Car guy conversation:
Car Guy:what car do you drive?
Me: A small BMW
Car Guy: what BMW you got?
Me: 128i with 6MT
Car Guy: Nice! Why didn't you go for a 135i?
Me: *Inside my head all I want to answer with is because of reliability* Because I'd get pulled over too much if I went with that car haha
Yeah, I think it's kind of a rude thing to ask someone why they bought a less expensive car if they are just an acquaintance or something. I might think thoughts like that sometimes about certain cars, but everyone has their reasons.
