I park behind him. As we both exit our vehicles, I say "Love the color, what is it?" He looks at me like I have two heads and says Blue. No shit. I started to ask the name of the color but knew it was useless. The car gave me the impression he was an enthusiast. Are the demographics of the BMW driver changing or do we here the minority?
Try to solve your question first to the color: That was maybe Estoril Blue Metallic II (when lighter) or Mediterran blue (dark).
God, I hate you for looking at fuqing 3 series cars, I hate them more than every other car (confession!). But the idea to help were the top notch.

To the demographic thinking: Some bimmer drivers are real retards, here in my living area the younger the more! That and some other ASSumed BMW driver cliches had brought me once to sell my beloved F32. Sometimes I miss this car really much.

I wasn't admiring the car as much as the color. It seems that BMW and most car makers lately have two extremes; the basic black, white, silver, grey with a few crazy colors. I have always gone back and forth between black and some shade of grey. I wanted something different this time so I ordered Long Beach Blue but chickened out at the last minute and changed to Donington Grey. The LBB was beautiful but loud. This blue was something I could live with. It was a darker shade of blue but not didn't look like the picture. Maybe because it was in bright sunlight.

So you're telling me you hate the 3-series more than the Pontiac Aztek?

Funny you mentioned the Aztek. I saw the new X6 at the dealer last week and that is exactly what I thought of when looking at the rear Not exactly a nice ass.

Reminds me of the time I was driving down the road and saw the grill on the new Silverado HD. I wasn't sure if I should vomit or laugh. I'm pretty sure there is an inside bet between the manufacturers on who can sell the ugliest vehicle.

Had to do a Google image search, since I hadn't seen one yet. Ouch. It's...over-styled, to my eyes. She's got panty lines. They tried a little too hard, or didn't quit soon enough.

The front ends on the full-sized pickups have gotten way out of hand. There's some serious compensation going on for...you know...shortages.

Confession:

Lately I've gotten a kick out of telling people with X brand bro truck covered in giant emblems they have a nice truck, but instead calling it by the wrong brand.

Example: Dodge heavy duty truck lifted with Cummins stickers all over it

Me: "Dude, that's a sweet PowerStroke"

Their look = priceless.

I also only do it to people who are clearly acting like an ahole in traffic.

Hearing your child in that emotional state kills you. And they tried everything to save him.....even experimental treatments.

I know, it's just the way some things go....but it still doesn't mean I have to agree with it.
Thanks. Hopefully things turn around on your end.

That's hilarious. Be careful, though. Eventually one of 'em is going to get really pissed and throw his purse at you.

The guys with the trucks with the big mods do that anyway. It's like a dog pissing on a fire hydrant. I'm cool with it. It means they're leaving.

I have one better. Long ago and far away before I was an old lady. I was stopped at a traffic light. It was winter, but a really beautiful warm day. I had all the windows open and I'm singing my heart out to Marvin's "Let's get it on". And I'm into it. Not only the words but with the ooohs, eeees, ahhhhs. I look over and see a guy in the car next to me watching me. His mouth is hanging open. He was looking at me the way Judge Reinhold was looking at Phoebe Cates out the bathroom window in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. I was freakin mortified. I completely forgot I had the windows open. Glad I had a V8 and the pole position at that light.

Yes

I'm off next Friday, I could come by then. Gives you time to adjust your will/etc

I'm not sure I will make it to then. Dr took me off <insert some med name> because my heart is beating too slow and he said it could just stop

I don't have the imagination to see this. Could you possibly make a video recreating this for a poor old man with a complete lack of imagination?

Thanks so much!!

Dude. The time machine was in "that vehicle which can no longer be mentioned". You're completely SOL.
