A) It sounds lame as fuck to most people who have no ideas that BMWs have a following. They think it just sounds like "oh I like fancy cars".
B) I **** saying I drive one, let alone own several.

But honestly, if you live in America, you will be stereotyped. Period.

that truly sucks bro. i know the feeeling about being singled out because you're smart enough to realize only idiots conform in every way possible. standing or being differentout is not a crime or any reason for someone to judge you for bullshit leading to crap like this.
next time you get in this situation, use my catch phrase: "fuck your stereotype"
thinking about having stickers made up of this if anyone wants to fund the price of them to be made per sticker.Last edited by chev_chelios; 05-08-2010, 03:52 PM.

A fair proportion of the time its going to be attention you don't want, well...hey...you made the call.
It certainly does suck to be accused of anything you didn't do, regardless. Hopefully, if you've nothing to hide, you've nothing to fear.
i have to have piercings to make some sort of social statement or to draw attention to myself ? it couldnt possibly be that i have piercings just because they look cool right ?

That sucks dude.
Yeah I get stereotyped pretty regularly. I'm 20 yrs old, white, and drive an E46, so that automatically makes me a preppy rich kid who listens to John Mayer and the Jonas Brothers. Even though its not like normal E46's(plaid headliner, slammed, poke, zip-tied bumper/lip that also has been signed and grafitied all over it) but I don't let it bother me. I like to see people faces when they hear me listining to screaming/metal
it gives me a laugh.

Not nearly as badass as you people seem to be, but I get odd looks too. Black slammed loud car with shiny wheels speeding and sliding all over the place then I get out, slightly overweight white kid with fuzzy hair, listening to the B-52's or the Talking Heads wearing my souvenir tshirt and a pair of jeans.
I used to have long hair though, and people would always think I was a stoner. Cut my hair real short and haven't had a single person ask me for weed since. Stereotypes suck but if you don't let them bother you then what's to worry about. Just live your life.
