That symbol means a myriad of things. One of them being “I don’t read The Punisher.”

I want to call this just a stereotype, but...

Corvettes. Owned by old retired guys that only wear Tommy Bahama shirts, New Balance sneakers and jorts.

That second paragraph sounds exactly like Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) area too. Or nearly any big city in Texas. 

Agreed, but I think this goes double for the Miata. Had a neighboring shop when I was something like 10...they had a nice Miata they were flipping for $500; I wanted to buy it (yes, 10-year-old Me had $500...I’m good with money!), but backed-out because my dad called it a “chick car.”

WRX and the flat brim hat and vape


That stereotype that BMW drivers don’t use their turn signals is total bullshit. I have two BMWs and use my signals at least a few times per year...

The ones who think they’re the biggest badasses are the ones who let stereotypes make all their decisions for them. “I’m the rule breaker who’s following all the rules!” It’s the ultimate sadness.

Miatas are driven by gay men.

That every V6 Mustang or Camaro (especially ones from the ‘80s-’90s) were driven by secretaries and dental hygienists. I heard that one a lot reading car magazines.

Because alot of it is true =) They put the brightest lights possible, just to ride your butt in the right lane at 80mph

Stereotype: Drivers of lifted Diesel pickup trucks with huge tires and large diameter stacks sticking out of the bed are dangerous racist jack-wagons.

They saw an untapped demographic that had no current brand loyalty and decided that the only thing that mattered about a person was not their sexuality but the color of their money. And it paid off for them, big time. LGBT communities still have a lot of residual brand loyalty to Subaru for treating them like actual

Fun fact: Subaru was one of the first (maybe THE first?) automaker to include same-gender couples in their advertising, which greatly increased their popularity in the LGBTQ population.

I honestly don’t understand why this is a thing. My boss purposely avoided getting a Forester for this exact reason.

I’ve owned several of these and I’ll take this spare tire placement any day over the under-the-floor nightmare we have to live with now. At least with these you could just push/pile some stuff to the side and work the spare out. Got a trunk full of stuff in a modern sedan? Have fun taking EVERYTHING out to lift the

Imagine wanting a Kia Rio so bad that you’re willing to sit in a Kia dealer and haggle down $8000 worth of markups over the course of 5 hours. I’d probably just, like, find a better car.

I’m not a Kia hater by any means. In fact I think the Forte sedans in question are some of the best looking lower priced sedans on

The south has hand pies. 

Maybe hand pies? The US seems behind in that area - and yet we love portable food. Doesn’t seem like too much of a stretch.
