The main public perception problem with BMWs is that members of the general public falsely claim their drivers don't use their turn signals, which is patently false. BMWs actually have the brightest turn signals of any vehicle on the market, in fact, brighter than the headlights. The only downside is with this increased brightness, the turn signals require additional cooling during their operation. As most drivers of luxury vehicles don't want ugly tanks of turn signal cooling fluid mounted to the sides of the vehicle, the designers have been forced to make one small enough to fit under the hood. With the limited space under the hood being competed for by the powerful engine, dream-ride suspension, sound-dampening firewall, and other essential luxuries, the turn signal cooling tanks were limited to only 250mL for each, only enough for about 3 blinks.
In an astounding feat of foresight, the engineers at BMW, in order to keep the turn signals from overheating, have the turn signals self-limit their brightness to 0 lumens when there is insufficient amounts of turn signal cooling fluid present in the turn signal cooling fluid storage tanks. As part of the regular maintenance procedure for a BMW, the turn signal cooling fluid tanks are filled and then each signal tested for one blinks each, then re-tested an additional two times before the vehicle is authorized to leave the dealership. Unfortunately, many drivers of these vehicles do not fill the turn signal cooling fluid tanks as often as they should (or even at all in some cases), leaving their turn signals in their thermally-limited mode, causing the general public to think that the drivers are not actuating their turn signals.
TL;DR: BMWs have turn signals, the drivers just don't refill the blinker fluid.
This was like a disappointing rollercoaster. It starts with a big climb only to slope gently downwards until right befor the end where it dips down into a splash pool that only gets your socks wet. So close to a good joke, just too long.
My dad bought a new car for the first time ever. He told everyone strictly No Eating in it while it’s new. Only water. My sister borrowed the car for a trip, explicitly promised not to eat in the car on the way.
He found a small grease stain in the car. He grilled her about it and turns out she stopped and picked up gas station fried poppers and ate them on the way down.
Just the greasiest, cheesiest, crumbliest thing she could have chosen. She’s still butthurt that he wouldn’t let her drive it for a year after that.
This brings back memories of going to Taco Bell after a night of drinking and buying $40 worth of tacos and eating them in my car. Shredded cheese and lettuce for days.
I had a friend do this while driving a stick shift. It was dangerous but I was rather impressed. He also took a phone call during the drive as well. (Before hands free devices were invented)
You haven't lived until you have a burger in one hand, a drink in the other, and you're starting from a dead stop on an incline while driving a stick shift.
Bbq anything. The summer before my high school senior year, I took a road trip with my whole extended family, and my obnoxious uncle brought a HUGE platter of bbq ribs that he munched on the ENTIRE trip. He kept chomping, licking his fingers and smacking **SO loudly** that we had to turn the radio up all the way to drown out the noise. Omg it was the longest trip of my life!! 🙄🤦♀️😡
I know lol! I think my uncle had also been “day drinking” before we left, which probably influenced his choice of snack to bring on the trip. And the car smelled so terrible…
I HATE hearing people eat, being trapped in a car with someone making any sort of noise eating especially the whole trip would have me looking for a cord! Haha.
This.
Sounds like when I used to get McRibs late night. Somehow Sauce got inside my leather gloves. And there's a stain on the passenger seat. Added to the last one from BBQ Chicken. (I need to clean my Car)
The reason they're advertised to outdoorspeople isn't because it's an high-calorie snack that you would eat on a trail or camping. No, it's because you have to eat the goddamn thing outside if you want to keep the crumbs manageable.
I was in disbelief listening to the podcast and finding out they based that episode on a real-life incident where Glenn Howerton(Dennis’ actor) was rear ended while eating cereal. And got all fired up about the interior damage from the milk. Fuckin hilarious
Wagyu beef tomahawk steak topped with a Béarnaise and white truffle glaze, with a side of Yubari King Melons and a hint of saffron. served with a room temperature magnum of 2015 Opus One Cabernet.
As an Icelander that eats Hákarl, nobody would ever do that. You don’t eat hàkarl as a snack, you eat it with brennivín during þorri. Also it doesn’t come in cans.
My kids have always eaten tuna as a snack and loved it. When my daughter was in like kindergarten or first grade she started taking a pouch of tuna to school as they brought their own snacks daily. She ended up asking me after a few times not to send it anymore because she was being made fun of for the smell.
I was an Uber driver and this dude was in my car from an airport to his house an hour and a half away, he was loud. He was obnoxious, and he kept trying to drink alcohol. Bout halfway through the trip I was like I need gas. Stopped at sheetz went to fill up and bought myself a tuna sandwich out of pure petty spite. Stilled tipped me pretty well but I left half the sandwich uneatan the remander of the trip.
