Do you sometimes wish....

...that you were driving a BMP or BFV instead of a BMW?

I don't often feel that way, but about once every so many years, I find myself "involved" with someone on the road and I get to point where I think, "You know, I've had about all I can take of you and it's probably a good thing for both of us that I don't drive a ...."

All the best.

??? Elaborate? On what? The thread (and poll) asks a "yes or now" question. It doesn't ask what "flavor" of BMP you want; desiring any one counts as a "yes."

All the best.

My bad, I was a bit tired and had a bit to drink last night... But I thought you were talking about a model of car; didn't occur to me until I read the initial post that both instances you were talking about a tank; I just merely put up what I found on Google, and thought that the BFV meant Bio-Fuel Vehicle. But for the sake of clarity, I'd say "would you rather drive a tank over your BMW" would've been more concise for my near-drunk ass .

Fair enough. I have to admit I didn't consider the needs of drunken readers.

FWIW, I would never prefer to drive a tank or BMP/BFV over my BMW. I only want one on the rare occasions that I find an idiot in front of me on the road and the only way around them would be to blow them out of the way and roll over the resulting debris, after which I'd want the car to magically become my BMW again.

All the best.

I don't really get road rage. I mean, I get mad, but not rage. Willful ignorance of others does that enough for me.

Yeah. Those bmp/bfv is almost unstoppable on the street, and cost 150x more than most expensive BMW?

Willful or not, ignorance of others is generally the trait folks exhibit that makes me for that moment want a BMP/BFV. I'm sure when I exhibit the same characteristic, others feel that way about me.

Everyone has momentary "brain farts" while driving, some folks seem to have uncontrollable "flatulence behind" the wheel. Brief or perpetual, when I encounter those folks, my mental response is the same: "Move your sorry ass down the road or out of the way!!! One or the other. I don't care which, so long as I can get from behind you." LOL

All the best.
