well my car is small and white, so by this logic, I’m compensating for a stereotypicaly black....

A low-mileage perfectly average metallic purple penis?

Hmmm....given that I sold my fifth wheel trailer, my truck is now compensating for...my motorcycle’s lack of size.

Well, it’s a truck, so that means I have a small penis.

But it’s a small truck, and small things mean I have a big thing because I don’t need my vehicular thing to be a massive thing.

But it has chrome components.

But the rest of it is grey.

Basically the only conclusion I can draw is that watching what is going on downstairs must be like watching Pinocchio's face if he was somehow managing to tell the truth and lie at the same time.

Dammit, someone already beat me to the “small and white” joke.

My car is very loud. It is compensating for not going fast.

You’re compensating for your trouser animal not being French or Italian?

I’ve heard of only one “overcompensating” stereotype, and your picture contains one of the words. The other word is “small.”

But I’ll play: Both of the sports cars that I’ve owned are stereotyped as toys of affluent narcissists, often seen revving at trendy shops and bars for no reason other than to get people to look at me. I never use the turn signal, and I cut in line and cut people off because my time is more important than an ambulance with its sirens on. I drive down the hard shoulder to gain a few spaces in slow traffic. I also think that yielding to others on the road is like yielding to others in the workplace—it’s for people who lack ambition.

I also park occupying two stalls and I even use marked Handicap stalls if I’m just picking up a few things at Whole Foods.

When I drive my commuter car, I have given up on life as a car enthusiast, and I have the personality of a refrigerator. I am dissatisfied with my life as a sheep but lack the will to do anything about it.

I have a 1.6l Ford Fusion. I can’t be compensating for much.

I own 4 Peugeots. And a Mitsubishi Galant. What am I compensating for?

I have a GTI so it’s overcompensating for all the other cars I wish I owned by doing a little of everything while mastering none of it.

Francophilia.

My car is apparently compensating for the fact that I’m secretly very wealthy, but want everyone to treat me like a regular guy.

(My wealth is such a well-kept secret that even I don’t know about it or how to access any of it)

What does a brown 80s Oldsmobile, a crash damaged Taurus SHO and a German made Ford Capri with no engine say about me?

Compensating for excess awesome. I can live with that.

It’s an old police car, so I guess it’s compensating for my dislike of the police. Or something.

My Tdi overcompensates for the fact that I don’t smoke.

I’m a gay dude and I drive an e46 330ci vert so I’m compensating for the fact that my parents didn’t want to spring for an e92? Or that I wanted a gay convertible without Compromising masculinity?

Francophobia, actually. Otherwise, he’s just expressing his francophilia rather than compensating for it. :p
