When I was dating my now current wife I was invited to a family 'meet and greet' on her side. I'm game, so during dinner and small talk somehow it came up that I drive a BMW. My wife's sister says (with inflection) 'Oh! Your one of those!'
OK OK I thought. I danced around that one somehow stating that I had respect for the engineering and drive-ability or some crap like that. But in my mind I thought 'Who the fuck are you? You don't know me.' Turned out she had just moved back to the mid-west from San Diego where she commuted the 5 daily. Ahhh! It's starting to make sense now. Also, she drives a Volvo.
It was never mentioned again, though things were pretty icy with her for quite a while. Thank goodness that her and my wife are nothing alike!
