Polterabend is a German wedding custom in which, on the night before the wedding, the guests break porcelain to bring luck to the couple's marriage. The belief in the effectiveness of this custom is expressed by the old adage: "Shards bring luck" (German: Scherben bringen Glück). The expression is derived from a time when the word "shard" referred to the unbroken clay pots of pottery makers, and not just the broken pieces. It was said that a full jar was a lucky thing to have, therefore the expression "shards bring luck".
Was a Chevy guy for 15 years until I found out that frequently replacing alternators, water pumps, compressors, wiper motors, etc. etc. and rebuilding transmissions every 80k miles wasn't normal.

BMW's are overpriced Chevy's. They're cr#p. They break down a lot and cost a fortune to fix. Seen it over & over again.
