Not trying to be political, but I saw this Volvo a few weeks back and giggled. Illinois, brown crappy volvo, bernie stickers. Kinda the quintessential stereotype car.

Just wondering if anyone has any other examples of automotive stereotypes, cars that have reputations and owners that fit them, ect. Priuses with eco stickers, subaru's with owners who vape, big truck drivers who are married to their cousins, ect.

I knew a guy that put a TPI 305 with a T-5 into Volvo 240 sedan with a pair of glass packs. That car surprised a lot of people.

My personal favorite, the vast majority of people believe that all cars on big wheels are slow, which couldn't be further from the truth.

I used to be one of those guys, untill I saw an 80's caprice run 11 flat on 24's lol
He'd be in the low 10's with the right tire...

Different strokes for different folks that's all. Most people assume because I have a Monte Carlo that i listen to wanker music. I actually have a mullet wig as a joke because of this stereo type haha

Lotsa stereotypes out there.

2nd + gen Camaro owners and mullets

1st gen Camaro / Mustang owners who think they have the worlds best car ever made ( toss in vette owners as well ) but are the first to leave the carshow as soon as it clouds over because they cant get their car wet !

Jeep TJ / Renegade owners with 30"+ wheels, lift kits and 4wd who park them in the winter ( I have 2 friends that do this )

Hillbillies = who drive anything with brass/chrome nuts off the trailer hitch.
