      To be fair, the mere fact that there exists an association between bmw drivers and a lack of proper use of turn signal left me a non BMW customer from the start.

      Hey BMW, if you want more folks to buy your cars, stop marketing to douchebags.

      Or don’t, idgaf. On my 7th Subaru now. Still very happy.

          Joke answer:

          For em!

          Real answer: if we aren’t mutually agreeing that fucking is on the table then idgaf what you do.

          I’d say libertarian, but… ya know…

        I used to ask tow truck drivers (when I occasionally met one) which brand car they tow the most. It was always without hesitation “Subarus”

          I have driven about 1.5M miles over 7 Subarus.

          Only issues I ever had were a cracked gasket (part recalled, fixed for free), and occasional alignment issues when I was younger that were more my fault than anything.

      Well you got out early then. If you kept looking you would have seen the XM. That’s the thing that stopped me from looking. They clearly have no soul whatsoever.
