Me and my BMW: a match just meant not to be?

When you see a tall truck get its roof scraped off by a low underpass is that a bad design?

BMW and many other automakers employ spoilers to improve the aerodynamics of its vehicles by creating more downforce or reducing air resistance (or both).

I always enjoy your stories and I know the story was somewhat tongue-in-cheek. But you purchased a high performance car. And just like the driver of that tall truck, the driver of a low clearance car needs to be aware of high curbs, parking standards and road hazards!

Be careful, Barbara!

Glad you haven't given up on the gorgeous BMW.
You look fantastic on it :)
