Default You always thought it was the case, now the Finns have proven it.

And I have a Mercedes, further confirming it.

Proven: Mercedes and BMW owners are more likely to be assholes.

I read an interview of a homeless guy begging at an intersection that said the same thing. There we go. Corroborated by 2 independent sources.

There is actually a well-known guy that frequently panhandles at a shopping plaza nearby...when he’s done collecting his loot for the day, he walks across the street to the commuter lot, hops in his silver Mercedes, and drives home. Serious.

Default You always thought it was the case, now the Finns have proven it.

The US Insurance, at the end of 2019 Industry published their annual report of insured vehicles on US public roads that are most problematic and at risk due entirely to driver behavior. They base it on several factors including driver aggression measured by the devices voluntarily placed in vehicles (to earn insurance company discounts), police citation records, public court records (at fault accidents), etc. I believe BMW’s were 3rd on the top 10 list, Mercedes owners were around 5th or so. But, their data show that, by far and away, the biggest ASSHOLES on THE ROAD drive a, 1.) Dodge Challenger followed closely by, 2. Dodge Ram Pickup

These are the two most menacing, rude and risky vehicle drivers in our country. The report was interesting in its detail. The spread between these worst two and the fairly distant third place BMW vehicle drivers almost reflects psycho tendencies, seriously. My Mustang put me on the Top 10 risk list but further down, aways.
