New Today I learned some Cooper drivers are frustrated BMW drivers.
In the sense of the old joke, "What's the difference between a BMW and a porcupine? The porcupine has the pricks on the outside."

I almost moved to Newport Beach once, but the City Council found out my parents were married at the time of my birth and they said they couldn't break precedent for just me.

New If that ain't Al Punte, I don't know a spear-chucker from a bludgeon-swinger.
I mean.. all-along I wondered 'the appeal?' of this almost- a swinky-car, given the aforementioned sloppy Q.C.
THIS [frames] the er, Issue more-better. It's the modrin morphing of that window-placard, B.O.B.: Baby On Board (!)
aka *MY* very-Special Baby (fuck Yours) wants YOU to back-off (your perpetual Tail-gating) etc.
The United States of Branding-everone nearby.. with some fucking fav-Guesstimate!

Loved the porcupines R'Us.. of so many BMWers encountered; (locally, especially in tony Marin county), we-the-unwashed
define as: Boring Marin Wheels; similar more scatological argot. It Is all about a broadcast-Attitude via car-badge, innit?

tl;dr: "E Pluribus pluribus", worn on one's sleeve akin ~ the ✝ self-ID.


While auditioning a friend's Subaru™ for a few weeks, have teh impression that This marque-also appears to be a strange-attractor for
{I know not what?} unifying-solidarity-Message--yet). This grates upon my Main Principle, as a Marxist!
I refuse to join any Org which accepts people like me. OK-IWE gets a pass.. 'I contain multitudes'.
RIP Groucho ..you brightened many a day with your two-(or three)-Edged quips ..on any topic raised.
