Weird (but true) automotive stereotypes

So everyone knows that BMW drivers are dicks, and corvette drivers are losing a deathmatch to dignity, as far as their mid life crises are concerned. I'm not looking for that. I'm looking for the less common (but more on the nose) stereotypes. This one's getting a bit outdated by now but here's mine: lower mid level drug dealers FUCKING LOVE Montero Sports. Featured prominently in the first season of The Wire, as well as the drug dealer across the street's house before he got a new edge Mustang GT, as well as being the ride of choice of one of my friend's (currently incarcerated) crack dealing older brother, I have found that something about selling drugs leads to a bizarre want for Mitsubishi's small SUV.

Ok oppo, your turn- You show me some less well known automotive stereotypes!

GM F-body drivers are criminals and/or rednecks.

STO drivers so do not care about yielding to straight through traffic when turning left. They just ain't care. I honked when I had to come to a stop because some stupid bus turned left on the green in front of me (in the snow of course) and he's the one giving me the gears.

They turn left in front of me all the damn time, I don't know what the hell their problem is.

Anyone driving a Subaru that isn't a WRX or an STi has their radio tuned to NPR, has labs, and if they're not working they're wearing running, hiking, or cycling shoes.

"Jews always buy German cars."

I will never ever understand this. My roommate throughout college had an Audi A4 Quattro, his dad a 740i BMW and an M Clown Shoe, and his Mom a 335xi.

Not really a specific model, but every single real estate agent in my town seems to have a vanity plate that has something to do with real estate ("SOLD", "SGN HERE", "HOMESLR", "PROPRTY", etc.)

Haha, I know 2 people with those Monteros. They are very rough trucks.

Sticking with drug dealers, where I live they ADORE either the Malibu, the Dart, or a Single cab Truck. Any single cab truck.

Couldn't agree more, buses do what buses do, best to just stay clear. Especially when you're on a bike in NYC.

Preface: I swear I'm not all up in your shit today, I think I already replied to two or there of yours.

I live in a primarily Jewish town, next to two other very well-to-do Jewish towns, and far and away the brand of choice appears to be Lexus.

So that one specific family likes German cars, is what you're saying.

I'll counter with "Pickup or not, it's ALWAYS red"

My dad refuses to buy Japanese cars, but he's just a stubborn hillbilly who, funny enough, has no problem buying Japanese motorcycles. I think many people no longer associate modern German cars with Nazi Germany though.

Oh yeah, same here. UAW Retiree, We have all Honda ATV's he loves their quality and workmanship, minus the Mikuni carbs. He has no biases towards Germans or their engineering though, as evidenced by his love of Dolmar-Sachs and Stihl Chainsaws.

I once threw around the idea of buying an older Subaru in college, to which my dad said "well just so you know, I'm taking you off the insurance policy if you buy it, oh and park it on the street if you come visit" (We live on a dirt road) I could tell from his tone, he wasn't kidding around.

This Malibu to be precise . At least 3 or 4 have them exactly like that. 1 of them in white.

Also, these trucks:

Our Subaru isn't tuned to NPR, sports talk instead (even when the wife has been the only one driving it). We have a dachshund instead of labs. We are runners though

Not stickers...I meant vinyl wrap. I see a LOT of realotr vehicles (maybe not their only vehicle I dunno?) with wrap.

Oh. Yeah, there are a couple of those here, but not as many as with state farm insurance agents.

I don't make the stereotypes - merely see them. Here are some of my observations:

Indians love Toyotas, while Pakistanis love Hondas. And people from Trinidad, etc. love Nissans.

Northern Utah... we REALLY LIKE STANCE. Oh and we can't really pick a favorite police car so we just have the lot. Chargers, Fusions, Jeeps, Trucks, P71s, older Chargers, and then some other random ones thrown in for good measure.

OC Transpo bus drivers are dicks.

Sure, majority don't show it, but I had some bad apples on my commutes.

Every time I ride my bike down Baseline (fairly arterial road in Ottawa) in the bike lane, I get constantly honked at and tailgated by OC Transpo because I'm in their lane. The bike lane is also a bus lane. I go on the sidewalk instead, being a menace to pedestrians, for my own safety.

They seem like they want me to trip when they start moving when I'm on board, before I found my own seat on the bus.
