Sexual identity (for education purposes, from Wikipedia, quoted portions)
"A man who is overly aroused by pornographic material who utilizes reaction formation may take on an attitude of criticism toward the topic. He may end up sacrificing many of the positive things in his life, including family relationships, by traveling around the country to anti-pornography rallies. This view may become an obsession, whereby the man eventually does nothing but travel from rally to rally speaking out against pornography. He continues to do this, but only feels temporary relief, because the deeply rooted arousal to an "unacceptable" behaviour such as watching pornography is still present, and underlying the implementation of the defense. At that point he can be said to have developed an obsessional personality above and beyond the defense mechanism.
An example of Freud's theory is when a "heterosexual" individual supports and maintains strong "homophobic" beliefs as a way to cover-up their deep-seated and often untouched homosexual desires. A reaction formation is used to balance the ego-id-superego emotion of this "homosexual" living as a "heterosexual" in order to relieve the individual's anxiety.[2]
The case of prominent Congressman Mark Foley (R-Florida), in 2006, might also be considered an example of reaction formation. As chairman of the Missing and Exploited Children's Caucus, Foley had introduced legislation to protect children from exploitation by adults over the Internet. He also sponsored other legislation designed to protect minors from abuse and neglect. His resignation followed the revelation that he exchanged sexually explicit electronic messages with a teenage boy, a former congressional page, and that he had engaged in potentially inappropriate contact with pages for a number of years.
A possibility may also be Governor Eliot Spitzer (D-New York), who spent many years cracking down on prostitution, only be to allegedly identified as "Client Number 9", engaging in sexual acts with prostitutes totalling up to $80,000."
Another example, of reaction formation, is a subject's extreme love for BMW cars, in which he promotes the polar opposite, GM, as a way to relieve his anxiety and fear from realization that he does in fact, love BMW...

Thank God you found a pic without a BMW. :thumbsup. My stomach was getting upset reading all that wikpedia stuff.
The 850 was one of my favorites as well. Very cool lines for that time. Another timeless pre-Bangle design. Bangle may have been the turning point.
Pre-Bangle favorites
6 Series
850
Z8
E39 M5 - 4 doors and 400hp whats not to like.
1995 -1998 M3 - Best handling car in the world. Still tough to beat on any track with a good driver.
Even the last Gen M3 was still pretty cool. I don't like the new one.
Now lets Change the Tone.

I had a 1997 M3 Sedan in Estoril Blue. Definitely a superb handling car. I almost bought it back when it went back on the market...
Sorry, had to balance out the Merc posted in #56, and continue the ongoing randomness of this thread.
