What Really Grinds Your Gears?

Having Internet Explorer anywhere

I don't have a problem with the up to date version at home, although it isn't my primary browser. It works in a pinch when Chrome is acting a fool. But damn, IE 8.0 and versions before it were a buggy mess! I wonder why my IT won't just update the damn thing. I used Chrome at work, but I didn't like the auto update functionality on the work PC. so I had to trash it. Grrrrrrr

Paying the price of an LNIB pair of Juliets for a new car battery and the price of another pair for a minor service. Ahhh, well, at least I can use the heated seats without worry over the winter now...

I'm guessing new car batteries are way more expensive over there?

If it's related to a car, it's more expensive over here! Previous batteries for 3 series have been quite cheap, but for this 5 it needs to be registered to the car and that adds another layer of cost.

Base price of a 535d is approx $57k in the US, about $76k here. And the fuel is vastly more expensive too.

We're far from the worst either.

Base price for the same car in Denmark? $159000...

Registered to the car? Wtf does that mean?

I guess I'm not classy enough to own a luxury car
