Today !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Seems I currently own a collection of vehicles that carry a somewhat negative connotation these days, which I find amusing. How are you perceived by your vehicle choices?

According to my car stereotype, I vape a lot and wear flatbill hats.

What kind of car do I drive?

Subaru. But VW avatar?

I ran with the WRX crowd once...before vaping was a thing.

Everyone seems to love the pickup. It’s nice to talk to people about it.

Still no comment or interest in the Celica in person. The only reason people on here know what it is, is because I post about it UNREPENTANTLY.

Apologies for the sexism, but I don’t have the highest opinion of the public’s initial perception.

My recently departed M3 makes for more fun stereotypes than my S10 I have now.

The M3 was automatic, had 180,000 miles, been repainted 3 times, rust, aftermarket lights, was lowered, and had deeply tinted windows. Not to mention 8 owners. Ultimate tuner douchebro. Someone who bought the car for the badge and nothing else. Someone who drives on the street like it’s a race track. I’m sure people could dream more up.

The S10 has 68k, near perfect body, manual everything including transmission, stock everything save a MagnaFlow muffler, and I’m the third owner. Genuinely can’t think of a stereotype, negative or otherwise.

Bought it from an auction in southern California for next to nothing. Total border crossing truck.

I say that seriously, not in joking about stereotypes. When I bought the truck, it had carpeted bench seats in the bed, hidden compartments, lights and power, the windows were tinted black, etc. And...when I tore that all out I found a ton of pesos and uncooked beans. I’m completely serious.

But whoever owned it before me maintained it excellently. I literally put gas in it and drove it all the way to Michigan.

Had an old ‘95 in college that was all kinds of awesome. Took it out to Moab a couple times and averaged about 10 mpg. More recently bought a 2001 that I fixed up, drove through winter, and sold for profit.

The 95 was 2nd gen so 3VZ. Not surprised that you averaged 10. Since mine is 2WD, I kinda want to lower it but no one makes lowering springs.

Thanks. I have a pretty consistent taste in cars. I have had the old car for many years, and have taken a pic of it with each car I have had since.

Heading for 15 years ago, I took this pic of my pair. A friend of mine called the car on the left the “rich bitch car”, I think he got that from Arrested Development as Lucille had a 126:

These cars were a good pair, but I couldn’t become a car hoarder, and had to let it go.

If I was going to do it, I’d want it to be legit. Even though a low 3rd gen wouldn’t be too bad.

Not stupid low or anything needing to notch the frame. Maybe 2 - 2.5 inches down with some different wheels.

Tell me about it. It’s frustratingly anti-climatic. I know the pt isn’t fully appreciated around, so I wanted to do crazy things with it so people would be like “it’s ugly.... but I respect how you handled that turn at 40+ mph.”. Heck, I felt like i was getting good at driving it. Tire squeals and body roll happened on a daily basis with the way I drove.

Now the pt cruiser lives on spiritually in my new used ‘07 Grand Prix, and the pt is waiting for me to either junk it, fix it, or sell it. Still haven't decided...
