Car and driver stereotypes

[ForestBlue]

Pick a day and I'd probably give you a different answer depending on which car todays helmut was driving.

Todays winner is Audi

 

[SerenityNigh]

Utter nonsense, spouted out of pure ignorance of the car and it's battery technology.

*already taken care of by PITA

The wannabe hard men getting around in them stupid big american chevy or ram utes. Cockheads

Hahaha I saw a fella fuelling up his F150 Raptor up at Cheshire Oaks. Massive oversized wheels and lift kit on it for nipping down the shops.

Obvs, he had a big lumberjack beard and weird calf tattoos.

Can’t imagine a Raptor in the UK. A Yank driving it or some weird flex by a local? I drive a tiny car by local standards but I’d probably be a Tory whopper by UK standards.

*it’s a Toyota

Tundra?

Yeah, I was surprised to see it when I was over. I'm not sure it's even sold there or for some reason he did a personal import.

Perth is renowned for having more than it's fair share of nobhead drivers, and when I get inconvenienced by one, I invariably remember "There's always a dikhead in a landcruiser"

Ford Ranger and Toyota hilux drivers are starting to give them a run for their money now though

Here it's the kids who spend more on their muscle car than their rent and rev their engines really loud on neighborhood streets at any time of the day or night.

What really grinds my gears, so to speak, are those attention whores who use the nitro fuel, making their cars sound like they've overdosed on Mexican food as they do their "look at me" sprints down my street at 2 in the morning. Almost all of them drive Honda Civics.

I drive a 4Runner, Yank version of the Prado/Landcruiser. Of course we have our own Landcruiser and what a beauty of a boat that is, but I’m not Tory enough to afford that.

Todays ford ranger is yesterdays v8 commodore ute for the neck tat crowd.

 

[Kurt.]

Rumour had it that there was an XR4 but I've never had it confirmed. I asked the dealer and they had me shown the door.

Sierra XR4x4…. Machine

My sister got a prado some years ago and instead of referring to it simply as the car it was always called the prado as if it was something special. Noticed that with other people I knew that had them too.

Practically it’s hard to know whether to call it a car or truck. At least these are the binary options in Yank parlance.

But also, you can’t be cool unless you have your own language. It’s like a rite for some types. Does she also go in on the stickers, patches, aftermarket gear? Some locals drive a 4R that looks like a catalog.

That's half way to speaking of yourself in the third person. "It's Jodie's Prado. There's only one set of keys."
