I dont my 2000 dodge diesel on 35s is my yuppie deterrent
I am the furthest thing from a yuppie that you could ever imagine.
So what you're telling me is occasionally Benz gets renamed to Bends?
Nah, Benz is Benz. BMW gets renamed Bends. That's what the grill guards/ bull bars on the front of our trucks are for.

Yeah, I know the dealerships charge more. Even though they are charging more this dealership is honest about what wrong with it so I trust them in that respect. Many of them aren’t very honest. My husband has been taking his BMW to a different place that was recommended by a friend and they are a little cheaper but not by much. I am going to start taking mine there too. We already stopped getting tires from the dealership.

A true story:
Many years ago I worked at an auto parts store as a delivery girl to the shops in town. This one place would order black spray paint a lot. Few months later a started dating one of those mechanics and he told me they were told by the owner to take a part off and spray paint it so it looked like new and charged the customer for new parts. And if the customer asked to see old one they had some in back to show them.
Sometimes this shop would return parts saying customer decided not to repair it.
But after I told the guys I worked with what this shop was doing, then they started checking the returns and sure enough they were returning the old broken parts and spray painted them to like new ones. They figured this out because the actual new part was a flat black and they were using a glossy black. Gotta be careful with who you deal with.

It's funny. When we first start our systems, we can't wait to see coralline algae growing. Now, at this stage of the game, it's a constant battle to keep it off of stuff. Lol

Ahem... Benz, not BMW. Pffftt.... I'm douchey, but not that douchey
Note to self, question was not answer and avoided with negative response, suggesting it did not come with turn signals.

The question was answered. That trope is not about Mercedes drivers but rather BMWs, which I am not. It has turn signals, and I use them. Now, my Asian wife on the other hand is an entirely different story.

I don't understand. Why would your asian wife be a different story? Please expound in great detail.

I'm pretty sure the top five in order of ******ry is:

BMW + Porsche drivers
People who drive pick ups but don't need one
American Muscle cars drivers
Italian sports cars drivers
Mercedes drivers

I don't mind muscle car drivers. But I'd put BMW and Porsche drivers in separate categories with BMW #1 by a long shot. When I'm driving and see a BMW putting on their blinkers, I want to hop out and hug them. As one does. Nothing wrong with hugging strangers. And that doesn't at all reflect on my shrinking social circles...

So, basically, anyone who actually likes their car vs the people who just have one to get around?

Fwiw, I use my turn signals and drove like this loooong before I got my bmw. You don't get something with a v8 twin turbo and not push the pedal
Would you also like a hug?

:face-with-rolling-eyes:

My old rig. In my defense I don't actually remember if it had turn signals. All maintenance/mods myself, including 4.10s. Blue wheels are track wheels ;)
