> Beemer drivers used to have a bad reputation along similar lines, but since a large second-hand market established itself, the BMW isn't as prestigious here as it used to be. Around here, BMW is an ultimate wannabe brand, usually bought (very) used by some young guys, full of testosterone and not very smart. If there's a tragic accident where a car full of people steers off an empty road, hits a tree and kills everyone in it, during the middle of a weekend night, it's usually a BMW too (the scenario is usually such that a group of young people are coming back home from some disco and the owner, young, stupid and possibly drunk, is trying to impress them with his driving).
