    Unhappy with BMW birthday gift

    22-year-old pushes car into river


    A 22-year-old man from India who received a brand new BMW as a birthday gift pushed the car into a river – because he wanted a Jaguar instead. His parents decided not to press charges, and said that they believe their son has mental health issues.

    I think about the hundreds, maybe thousands, of people that could have benefited by funds that could be raised by selling that car.

    I’ve had two expensive new bummers back in the day. He probably saved himself a lot of repair costs, but God knows, my jags were infinitely worse. Rumor has it both marques are better now, and I guess the ungrateful guy liked Jags because the Indians (Tata Motors) own it now.

    I'm real impressed with some of the new Jags I see in the 'hood. Real nice looking cars.

    Never been a BMW fan until you get into the 7 series. That would be my choice I doing a lot of interstate driving.
