How do you know that's not just their beater or errand car? Maybe there's a La Ferrari in their garage and they just use this for composting or recycling?

Not sure why you'd bag on someone who's driving a vehicle that's not as fast as yours or expensive, but looks to be in decently well maintained shape... Seen far worse...

So my caption would probably be - "douche bmw driver thinks they are superior to mock someone else's car..." :

I'm not nearly as clever as shoei so i'd just say that posting a picture of a reasonably nice daily driver vehicle deserves no caption.

Living in the Midwest I'm utterly amazed by the lack of rust. Nice truck, I'd drive it.

I think he's referring to the split five spoke wheel that's been paired to a large suv...

Not sure what's wrong with the pic.

M parallels look good on that truck.

As a matter of fact they look good any damn car.

I *think* thats a factory option. I recall seeing these vehicles around here with the same wheels on it.

Or maybe that's just a popular wheel to put on the vehicle.

Still don't see a problem.

So yeah I think maybe you assume that I'm "bagging" on the car itself, or the driver, or...something. But no.

As a former E38 owner, and E34 owner, and E39 owner I appreciate a decent set of M Parallels when I see them. So I noticed these, but they seemed a bit out of place.

Factory option.. I seen a bunch of them around NJ..


But hang on I'll caption it..

3 Series driver, who's car is often used as a cab in Europe, feels the need to insult other drivers in order to boost his sense of self-worth, and pat himself on the back for his entry level luxury car purchase. Many first time 3 series owners tend to suffer from what many refer to as the dreaded, BMW douche bag syndrome.. It is a debilitating mental disorder that makes one feel that his mass produced $50k car is actually a $300k exotic race car.

All fun and games guys

Nothing is wrong per se. But when I saw the truck all I could think of was where did he find some M Pars to throw on that? Center caps are removed, I wonder if he realizes how sought after these wheels are?

Hence the caption, I just thought of an uncle who's perhaps handsome (the truck looks fine) but a little over the hill (the truck is old, period) and tries to keep up with fashion. Because...well I've already explained.

Really? That's actually impressive. I stand corrected. BUT STILL, when I see these wheels all I can think of is how hard they were to come by when I used to.hunt for sets.

Just think, a GMC owner could have helped you out.

Nothing in your title suggests this softened stance... Handsome? Wanting to be fashionable? Nah... You just automatically assumed someone had M wheels on a GMC and wanted us to all shame the car...

I've seen those on C5s and catfishes before. Definitely a GM wheel.
