The Lexus IS 250 is the official sedan of the Costco parking lot. Douchebags don't inhabit Costco. So the Lexus is a miss too.
This thread would be so much better if the posters revealed what they drive. I'll start: "Hi, I'm Converse and I drive a BMW 325i." "Hi Converse. You are a douche"
I just was at a stop sign and this guy didn't stop, he just kinda rolled through. There were others waiting to go. I said to myself, "What a douchebag" and then I saw he was driving an Acura.
Ok I'll bite converse - "Hi I'm HiHK and I drive a used 2004 X3 that I got a few months ago" - since it has a 3 I'm a douche (but I didn't want an X5 - too big and more gas with the v8) - I'll submit the X5 with the v6 = douche if driven by a man. "Hi I'm HiHK an I drive a 2002 Aston Martin DB7 CONVERTIBLE" Convertible so I'm a douche.
I am Texas007 and I drive a 2005 911 Carrera S, and a 2006 BMW X5 - 4.4(I avoid HIHK's douche criteria for the X5!). I am a douche I guess. Should we include photos as proof so as not to be called out for giving false cars to avoid douche label? I think we should if for no other reason than I want to see HIHK's Aston. Those things are beautiful.
If you drive a douche car you just have to do something to counter-balance it. Maybe you could go out and wrestle a bear, build a log cabin with your bare hands, then live off the land. There's an episode of Walker Texas Ranger where he wrestles a bear and wins by giving it a stare-down. Thats good research. I can't remember if that was before or after shooting down the attack helicopter with the missile he had in his truck for some reason.
Have you been to the Warehouse District in Austin lately? you're comparing the warehouse district to the whole of dallas (except for a few oasis of douchefreedom--mstreets and lakewood)?
I actually considered the mini - if you saw my parking garag you would unerstand - however - I use the front/rear sensor beepers now - it's terrifying. I thought abou a lotus as well but my friend said only hairdressers drive them
I have several friends with LOtus Exige track cars. Fun as hell to drive on a track, but would not be a good daily driver IMO.
I have always thought of BMWs as wanna be Mercedes Benzs. One's icing, one's cake. As for me, I drive cars for approximately 2.5 years past the time my friends and family finally become unanimous in saying, "you really ought to have a better car...don't you want to drive something nicer?" It's just a tool to get from place to place; I'd rather have another rent house than drive these cars you guys talk about. I AM THE ANTI-DOUCHE!
I fully admit that I don't know, but my impression has always been that Mercedes is the more solid car, and you get more quality and less label. BMW selling more doesn't go to that point, but maybe my impression has been wrong all this time, too.
Actually Audi is the "poor man's mercedes" And I drive an Audi Allroad as a "station car" ie it takes me the 7 minutes to get to my Long Island Railroad station, but it rocks in the snow and ice
Range Rover is all about looks since only a small percentage ever use it off road. Now that's all about vanity. a toned down convertible is still a look at me car. Also, any car over $100k is screaming "look at me", especially a Ferrari in HK (what a waste). douches on this thread have gone to great extremes to defend their douchedom, but it's been an entertaining thread.
Any car that honks at bikes, then floors it when passing to show how manly they are. Bonus points for honking after nearly killing a cyclist or after running a stop sign (and especially for doing both). Based on my experience, seems like a lot of honking comes from big white trucks, and a lot of revving comes from rice rockets. My cars: 2008 Fuji Touring (that's a bike) 1972 Volkswagen Beetle I use the Fuji a lot more than the bug.
