BMW everytime....

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

That's true. :-) All generalizations are false. Generally.

We don't take that car much, but it needs to be available for the kiddos in case I need to take them somewhere by myself. I definitely could not fit a road bike in the trunk even with both wheels off. I opted for the BMW hitch rack, and although it was very expensive, I have to say it is a nice product and with the hitch cover on, you hardly notice it's there, so it's a win cosmetically over a roof rack.

Oh yeah, and for all you Bimmer haters out there, mine rocks a "share the road" plate!
I guess that's kinda like one of those Rollin coal guys rocking an Obama campaign sticker, lol.

Now that we determined that all BMW drivers are righteous. Lets talk about those a$$holes driving Audi's. ��

Nah, because I don't think anyone's mentioned Volkswagen Jettas.

Marketed to those who think they should be driving BMWs but can't afford them. So add "Always pissed off" to the Bimmer sense of entitlement.
