"Now, a couple of studies, one in the U.S. and another from the U.K., appear to provide statistical evidence that BMW drivers are, to be polite about it, complete jerks."

This was my favorite:

Drivers of BMWs and other high-status cars (including Prius hybrids) were also more likely to cheat at four-way-stop intersections, according to the research.

Prius drivers are the worst! Well at least second behind Porsche drivers. ON a semi related note. My first generation Blackberry would alway spell check Porsche to Prick. Ok, enough venting for now.

This sounds bad, I have not checked it yet.. However, I must agree, priuses are over hyped. Just get a golf tdi twin cam.

I saw a, errr, (I HATE to use this term) "drag race" between a prius and a nissan leaf the other day. They both pulled away from the stop light in a cloud of tire smoke, no... no it was completely uneventful and rather pitiful.

Like I mentioned at the club meeting tonight, this purely scientific and conclusive study proves, without a reasonable doubt, that VK is the nicest person on the face of the planet.

Channeling my inner VK...

This makes sense... they just got used to ignoring lights in addition to the CEL light.
