Are you what you drive?

It is me... Classy, powerful, and most importantly amazing to look at

Aren't you a college student? How can you afford paying for school, rent and a car payment like that?

going to buy a red mazda miata convertible so i can pick up cockboys.

If I were secure enough in my manliness, I'd buy a Miata. It's cheap two-seater open-air fun. Responsive engine, cheap to drive, corners well, rock-solid reliability (unlike more "manly" roadsters like the 914 or MG were). Why must I be a gay man to drive a Miata, but I'm not if I'm sporting one of these:



It's like saying black people like fried chicken. Of course they do. Who DOESN'T like fried chicken? Fried chicken is fucking awesome. Miatas are awesome too. It's just a shame only women and gay men are allowed to notice it.

Gay people don't like fried chicken? KingSpeed?

The reason I started this, I was thinking about my car. Real nice Audi A6 4.2L Love it, and was starting to feel like a car snob. A dad at my son's baseball game pulled up in this piece of shit and I found myself judging him for it. I consider my car an extension of me and my style, just wondering if others roll around feeling the same way.

How on earth did you get that from my post?

My point is that gay chickens don't like Miatas.

Learn the post and then game, FAMS.

You have to be careful which uniform you wear. You're the sum of your aspirations, not your experiences.

I just made that up.

I have a Miata - so I am gay.
I also have a Subaru wagon - so I am a lesbian.
I also have a Subaru coupe - so I am a rally wannabe Jap Crap lover.
I also have 2 Alfa Romeos - god knows what these amount to.
Had 3 Jeeps (Manly man?)
Had a Lotus (race car driver?)
Had 2 BMWs (Prick - double prick actually).

So, I am a gay, lesbian, used to be a manly man race car prick but still have classy sophisticated taste (that's what I go with for the Alfas).

I also used to have a Citroen and I rode Hondas, Kawasakis and KTMs - but I am not smart enough to know where these fit in the large picture.

Yup. Better tell my wife about the gay lesbian thing.

My aluminum suitcases are an extension of myself. People with costco luggage = fucking loozers.

Meanwhile, me with my aluminum suitcases reading the latest Monocle magazine rocking my Apolis Activism gear handcrafted by Ugandan orphans drinking fair trade espresso. :MARIS61:

Wrong...pulling down Financial Times onto my Kindle, while alternating between Eminem and 1812 overture on the iPhone with Bose headsets. I almost got Dre's beats...guess I can't be a real baller.

But my coffee comes from the first-class kitchen.

ahh, the Bose headphones. Forgot about those and the Dockers khakis and Rockports. With the Jos A Bank traveller's shirt.

and the real ballers rock the Bowers and Wilkins (I have Bang and Olafson FWIW). beats by dre are straight chav-status.

1812 overture? lolz....rookie.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Rockports are so East-Coast late-90's. But khaki's and a rep tie state "I'm important, but won't freak out at you. As long as you keep the free booze coming"

did you step up to Eccos?

 

[BrianFromWA]

nah, I was a poor Marine at the time. But I would stare in envy at all the cool guys rocking them at the Helly Hansen outlets.

Backpack and Beats by Dr. Dre headphones FAMS!

[MickZagger]

I ride a bicycle.

Is that your new slang for petite asian?

 

[Mediocre Man]

I don't think mine do.

We own a Lexus LS Hybrid, a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited , a Ford F250, and a Yukon Hybrid. My daughter will soon get the Jeep.

I basically use all of them for different activities, and none of them really say who I am? The Ford is 10 years old, and we don't owe anything on the others either. I think it's more important to give the money to people who need it.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

subaru impreza.

I was a college student. Been working for 2 years. Car was bought with straight cash homie.

 

[THE HCP]

Baller^

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

sexy.

 

[magnifier661]

Is that you? Do you roll rides like that cause they represent who you are?

Nah, not even close. I love sexy cars. I used to own a Jeep Wrangler. Personally I think that is the car that represents me. I have to drive those nice cars because I wine and dine our customers. Can't be rolling up in a mid-level car; when these guys are giving us millions of dollars.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Its funny, all my friends into cars are always one-upping each other. One of my friends has an E63 too and he thinks its too much of a family/old man's car.

You know there are times I look at it and say "Damn this car is sexy!" There there are moments that I think just like your friend. In terms of the "sexiest car" I've driven; I would have to say that Cayenne Twin Turbo was my favorite. It was just that car sucked down gas like it was going out of style.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

weird, you guys had the exact same cars....he had a Cayenne Turbo too. :MARIS61:

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I'm thinking my next car is going to be a honda civic. I hate paying a lot for gas and insurance and I LOATHE the mechanics. Fucking hate it.

I'd love to get a baller car, but shit is mad expensive to maintain. That, and I'd rather spend the money on other crap.

If it were up to me, I'd love to live in a city where i don't need a car. Would be so much better.

What about your minivan . . . you swore by that vehicle.

It IS up to you!

I have lifted your yoke and empowered you.

Thank me later. You've got a plane to catch:
