So in my response to the Jalopnik article noting !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , I noticed everyone seemed fairly eager to shit on Mayer. But he's one of you guys.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
People can say what he wants about his music. I'm a big fan, but music is subjective. That's not the point here.
So pictured below, via !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , here's the John Mayer car collection, including a Gulf Ford GT, Land Rover Defender, a 599 and a Raptor.

the only thing I see here is the ability to buy expensive cars. A gulf Ford GT and a Defender do not a Jalop make. You show me him buying a Ford Escort EXP because he had one as his first car and I will change my mind

well, he can buy cars, that's for sure. I don't know anything about his personal life and I don't like his music....his taste in cars isn't terrible though.

You know what his first car was?
People who buy expensive cars without interest don't buy Land Rover Defenders. They buy G-Wagons. Ask a Kardashian.

John Mayer = us like Soylent Green = people. Wait...
Am I the only one who sees a little wear, dirt and rust as the sign of an enthusiast? Dude's cars are universally brand new or buffed and polished to the point where they could be leased to a movie set for a period piece—which they probably are.
I believe Jay's trolling us a bit. Like Us Magazine trolls people.
They're just like you! They like cars wot go fast! They fill them up with gasoline!

I disagree with that statement, because I see enough idiots rolling Defenders up here. And I would love to know what his first car is. Let's get him on an AMA here and find out if he really is or not

If the definition of Jalop was just people driving dirty brown Volvo wagons and Miatas, no one would qualify.
The guy has good taste in cars. If I had that kind of money, my cars would be clean like that too.

Best of luck with that one.
I don't really believe the Ford GT or the Defender are poser cars. The Audi R8 can be, but underneath it's a very good car from what I've heard.
I think that's indicative of a healthy interest in cars.

Damn you, this is actually Mayer.
In my spare time off tour, I like to pose as a college senior from Kansas posting on small-time car blogs about selling his measly S2000.
It's a weird hobby, but I enjoy it. You'll hear about it on my next album.

His blues stuff with Buddy Guy and BB King is actually astoundingly amazing.
I just wanted to se and alliteration, my high school english teacher said that they were important to use in writing. So why not use them in the proverbial mechanics garage toilet stall wall that is Oppo.

Say what you want about him, but he can shred like almost no other...

THANK YOU. Finally someone here understands he's talented out the ass.
None of these people commenting have probably ever listened to an album.

Those are all good choices, though I personally wouldn't get the gulf livery.

My take from the article...
"Guy is a complete and utter tool, but my god can he play guitar. No two ways about it, no if's ands or buts. No special considerations, the man has a gift. His singing? Eh, not as much... He really has to work to make him sound the way he does, and you can see the strain on his face. But the guitar, he could play that in his sleep I imagine. I would put him up with Clapton, Satriani, even Hendrix."

I personally think the gulf livery is overplayed. It works on a GT but I wouldn't want it.

I question your taste.

Man, I'm not gonna argue with you about his vehicular taste, but he still just skeeves me out. John Mayer has always seemed like the embodiment of the "sensitive, misunderstood" douchebag who's banging your friend behind your back.

He also plays some mean blues but that doesn't stop him from being a douchenozzle.
