    Car and Driver stereotypes?

    I'm sure we have little stereotypes for cars and the people who own/drive them, and I was curious if you guys know anyone who fulfill said stereotypes or if you do yourself?

    I.E People with expensive cars can't park, Honda drivers tend to be boy racers etc.

    Oops! Thought I put this in the General Discussion board. If a mod or someone could move this, that'd be great!

          My cousin is a lesbian and drives a Subaru. It may or may not be a Forester.

            Ill play, lots of Eastern block driver's out my way, most drive salvage title mercs, or e46s lowered of shit chrome wheels missing the front bumper. This was true, throughout High school, and jobs I had worked ( repair shops, lube shops) and i found them to be very cheap, they would put 4 quarts of oil in, if car needed 5 etc, to safe 4$, or wouldn't want to replace a completly shredded serp belt.

            fwiw, nothing agianst them, 1 of my best friends is Romanian, and breaks all these stereotypes.

                I'm a teenager and have a loud car with black wheels lol. Saw firsthand how some BMW drivers think they get targeted by the cops for some reason. I was waiting to try and appeal a ticket and this woman is like "were any of you in BMW's? And I was like oh cool she has a bmw. Tried to talk to her about bmw's, she was the biggest airhead and didn't even know what a 3 series was. I ask her, where did you get caught speeding and how fast were you going? "47 in a 30 through the center of town near the fire station". In my town there are literally 7 crosswalks, all are within a 1/2 mile strip, where this scum was speeding. I really dislike her and dislike how she thinks she has the right to speed where little kids frequently cross the street after getting ice cream or something. Shes an x5

                  ah yes black wheels.... to me, very few can pull it off, the rest is just a fad.
                  man I feel you on those type of bmw drivers.
                  met a kid the other night who received his father's business and makes some pretty good coin.
                  he bought his girl friend a bmw and asked me, why does my Lexus burn out better than my bmw (2006 325i). And they are both automatic. smh.
                  He said that he drove an e92 M3 and he likes it because it's torquey, however, his next choice was surely a gtr because fast and furious was awesome.
                  I couldn't take it anymore and said goodbye

                      How old is he?

                      It started its life alpine white, turned colgate blue then matte white. Had this awful matte black paint on the wheels covered in gunk before I spent hours getting it all off. Then I gave it primer and black gloss. I think it works really well with the matte body. What do you think? I tried grey and silver and they just don't look good on my car because it isn't mint enough to have silver wheels and the grey was too

                        A few quick things you can do to make it look better... Paint your wheels silver, paint your rockers/lower rear valence black, paint your rear marker light trim black, and depending what shape it's in, get rid of the black paint on your window trim, or touch it up. And I'm not sure why your rear end has so much wheel gap, and the front doesn't.

                          I will definitely paint the rear light trim! And I'm not sure why either I'm looking for hr racing springs for the rear. The front springs are too rusty to see the name but the rears are bavauto. It really needs a drop on the back. No silver! It looks bad IMO
                          I painted the front pass side to see if it would be good and it's not my cup of tea. With caps maybe but I only have 3/4 and I hate having one wheel capless so I keep them off

                            Yeah that looks bad. But I think it's the paint you used. Looks a little too shiny, and not quite the right shade of silver...

                            I used I think something by duplicolor on my wheels, and it looks okay. Might look better if my wheels were nicer.

                              I will check that out. I haven't tried like the OEM silvery grey classic bbs/bmw color yet. It may be awesome!