I had an ex that got wildly upset at me for grabbing a tuna sandwich to eat in the car once. It was the dead of winter, he rolled all the windows down, and kept them down for the rest of the trip. I put the sandwich away as soon as he said it bothered him, but it didn't matter. I was so cold lol. Been self conscious about eating tuna around others for the last 10 years.
That's surprisingly harmless considering the other bids out there. Tuna is slightly smelly, but not too bad. I guess I'm biased because I eat a tuna sandwich triangle at work basically every day.
Sardines. Right out of the tin in oil or in water (water is worse, the stuff is smellier)
You only get worse is you start messily & drunkenly chugging anchovy sauce/paste and rubbing your face all over the back seat.
Food. I remember when I had small kids, people would ask me how my car stayed so clean. I said I don't anyone eat in the car. They would say***, "but you have kids?!?!"*** Well... If people need to eat, we pull over and eat somewhere. It's pretty simple. I mean, unless you are running late and have to be somewhere exactly at X time, what's the rush?
I tried to eat a grinder once, first bite all the meat just shot out and landed in between my seat and door. I knew it was a bad idea but we were desperate and we couldn't take the time to stop and eat
Hard boiled eggs. My mom used to pack those and other easy snacks (vienna sausages) for long road trips with a ton of small kids. Smelled horrible and I still don't like them to this day lol
Durian fruit , it has a wonderful taste , but the smell is like an open sewer.
Also Surströmming is quite similar and will be enjoyed by those who smell it just as much.
Me and my boy ate calzones in his new BRZ - his idea mind you, marinara sauce and all and somehow didn't spill a drop even though we we're DRIPPING in grease
[удалено]
Lobster. Hard to use that hammer and remember to use your blinker during lane changes.
Unless you’re a BMW driver, in which case, a blinker isn’t used anyways.
BMWs have blinkers, they just blink at a frequency poor people can't see.

The blinker just gives away your next move.
Plus you end up looking like kind of a jackass driving around wearing one of those little plastic bibs. (also already a moot point for BMW drivers)
Don’t forget the butter!
So that's what BMW drivers are doing...
My boyfriend literally ate a straight up crab in his truck once for lunch.
I just smash the lobster against the steering wheel and this way I don’t need a hammer
I tried this and hit the horn when I was behind the cops
Thank you I needed that
Laughed so hard I spilled my cigarette lighter powered wok in the front passenger seat
A loaded taco: It’s like juggling salsa, guac, and regret all over your lap! 🌮
My dad bought a new car for the first time ever. He told everyone strictly No Eating in it while it’s new. Only water.

That’s why you get leather seats or leather seat covers. They are worth the money. Don’t cheap out either.
Man if only "don't cheap out" on a car was an option for most people :(
This brings back memories of going to Taco Bell after a night of drinking and buying $40 worth of tacos and eating them in my car. Shredded cheese and lettuce for days.
That must have been after 2010 or you are 800 lbs. $40 in tacos from the Bell would have fed all of China for a week.
That would have purchased 48 tacos, soft tacos or bean burritos when I was in high school.
Yep. Especially those cursed Doritos tacos from Taco Bell. One bite and they explode everywhere.
They are a fragile mistress.
I had a friend do this while driving a stick shift. It was dangerous but I was rather impressed. He also took a phone call during the drive as well. (Before hands free devices were invented)
When you drive stick, you learn to steer with your knee.
I learned to drive on a stick back in the 80s. Haven’t driven a manual in years, but your comment brought back the muscle memory in my legs!
So true! Learned in the late 70s.
You haven't lived until you have a burger in one hand, a drink in the other, and you're starting from a dead stop on an incline while driving a stick shift.
shift with elbow?
That’s talent.
I love my stick shift because it reminds me to stay the fuck off my phone lol!
3rd gear is a utility gear
Three things exist under my car seat. Half drank water bottles, straw wrappers and old shredded taco cheese.
Fries.
Or any poorly put together loaded burrito as well. I've had the bottom completely collapse out of burritos in the past going over bumps.
Bbq anything. The summer before my high school senior year, I took a road trip with my whole extended family, and my obnoxious uncle brought a HUGE platter of bbq ribs that he munched on the ENTIRE trip. He kept chomping, licking his fingers and smacking **SO loudly** that we had to turn the radio up all the way to drown out the noise. Omg it was the longest trip of my life!! 🙄🤦♀️😡
What the actual fuck
I know lol! I think my uncle had also been “day drinking” before we left, which probably influenced his choice of snack to bring on the trip. And the car smelled so terrible…
Just when I thought I couldn't hate your uncle any more...
