Cars and Stereotypes

Corvette = penis extension. But it's for sale, so I'm likely on Cialis.

Fullsize truck = redneck. I live in BFE, but I do not have a CB, rebel flag or a 4-wheeler.

Hyundai/Kia = cheapskate. Well... that part is true.

Lets see...

Ranger 4 banger: Hoosier
Focus: ???
F150 on aftermarket suspension: Small hootus
S13/RB20 swap: Teenage drifter
Dirt track Cavalier: Backwoods Hick

You can make your own decision upon me.

modified CRX

16 yo F150 4x4

12 yo, slightly modified Integra (soon to be replaced ... take your choice, Cruz, CX5, Fit ... etc ... )

don't really know where those choices put me (64 yo a-x'er, TT'er, and someone that's looking for huge gas milage increase over the Integra)

Ford Mustang = I treat the gas pedal as an on/off switch, I will race ANYTHING and EVERYTHING, I will only race in straight lines, and my exhaust is roughly the same decibel level as a Metallica concert.

E46: The pricks are on the inside

TSX: An E46 for girls, so technically, same as #1 above

Supercharged Miata: I like my gay cars with balls

Impreza wagon: my daughter doesn't do pricks

Grand Caravan: it's more useful than an SUV, really

'67 LeMans: at least it's inside, and not on cinderblocks

Just bought a '99 Cherokee. Rude, crude, and socially unacceptable. Just like me.

Made me do it anyway. Now to figure out how to debadge it and somehow disguise the kidney beans.... Then there's my CRX, which kind of puts me in the same category as the OP, except I'm 52. Then there's my crew cab dually, which has it's own stereotypes, and my vintage Mustang which I'm sure has some kind of stereotype, although I'm not quite sure what.

RX7 = mechanic

Let's see...

2000 Saturn SL2- Cheapskate who doesn't like doing bodywork

1983 DeLorean- Nerd. Perhaps slightly masochistic.

1979 El Camino (not running)- I finally fit in here in Kentucky...

In reply to DaveEstey:

RX-8: Gambler

Spec V - 19 yr-old ricer?

Finally a place to use this.

Miata- My boyfriend thinks it's nice. Handicapped tag on Miata- You know what they say "Once you go black, you gonna need a wheelchair"

Scirocco-Eccentric maybe? I wanted a Delorean but could only afford a VW?

I have a forester and a viper.

Hence I am a lesbian with a tiny wang.

65 Envoy Epic - is there even a stereotype for this?

70 Mercedes 220D - if it was on veggie oil then maybe hippy

12 Mazda 2 - female college student

01 Dodge Caravan - broke middle age woman

I would have said lesbian with exposed chest hair and a gold chain, pinkie ring, watch fetish.

My cars include a Miata, a Saab and a minivan. So I suppose I'm a homosexual preppie who's turned in his man card. I've also had a Viper, 'Vettes and Mustangs, so I must have a grain of rice for a penis...

Yes, I care oh so much about what people think of my cars...

I'll say this - The people on this message board probably buy vehicles for reasons that don't support stereotypes more than most.

Astro Van: No habla ingles.

I drive a four door '64 Valiant with a slant six and an automatic. Apparently, I'm someone's great-grandmother.

Let's see...

2012 Mazda 3: I must be a hot college chick.

1987 Shelby CSX: I must be a Member's Only jacket wearing tech nerd with a moustache

1979 Trans Am: I must be either Burt Reynolds or some dude that exclusively wears teal mesh tank tops and has a mullet

1997 Dodge Dakota: I have no clue on this one. No idea...

I will say the NC Miata doesn't seem to have quite the stigma of the NA or NB. Probably the "oh no, I shrank my RX-8" styling.

2006 RAV4 (my daily) - soccer mom who can't bring herself to buy a minivan
2005 Honda Odyssey - soccer mom who's completely given up on being cool
2006 Dodge Ram 4X4 - redneck (which is pretty much what I am on the weekends - it's currently full of brush for a dump run tomorrow)
