Oh but I do know. You associate them with what we associate them with....


Fat, greasy-ass uneducated blue-collar slob American redneck pigs that live in rural farmlands and/or soccer moms in the SUV's, perhaps?

I wonder if all the Porsche Cayenne, Range Rover, and BMW X5 (to name a few) owners are aware of this stigma? How can they even afford such a vehicle? I wonder what the one-size-fits-all description is for e60 owners?

Welcome to your new 5er!

I have a RR and I wasn't aware of this stigma. I am, however, acutely aware of the social stigma that goes along with rocking a Magnum P.I.-like Moustache.

The one size fits all discription for e60 owners... How about pretentious, suit and tie wearing, expresso drinking, panini eating, F1 fanboys? Bwahahaha!!
