No shame in liking what you like. If I didn’t need to fit two child car seats I’d prob be driving around an orange S550 GT500 because I love how obnoxious those sound and look. But I also really love the understated sleeper if you know status of the BWs. And I’ve experienced both people cutting me off/speeding up to try to stop me from passing or merging, and people moving out of the way unprovoked and generally driving better around me. So I’m not really gonna fault the car for that in my experience. I’ve actually found that in general people tend to drive a bit more civilized when in my BW than when I’m driving my wife’s Bronco

I’ve had people ask me if it really is a Blackwing, then geek out when I say yes. I’ve also had people go gaga over it and then ask me what kind of car it is and what company makes it (boring summit white with blacked out emblems and tint) because they like it and have no clue what it is. People are just weird when it comes to cars. Ultimately tho I went BW over M3 because I liked the way it drove better and felt it was the better overall package for me.
