Car Stereotypes

[eotlemac]

A friend and i were talking recently and we got ont the topic of car stereotypes: here are some we came up with

Minivan-soccermom
dodge truck-a middle age dad driving to fast
exterra-hippie nature dude with power bar sticker on back window
miata=gay



Can you guys come up with more?
and remember to not get offended if you drive a stereotype, because they are just that

[Jam]

import cars (strret racing)and asians (sorry... it is a stereo type)

[happymaan]

I drive a volvo, and I'm 27 years old....I feel like I'm breaking a sterotype.

But I also have bull horns mounted on the front.

[goddfather40]

vw beetles (new ones): gay guy or young woman

camaro: white trash

firebird: white trash

accord or camry: conformist

[present_future]

Chevy Celebrity: Good looking guy

[World's King]

I don't own a car. I ride a scooter and motorcycles. What does that say about me?

[NickKell]

Mustang = solid american

[Seaver]

I have to disagree on the Dodge Ram... I got one for my HS graduation present and I absolutely love it. And being in Texas (the land of the trucks) the sereotype doesnt work here.

60s Mustang = solid American
90s-00's Mustang = age 16-23 Girl

Yup yup.

[ChrisJericho]

I always think it's funny that the biggest oversize trucks always have some little 5'6" dude driving them.

[StormBerlin]

Jetta, gay guys or hot girls.
Passat, same as above.
Big truck, hicks
Miata, old guy going through midlife crisis
Large SUV (Excusion, etc.) if driven by a woman, it's her husbands and she's just trying to act like hot shit.

Escalade without rims=middle class person trying to act rich

generaly worth 1\4 of there house

[GuttersnipeXL]

Cadillacs...pimps or geriatrics
Subaru Outback...lesbian

[Redlemon]

C'mon, no one has said the obvious?

Hummer H2 = small penis?

(edit: reading too quickly, sorry Dano!)

Did you consider new pickup trucks? Old rusted out trucks, sure.

New trucks are for the young, fun loving, outdoors crowd.

[laconic1]

New trucks - People who like to think they are young, fun loving, and outdoorsy even though they aren't.

Big SUVs - Compensating for small penises, the smaller the penis, the bigger the SUV

Imports with wings, stickers, spray painted interior trim, and coffee can mufflers - High school racer wannabes that think they're badasses.

[DerBlitzkrieger]

This is what I think when i see certain cars

Kia Sephia - I learned nothing from the failure of Daihatsu.
Lotus Esprit - Ever pay $2000 for a tune up? I do.
MGB - I am dating a mechanic.
Buick Park Avenue - I am older than 34 of the 50 states.
Jeep Wrangler - I am fiercely independent, just like all my friends with Jeeps.
Chevrolet El Camino - I am leading a militia to overthrow the government.
Rolls Royce Silver Shadow - I think Pat Buchanan is a tad too liberal.
Dodge Charger - Reliable is boring. My car is exciting
Dodge Daytona - I delivered pizza for four years to get this car.
Infiniti Q45 - I am a physician with 17 malpractice suits pending.
Plymouth Fury - I like driving an air-conditioned sofa that can carry your car in my trunk as a spare.

No apologies necessary redlemon. There's gonna be a certain amount of duplication/overlap along the way.

Ok, I agree, I'll modify this to say models from 1980 on.

[TopRamen66]

Old Beemers: Rich people drove this car when it was new...
Econo with Shopping Cart Wing: Vin Desil is such a badass in that movie...
Mercedes CLK: My daddy bought me this to go to the mall in
Camry: Like a Japanese Town Car
Big SUV: either "Bigger is Safer" or "i have a small penis"
Beater Trucks: Hick
Chevy Blazer: Hick and proud of it

I sure as hell dont fit into any molds when I'm driving my MR2 Turbo. Its lowered with 17" Volk wheels and other seemingly "rice" stuff to the untrained eye. Honda Boys (another stereotype i know) give me hella weird looks when I get out (6'4 White guy), or when they hear the AC/DC and Slayer blastin out tha windows

Agreed, 2nd, and 3rd generation camaros are white trash territory.

Nice, gotta love the MR2s. As a tall white guy, I know that when I eventually get the cash to pick up a very nice sports car (thinking 3000GT VR-4 or RX-7 FD), I'll get some odd looks from the ricers.

[gnort]

When I first read the title I thought this thread was about Car Stereos....my bad

[Jam]

old camaros rule.. my moms got a 67

eh...i drive a 2002 mustang and i'm a young guy...


Eitherway for me:

Honda = Economic person
Benz/Lexus = Rich person
Porshe = Successful good looking rich person
BMW = See above

Fart Cans on any car = Ricer..(though they do boost perfornamce)

OMG that is so true! I've got an '89 chevy celebrity with that nice dark blue peeling paint Next to it, anything looks good Only 84,000 miles but it has problems. Hopefully will replace it this xmas with a brand spanking new Mazda 3 Any sterotypes about that yet? Just came out last month, so hopefully nothing bad

thread moved here from GD

[MSD]

I drive a Bucik Century. My mottos:

"Dragging down the average age of Buick Drivers since 2002"

and

"Bringing up the average speed of Bucik drivers since 2002"

As for the comment about Town Cars being slow old people, I drive my mom's Town Car sometiems, and I'll let you know that they have no problem hitting 100mph

[Pragma]

Porsche: Would you mind holding the microscope for me while I find my dick to piss?

[1337haxor]

rims that are more expensive then the car = lives in the ghetto and acts all gangsta

asian woman = *PHEAR!* (my mom almost wrecked my car)

[Crack]

Honda Civic: I just graduated Collage, and I have no Credit
Honda Civic Si: I will never graduate collage, and I will be dead at the age of 23 from a head on collision with a pigeon going 145 MPH (Me, not the Pigeon)
Geo Metro: I just found the car in an alley with a note that said please give me a good home.

interesting, because i when i think of porsche, i think: "thank god i am done with med school/ law school/ business school (pick one) and now i think its time reward myself a little bit.'

or

"i've busted my ass to make my money, and now its time to stop fakin in these $30k wanna be sports cars, and get with a real thoroughbred perfomer."

if i had a small dick, i wouldnt be spending $80k to compensate for it with a porsche, hummer, et. al...i would be making an appointment for a $30k enlargement surgery and spending the other $50k on a brand new 5 series.

anyway, my other favorite stereotypes:

mazda (most) = african
hyndai, kia, daewoo, ect...= cars arent important to me
SUV's = ultimate conformist
benz, bmw, jag, saab, audi = i like cars alot
honda, yota, nissan = too cheap to pay for acura, lexus, infiniti
