BMW vs Benz

markcars,

I like your theory but I wish it was true.  Out here it seems that since gas has going up there are more cars on the road.  Not to help the situation any more it seems that on every street you turn on there is some type of construction so if there is no traffic you still can't go fast (bummer).  To add to it the police out here stand outside of there cars and run radar and pyhsically stand in the highway to pull you over. 

Now how's that for a Sunday run?

what's up with police stepping out in front of your car. this police officer did it to me on July 5th, good thing i had at least a few hours of sleep (seeing how it was july 4th) or else i probably wouldn't have stopped. but honestly, i can see them hiding and sniping you with their radar then sending a car after you. it takes balls to step out in the middle of the street. and where i live, you get scared even when you have to cross the stree with the walk signal.

obviously the gas price problem does not effect people, maybe except me, i started riding the bus to work, and the transit system here is scary. but you see people with SUV and driving everywhere. when i bike i can, when i walk i can. but this all coming from a college kid with no money also.

as far as the car dilemma, i have only ridden in the two, but i like the BMW better. for some reason it just seemed a little more classy to me. but they are both wickedly fun to ride in, and hopefully sometime when i'm outta school and have a job i can face your problem. good luck.