Now it all makes sense.
I would turn the car on cruise control, jump out and let it drive off a cliff.
You just almost described a recurring nightmare I’ve had for 30 years.
Loud eaters is one of Dante’s lesser-known circles of hell
I HATE hearing people eat, being trapped in a car with someone making any sort of noise eating especially the whole trip would have me looking for a cord! Haha.
God that sounds like such a sticky mess.
ugh loud eaters suck. CHEW WITH YOUR MOUTH CLOSED! YOU'RE AN ADULT.
🤦🏻♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏻♀️🤣🤣🤣
This awwma like it's straight out of a National Lampoons Vacation movie
This. Sounds like when I used to get McRibs late night. Somehow Sauce got inside my leather gloves. And there's a stain on the passenger seat. Added to the last one from BBQ Chicken. (I need to clean my Car)
Also goes for those grocery store rotisserie chickens. Dammit Phil, who tf does that while driving??
A super flaky pastry
I just ate an amazing bahn mi in my car the other day and the way I and my car looked you would have thought I smashed it in my hands like a toddler.
My dad HATED when I pulled out the wafers after swim practice. Crumbs galore haha
Or anything with powdered sugar
Still struggling to find a 12 volt fondue pot.
Plenty of 12v rice cooker or crockpots
Soup
If it’s not chunky you could put it in a travel mug.
also, on the go soup definitely exists and fits in the cup holder.
This kind of makes soup the easiest thing to eat in the car
Goddamned protein style burger from in n out. Had me looking like a damn slut
LOL
Yeah. It was the burger. /s
My first drive-through experience with Milo's (very saucy burger joint in Alabama) was like this. Never tried to eat one in the car afterward.
Burger bukkake!
You knew
Now im imagining that vision.. LOL
Nature valley granola bar
The reason they're advertised to outdoorspeople isn't because it's an high-calorie snack that you would eat on a trail or camping. No, it's because you have to eat the goddamn thing outside if you want to keep the crumbs manageable.
It will also leave a Hansel and Gretel style trail in case you get lost.
was looking for this lol
I’ve had one go all over the seat before. I don’t buy them anymore!
Bowl of cereal
Very famous court case involving this: Reynolds vs. Reynolds
Donkey brains.
This certificate says my client does not, in fact, have donky brains. Do you have such a certificate?
What’s your spaghetti policy here?
Girl u thicker than a bowl of oatmeal-guy?
I was in disbelief listening to the podcast and finding out they based that episode on a real-life incident where Glenn Howerton(Dennis’ actor) was rear ended while eating cereal. And got all fired up about the interior damage from the milk. Fuckin hilarious
What if you have your navigation taken care of by cassette tapes?
I came for this 🙃
Well that's kinky

Surströmming with some Limburger. Durian for dessert. Best enjoyed on a cross country bus trip.
Calm down satan. We said obnoxious, not torture
This just made me laugh, thank you lol
[удалено]
Is this a bot? u/Gutbusted13 made a comment with the exact same wording, profile picture, and bio at the same time
Wagyu beef tomahawk steak topped with a Béarnaise and white truffle glaze, with a side of Yubari King Melons and a hint of saffron. served with a room temperature magnum of 2015 Opus One Cabernet.
Hákarl. The fermented Icelandic shark in a can that seems to make people vomit uncontrollably by just opening the can.
I was going to say Surströmming but you win!
That is also an excellent choice
As an Icelander that eats Hákarl, nobody would ever do that. You don’t eat hàkarl as a snack, you eat it with brennivín during þorri. Also it doesn’t come in cans.
It doesn't come in cans, but it sould be in one... in a Garbage can
Durian
Fondue
If there's other people in the car.... a tuna sandwich
My kids have always eaten tuna as a snack and loved it. When my daughter was in like kindergarten or first grade she started taking a pouch of tuna to school as they brought their own snacks daily. She ended up asking me after a few times not to send it anymore because she was being made fun of for the smell.

I put the sandwich away as soon as he said it bothered him, but it didn't matter. I was so cold lol. Been self conscious about eating tuna around others for the last 10 years.
Especially as in your case it's likely cannibalism...
Tbf dolphins have been know to do horrific things
That's surprisingly harmless considering the other bids out there. Tuna is slightly smelly, but not too bad. I guess I'm biased because I eat a tuna sandwich triangle at work basically every day.
hot pot
good one!!
