They just say, "you're a bimmer boy now" whatever that means. Have an X5 M60i and drive it cautiously because of our kiddo. Use turn signals and all that. However, we do get a little rowdy and turn the Bowers & Wilkins up a little higher than usual when baby shark comes on. People always judge us but hey, don't let the haters bring you down!

Well, I’m not so sure about that. I always use my signal, but I don’t use it the very last minute. I also don’t use them to ask permission. I use them early when appropriate like when I have a turn coming up. When I’m changing lanes I signal just before or as I’m doing it as the circumstance dictates. A lot of people probably think I have an attitude. I drive with purpose, not passively, which is the way everyone should drive.

Diesel pickups and sports bikes.

Exactly. Especially when they tailgate speed and weave in traffic more than me. Morons.

At least in tristate Altimas seem to be the worst and some of them are rough with multiple damaged panels, scratches and taped up mirrors, bumpers etc. They must be giving them away

[Ugly Kar]

According to this Ram truck drivers are the worst and this is supported by my own experience. They think they own the road. Telsa drivers suck too. BMW not near as bad, but not good either. Some do think public roads are a racetrack.

Using the Carlin dichotomy, the morons around me are all in either in a RAV4/CRVs, Prius, Tesla, or Subaru. Safety first people, driving to save the planet!

The maniacs weaving in and out of traffic are almost always in Acuras or Lexi, sometimes Supras or Nissan Z type cars. Now and then a BMW, Benz, or Cadillac, usually paired up with one of the above (they seem to travel in pairs). I guess there is also the occasional angry Brodozer tailgating everyone, late to their Klan rally.

Everyone has a reputation. Where I live it’s rednecks in pickups. Drive in either direction on I-77 and you’ll find that ppl from OH are left lane loafers. Then there’s the FOP in FL….yikes. For the record I’m a redneck and a FOP and like Raymond from Rain Man, “I’m an excellent driver”.

Anybody know which fuse to pull for ‘25 G87 turn signals.

I’ve accidentally used them twice in the past 5-6 months.

Pretty sure the turn signal arrows on the cluster are just simulators
