Well, I didn’t buy a BMW. My apologies if you were counting on riding in one in order to feel cool. I bought this car instead:
It is a 2005 Volkswagen New Beetle TDI. Yes, I have a diesel car. Aside from sounding cool, it also gets excellent fuel economy. All hail Rudolf!
My name is Matthew Xavier. I live in Minnesota, read books, and write software (for fun and profit).
Many years ago at a friend's high school graduation, I spent an hour at a table with my brother and our band director. We were strange people. I ate one mint for half an hour, our band director made faces in his salad dressing, and my brother melted things in the decorative candle.
One of the things my brother melted was a plastic fork. He carefully heated it only just enough that the tips of the tines curled neatly into little coils. We examined it and decided that surely it was no longer good for stabbing people...or food. Thus was born the original safety fork: harmless, but useless.

Does this mean that you are pro-Asian beetle, or are you only pro-German Beetle?

B & K—So driving a Volkswagen is worse than driving a BMW?
John—I support all beetles, so long as each is powered by its own internal combustion engine.
