I’m not a trendy a$$hole.

When I first read Zack Rissmiller claimed Dylan tore off his BMW emblems I took it with a grain of salt – that is, until I saw the contents list of his BMW glovebox. This speaks volumes about Dylan to me. He did not wish to be associated with status or snobbery in a way, shape or form to the extreme point of ripping off his own car’s emblems – front and rear. I can only imagine what his dad felt about his son’s extreme statement since Tom’s hobby was collecting old, luxury type cars and fixing them up with his son. The culture at Columbine with it’s elitist, snooty, rich kids turned Dylan off, and over the years, disgusted him to such a degree that it was too revolting to drive through the school’s parking lot feeling comfortable..or even remotely proud.. displaying the associated “status” symbols on his own car. It was not what he was about and he wanted to make sure the school knew it. What better way to make a point? I doubt Eric wouldn’t have done as such since he would have likely been proud of a German derived car.
