure. I have owned 2 WRXs (1 an STI) in the past.
Got the car back from its repair. Like new!

Excellent news. Hope you can now begin to forget this act of vandalism and get back to enjoying your new BMW.

I pay my taxes as well.
That's very honourable of you Don, we are mighty impressed.
As a two-car owner, I also pay twice for the road-fund licence which is designed to cover the capital cost and maintenance cost of our roads.
May I remind you, that as a two car owner, you are also polluting the environment more than a single car owner, let alone a bicyclist. But who cares right? Global warming? An illusion on planet moon?
I can only use one of these cars at any one time. Neither car causes any significant wear on our roads.
Ah, I see, not your cars, just all the other cars, and HGV's of course....
Cyclists don't cause any wear or tear either but they do occupy the road network and cause congestion that would otherwise not exist.
That's right, it's those bastard bicyclists causing all those traffic jams the world over! 
Cyclists per-se, do not pay for the use of space on our roads. They should pay (just as I have to for my second car). Because they don't, I classify them as parasites. No offense chaps (and chapesses), simply factual.
I completely agree mate, bloody hell, about time somebody said so!
No offense, really, all good.
Cheerio!!

Try this. Take a little notebook with you in your car. Mark down each time a bicycle impedes your forward progress, and each time another car impedes your forward progress. Perhps try to estimate on any given trip, how much of your time is spent going slower than you'd like because of bikes, and how much is spent going slower because of cars. I'd be interested in the results.
As another exerciose, now imagine those pesky, parasitic cyclists in cars instead, adding to the car traffic.
Don't forget, you're not "stuck in traffic" you ARE the traffic.

I should come clean and admit that this traffic jam is actually being caused by two cyclists a bit further up the road riding two abreast. If those free-loading parasites would just get out of the damn way, the cars would flow freely.
