18 years ago, in 2000, in Houston, a team called the Astros started their season in a brand new ballpark. As etiquette demands, they celebrated this momentous occasion by purchasing a new Beemer and asking visiting teams to autograph it throughout the year:


At the end of the season, a California woman bought the car (with the proceeds going to charity) and later sold it to a Canadian from Saskatoon, So he took a vehicle covered in over 600 MLB signatures, including Hank Aaron, Felipe Alou and Vin Scully, on a road trip to the great white North

      Nope. You maybe wanna go find a blog or website that caters to what you think you want things to be called.
      But that's not how I do my blog. This is my blog.
      I call a BMW car a beemer, or BMW, or a car.
      I call a BMW motorcycle? An R50 or whatever that model is.
      You can run along now. I'm a car guy, not a Hamptons Harvard grad that has to drive a E30 and wear a sweater tied around his neck, in pastels, who gives a damn what you'd like me to call a BMW motorcycle vs a BMW car.
      Just step back from keyboard, and tell your beemer bros that some greasemonkey gearhead jackass isn't very nice.
      He prefers an Isetta to an E30, and he runs this blog.
