OT: Anything Goes 38

[BK]

I don't find drivers to be terrible by make. What class of vehicle they drive is the determining factor. Hybrid drivers and crossover drivers take the cake. It's not even close.

I can agree here.

 

[ChiHawks10]

No way BMW drivers are the absolute worst.

Subaru drivers are worse than BMW drivers. AINEC. I've never seen a Subaru driver who could actually drive.

Oh piss off. I drive a Subaru!


But I’m judging all the bad drivers I see based off what I see while cycling.

Subaru drivers are either soccer moms who traded in their mini van for a crossover, for the safety record, or kids who don't know how to drive their WRX or STI, or even how to shift a manual trans for that matter. Sorry Ray. Lol.

I can't even count the times I'm on the highway and a f***ing Subaru driver won't move out of the left lane, and forces you to pass them on the right.

Funny, out in Utah and Colorado they’re so common that they don’t stand out. It’s probably why so many Audi and BMW drivers standout as being such assholes there.

The massive pickups out there while annoying are usually a non issue.

But down here in Florida all drivers are absolute shit.

Oh, those Florida drivers ....

Dude it’s so bad it’s not even maddening. It’s mesmerizing.

The number of confederate flags would turn me off, personally. And for the school system supposedly being so good, there sure are a whole shitload of ignorant mother f***ers there. I loathe going into the stores in NW Indiana. Last time I was at Cabela's I would have thought I had leprosy with how I was looked at for wearing a f***ing mask... No thanks.

Didn't know that was the case, if so I agree.

 

[hawksrule]

Nah. Prius, Mitsubishi Eclipse, and pickup (one who don’t need them) drivers are the worst.

In the spirit of honesty, I drive a BMW.

I too like the German cars, but I have a preference for Audi. Mercedes is a terrible bang for the buck.

I used to love Audi. I had a S4 then an A6. The A6 was a complete lemon and it ruined me.

It was hyperbole but Indiana is an extremely racist state.

Audi are total shit nowadays. My buddy is a master mechanic at Audi.

I also had an S4. Loved that car.

Nonsense.

Nonsense.

Lol. Ok. I wouldn't trust the guy that works on them every day or anything.

Everything I hear from my buddies that are into cars is how much better Audis are these days.


I’m not a car guy at all, though.

 

[hawksrule]

Lol. Ok. I wouldn't trust the guy that works on them every day or anything.

I mean, I've owned two Audis and they were both great cars. Drove superb, great engines, beautiful and comfortable interiors. Your friend may not like them for who knows why, but to say they are total shit is plain nonsense.

What years?

They have improved recently, but here's a pretty good article that explains why they are not a good buy, still.

He works on them every day and is intimately familiar with their flaws. I'm going to go with that experience over you owning two of them, and probably getting lucky.

2006 Audi S4 and a 2011 Q7.

I also had an S4. Loved that car.

I loved it as well. So much fun to drive.

My new BWM is fun to whip around in. Not M5 fun but fun.

There’s nothing that makes me zone out faster than car talk.

Yeah. You missed their window of total suck. Lol

 

[hawksrule]

If you're talking about the '80s-'90s, then yeah, they were notoriously unreliable, but they were acquired and are basically a different company from back then.

They started the downward trend in 2008 or so. The overwhelming majority of their models from 2008 up, are an absolute nightmare to own. The link I provided, has some good references, to show this. The Q7 you had was one of the exceptions.

I love the look and performance of Audi, but if I'm spending that much on a luxury vehicle, Audi is my last choice.
