Yup Phil's still a jerk and I'm sure he's going to be a hanger on to the latest announcement.

You have to sort of feel some sympathy for BMW haters, because they missed out.  I used to drive a 3 series with a stick back when they had the naturally aspirated straight six.  A nearly perfect car for driving long miles which I used to do back then.  Practical and made every trip a little more fun, drove better than the 5 (now the 7’s were mostly for jerks*, never drove one).   Wish I hadn’t given it away.

 

I actually never thought of them as jerk cars but more as chick cars (because that’s what guys’ girlfriends wanted them to buy for them), which I was willing to overlook in the interest of sometimes carrying a couple of passengers and more rarely doing 130 without a qualm.

 

*Not really, that was subtly self-deprecating humor, implying in a seemingly ironic way that I as well as others am subject to BMW envy.  It’s best to be clear about these things.

The favorite car I ever owned was a 2004 E46 M3.   That was long before I became a Jerk…

I freely post that I drive a BMW, wear joggers and live in CA because I’m a glutton for punishment and enjoy providing WRXers with low hanging fruit to pick 😊

Let be honest, the joggers are the worst part of that equation. 😂😂😉

I’ve heard this same joke told about drivers of BMWs, Mercedes, Porsches, Ferraris… 

 

All the jerkiness of any of those drivers pales in comparison to the riffraff driving Tesla.  Scary part is crash statistics do show higher incidence among Tesla.

I believe a lot of those Telsa crashes is because the snake oil salesman's auto pilot isn't ready for prime time.

No, as it turns out, most Tesla drivers don't have experience with driving a golf cart with a lot of batteries, so the acceleration is something they are not used to.  That, and they somehow think their cars are capable of squeezing into smaller spaces.

My khaki joggers arrived yesterday to complete my US Open “uniform”. Better than I expected! 🙌🏼

Because when he turns out to be right it's easier to be outraged?

That the suits in PVB were sucking up a lot of the money that should be going to the players for starters.  And given how Monahan just sold out the guys he had doing his bidding against the other tour, his "obnoxious greed" comments look to be pretty much spot on.

I see it as the PGAT was on the path to bankruptcy in trying to compete with the bottomless pockets of an authoritarian government. 

 

Phil wasn't right.

Phil used to be my favorite golfer. I loved his go for it style on the course. But since this whole Liv thing has happened, it opened my eyes to why a lot of tour players don't like him and call him FIGJAM.  I finally saw the know it all narssicitic person that he was. I still think he’s one of the great golfer of all time, talent wise, but he really tarnished his reputation after this while fiasco. There’s still plenty of folks that love Phil, but he lost me
