I think the guy in the blue jacket is holding a crack pipe. That could explain a lot. BTW: The last photo depicts what my wife refers to a "A Conference of Men." We've all done it--at a friend's garage, the parking lot at the mall, in front of Pep Boys, at the track, etc. Something happens, a hood goes up, and every male in a 1/4 mile radius saunters over, puts his hands in his pockets, and offers an opinion as to what the issue may be, or if obvious, how best to fix it. I usually mumble something about faulty muffler bearings and slip away.

My Ride: 2008 535i 6MT
I was once behind someone with a mattress tied on their roof which I watched become increasingly loose. I decided to back off and watch the fun. Yep, it went airborne and flipped onto the windshield blocking the drivers view. Fortunately they made it to the shoulder.
