Are you an obese and whiney BMW Jerk?

OK, that was just to get your attention!

But I thought this Wall Street Journal article was interesting, odd they should pick on BMW specifically.

I think it's mostly crap...

Sounds like the writer is just jealous of BMW's. Talk about being desperate for a story....

yea i fail to see the point of that story

The New York based press seem to have a think about cars in general and specifically premium cars and SUVs.

The NYT has been on the war path, looks like the WSJ (a conservative newspaper) is joining in.

Seem like owning a nice car is a sin now, who figured.

I don't see the point of the article either.

this article was also printed on page 26 of this month's ROUNDEL (Jan, '03). I don't think the point of the article was to bash BMW, but rather poke fun at the people that think they are entitled to everything under the sun because they have a warranty. ie. seat should be replaced because an obese man wore it out, another example would be: someone thinking they should get a free tire replaced if they drove over a nail and got a flat tire.
