    "We tried to sell you stuff that should have come stock and you got pissed and the press picked it up so we’re gonna stop.

    “I’d like to take this opportunity to announce our plan to start selling additional products that should come stock.”

      To be fair, the mere fact that there exists an association between bmw drivers and a lack of proper use of turn signal left me a non BMW customer from the start.

      Hey BMW, if you want more folks to buy your cars, stop marketing to douchebags.

      Or don’t, idgaf. On my 7th Subaru now. Still very happy.

          Joke answer:

          For em!

          Real answer: if we aren’t mutually agreeing that fucking is on the table then idgaf what you do.

          I’d say libertarian, but… ya know…

        I used to ask tow truck drivers (when I occasionally met one) which brand car they tow the most. It was always without hesitation “Subarus”

          I have driven about 1.5M miles over 7 Subarus.

          Only issues I ever had were a cracked gasket (part recalled, fixed for free), and occasional alignment issues when I was younger that were more my fault than anything.