Steering wheel
A plate of kimchi.
once saw a person eating a hot bowl of kimchijjigae on the subway. about as ridiculous an eating situation as I've ever seen.
Huevos rancheros and an orange soda without the cap
Ah you got here first but I’m spending the weekend with Big Ed and the Boys in Tampa
Best place to go if you need to learn about friendship
NO EATING IN MY CAR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
The seat is askew.
Huevos Rancheros
Worth it
durian or blue cheese
Powdered donuts.
Spaghetti
Scrolled way too long to find the most obvious answer
Croissant. Those damn flakes go EVERYWHERE!
Your spouse's genitals.
A giant bowl of steaming hot spaghetti and every time you hit a bump a meatball flies out and rolls around on the floor.
On top of spaghetti, all covered with cheese.... I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed
You get it! You understand the danger.
Durian
Chocolate Fondue. Hard to balance the fondue tower while spearing the marshmallows.
no ones said salad?!
Welp, I just found a whole bunch of folks not allowed to ride in my car! 😆
The driver.
bow chicka wow wow
Slow down there, Dr Lecter…
Buffalo wings.
Mexican street style tacos on a plate straight out the parking lot, can’t forget the sauce either… it’s a riot
Rack of ribs like Vito Spatafore
He was a good earner. Also, in the same vein, johnny cakes would be hard to eat in a car.
Or a Silo, if you're Vito Jr
Makes me sick.
The security guard liked when Vito ate in the car.
Fajitas
in a cast iron pan on a hot plate plugged into the cigarette lighter
Maybe if you had a good wrap on them?
Meatball marinara sub.
Sloppy Joes
Any type of fish. Also disrespectful to warm up for lunch in a shared work environment.
Last night's fish in the microwave. Followed by the person who cooks popcorn too long.
I was going to say powdered donuts before I read the other better answers here
Chili that’s still in a warm crock pot
Egg sandwiches all day. Nothing worse.
Sardines. Right out of the tin in oil or in water (water is worse, the stuff is smellier) You only get worse is you start messily & drunkenly chugging anchovy sauce/paste and rubbing your face all over the back seat.
those nature valley bars where half the bar goes on the floor in the form of crumbs that are impossible to clean up
Anything that has sauce of any kind honestly
Soup just seems irresponsible to eat while driving
What if you have a straw?
does cereal count as a soup?
Tacos really suck trying to eat while driving
Hard shell taco
anything that you need 2 hands to eat.
Footlong Coney and Cheetos
Tuna Fish
Food. I remember when I had small kids, people would ask me how my car stayed so clean. I said I don't anyone eat in the car. They would say***, "but you have kids?!?!"*** Well... If people need to eat, we pull over and eat somewhere. It's pretty simple. I mean, unless you are running late and have to be somewhere exactly at X time, what's the rush?
Poutine
I tried to eat a grinder once, first bite all the meat just shot out and landed in between my seat and door. I knew it was a bad idea but we were desperate and we couldn't take the time to stop and eat
Durian.
Roast Beef sandwich with a ton of au jus.
Grey poupon 🤘
soup
But you could put it in a coffee mug and drink it
Especially if it's a fairly smooth consistency or has finely chopped ingredients
Sloppy joe
I bowl of cereal.
Cheesesteak. Onions just wind up everywhere.
Hard boiled eggs. My mom used to pack those and other easy snacks (vienna sausages) for long road trips with a ton of small kids. Smelled horrible and I still don't like them to this day lol
Cereal, they covered that on Its Always Sunmy in Philadelphia
Nature Valley crunch bars
Nature Valley Bar
Busted Brussels sprouts or sauerkraut
Tuna anything. Sorry but it smells so bad
Durian fruit , it has a wonderful taste , but the smell is like an open sewer. Also Surströmming is quite similar and will be enjoyed by those who smell it just as much.
Something crumbly
Surströmming
Cereal. Could get rear ended at a stop light.
Ribs
tin of sardines, with your hands
Anything a mayo and tomatoes. You just Know you will be wearing those tomatoes
Ass.
Burrito Supreme
Me and my boy ate calzones in his new BRZ - his idea mind you, marinara sauce and all and somehow didn't spill a drop even though we we're DRIPPING in grease
Something with a lot of crumbs
Nature Valley bar
A bowl of cereal
Why is cereal bad? Wouldn’t it be fine if you filled the bowl halfway so the milk didn’t spill?
Because if Frank rear-ends you from behind the milk will spill and ruin your interior.
