I'm thinking of getting an '85 Thunderbird, just because.

I wish I could have, by some miracle of finance, kept my '85 535i.  I had a steady girlfriend at the time, but that car could have gotten me a lot of action.  It certainly garned more comments and compliments than any car I've ever owned since then.

The BMW marquee has been: deflated.  Half of the ones around here are driven by black dudes.

Around here, 100% of them are driven by complete assholes.

This was a 1985 though.  It was still - quirky looking, but could also fly when I had the chance.  And besides I owned it in university, so to university girls it gained a lot of attention.

The other 50% are salesmen who want you to think they're successful just 'cause they drive a BMW. ^_^

Come on people, the BMWs sold here are manufactured in FREAKING SOUTH CAROLINA.

I agree - although I certainly wouldn't say no to a modern BMW, it would have far less appeal than an older model to me.

I was talking about the ones driven by black dudes and jerk salesmen here and now.  I can't be bothered to follow along with your little sidebar conversation.  -_-

BMW drivers have a pretty piss poor rep.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Ugly.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

 :huh: It's not an ugly car.  Remember, cars started getting really streamlined only in the 90s.

:yes: I'm actually nostalgic about the shitbox style of the early 1908ies.  Nostalgia is a funny thing.
