BMW Drivers

While I was narrowly avoiding a collision with a BMW today (his fault - I was doing the speed limit and he decided to pull a U-turn directly in front of me) I kind of realized something about BMW drivers. Most of them, anyway.

It seems like most of them drive about, well under the capabilities of their vehicles. As if they didn't already pay too much, they then use very little of the car's abilities. But then, once they do decide to do something remotely exciting, they mess it up.

Like this guy today. I'm cruising down Tropicana doing about 47 (okay, yeah, I was two over the speed limit). The guy decides to pull a fast U-turn. But he mistimes it and ends up about two feet away from getting the front of my truck into the rear quarter panel of his car. Yeah, I could've slammed on brakes and not been so close but I figured the fault would be his. I can claim ABS won't leave skid marks.
