Wow,
Already saw three M5s around here. Those guys were so arrogant. I saw them different times different days. Two of them (different days) got right next me and pressed the gas very hard so that I could hear their fine sound
They looked at me as if i am driving a crappy car. (noticed i did not make fun of any car companies like yugo..etc).
Yes yes..an M5 is an M5 but please dont let the air get too much in your head.

My Ride: (E60) 535D M-Sport (DMS)
Must have been a bad bunch or they were having a bad day.
I never turn my nose up at any other cars/owners. I had a 535d M-Sport before the M5 & an Audi RS6 before that.
People own different cars for different reasons & i know full well that the cars people drive are not really an indicator of wealth or status.

I've known a couple of people who drive cars worth approximately $20,000 more than my [lowly] e60, yet they drive them home and park it in the garage of the crappy apartment they are renting.
You would cry if you knew what Bill Gates is driving.

No matter what people are driving there is always going to be a couple people that think they're better than everyone else. You really can't do anything about it except ignore it.

I dont know maybe the "BUNCH" I saw around are not the nice type. I guess!
But i always think a car is a car..no matter if it is not as powerful or luxury as others..that is my thinking.
hey not every one can have my sense of humor or so down to earth

That's too bad the guy was a butthead. Most M5er's I know are good guys - not trying to impress people with their car (like some brands we know). I always welcome and exchange thumbs-up to a fellow car enthusiast no matter what he's driving.

My dad plastered Bill Gates' house and I just went salmon fishing in front of his house last weekend. His house and cars are insane. Sorry, I guess that's not really relevant to the convo.

It's a competitive world, so most people act that way, which doesn't justify anything. It helps to understand why people act the way they do.
There will always be a kid in the playground that's a show off, but with the passing of time, it all fades away. Such is life and we are all guilty of it at some point in our life. You'll be lying if you deny it.

Curious, what does Bill Gate drive? I thought he didn't drive because the bus was better on time.
