You Are What You Drive

Every person has opinions. Everyone has likes & dislikes. And everyone has prerequisites of what they are looking for in the opposite sex. When people ask me what kind of guy I am looking for, one of the first things out of mouth is "he has to drive a truck". Driving a truck distinguishes a man, makes him more masculine. He is most likely a manly man, one who knows how to replace a tail light, change a tire or has a hammer laying around for whenever something needs some pounding. Hunter? Maybe. Fisherman? Most likely. Beer drinker? Absolutely.

In contrast to a man who drives a truck we have the men who drive sport cars. (Who I would like to point out are most likely wearing leather jackets).They are the ones who only order 'captain & coke', have all black comforters and wear Affliction t-shirts. There is a certain presence a sports car man carries with himself. Maybe that he is going through a mid-life crisis, has some self-esteem issues or is looking for some serious attention. Then there are the few on the opposite end of the spectrum that want people to know that hey, they made it it and have the money to buy one. They can hit 90 mph on the way home from the bar and it is TOTALLY cool. Some sport car douches will even record themselves speeding home from the bar, alternating on themselves in their riding dirty driving position and the speedometer. Oh what a lucky girl to snag that catch!

This being said, can a girl tell a lot about a man from the vehicles he drives? Is this just something I feel passionately about or a common consensus among women? And if it is, what about a man who drives a purple cavalier?

  1. You did not ask for my opinion but here it is anyways... though I agree that a vehicle can define a man, I will have to disagree with the next part. I am not the truck/hunter/fisherman type, I am more the leather jacket/sports car/rich type. Who needs someone to change your tire that is what AAA is for. :)

    As for the purple cavalier driver... no comment

  2. I actually agree with this for the most part. I have a preconceived opinion for HUMMER drivers...they are all the same and there's nothing good about them. Their egos are as big as the gas guzzlin' vehicle. Now their penises on the other hand...not so much. And their brain-well as useless as the huge truck in the middle of the city when there is only parallel parking options available. And now just imagine if he was driving a yellow hummer...well a leather jacket, affliction shirt and hair gel all come along with that, no doubt in my mind. So if anyone comes to pick me up in a Hummer again, it's all over before I even get in...

  3. Hello it's alpaca1 here again...I'd like to add some additional comments to the prior posts. So yes, I DO agree that a car can define or distinguish what type of man the driver is. However, I'm not a truck-guy type of girl...and obviously I don't go for the cheese ball sports car type either. and DUH you won't find me in a Hummer anytime soon. So you ask what is that I like--- me, my ideal car (man/driver) is a 745i BMW. Now not every man can drive this 4-door luxury sedan. YES, that's right-- 4-door luxury sedan...NOT a sports car. Any other BMW wouldn't do it for me---especially the 3 series. But behind the wheel of a 7 series you're more than likely to find a disguished, classy, well established man...just my type.

  4. I am just curious if this also applies to the female driver. I'm sure there has to be similar sentiments.

    And I have another question. What if the guy is wearing an old worn out leather jacket and driving an old beat up sports car?

  5. If a guy is driving around an old sports car and wearing an old beat up leather jacket then he just sucks at life. Period.
