Subaru WRX - douchebag
Subaru WRX STI - mega douchebag

True.

BMW drivers.... a very complicated subject. Being one myself, granted it is an older 5 series. This is what I have on the subject.

E36 M3- "BMW guy", actually a poor college age kid, that thinks he is the shit for owning an M3 BMW. Thinks the price he paid for it is amazing, when really it was suspiciously cheap
E46- anyone, they are about as common as civics.
E90- rich college students
E32- poor arabs
E38- middle class business men
E90 M3- Blue Toothed business men with the coffee thermos.
E34 540i 6sp manual- Best and classiest drivers around 😀

seriously though, stupid prius drivers.

When I was selling my Suburban I put up ads around campus that stated "Don't be caught driving no candy ass Miata."
hahaha nice job wasting your time.
Miata drivers are too carefree to give two shits of what others think of them driving the "candy ass" Miata. 😀

Despite the Miata's girly looks, especially the older ones, I hear they are a blast to drive. Which makes sense. I have driven an old Alfa Romeo Spider, and that car is a very simple. Small body, small engine, manual, rear drive, and very little weight. It wasn't that quick, but it brought a ridiculous smile to my face and I absolutely loved driving it. I would imagine the Miata would be similar, not slow, not fast, but light weight and just great fun to drive.
 
Lame. Can't accelerate quickly, can't corner well, and can't stop well. Not necessarily the type of Buick I had in mind with my original post, but still not impressive.

That the GNX/Grand National is not unimpressive, not then, not now. They have the potential for stupid amounts of power.

What do you drive that you're so high and mighty?

The GNX is a really impressive sleeper car. It doesn't immediately stand out as a real performer unless you know what it is. It is a pretty ridiculous car for being a "buick".

That being said... it isn't THAT impressive. I definitely wouldn't want one. It has always amazed me how little power American car companies manage to squeeze out of such huge displacements. Such as the 1990 Chevy Camero IROC-Z.. 245 hp from 5.7 liters... wooooww. Also.. 4 speed auto on the buick? what the poop.

Then I'd suggest you be very careful about what minivan you choose to try to humiliate......there are some late 80's-early '90's Dodge minivans running around that hit 1/4 mile times as fast as 12.6-12.7 or so, and then drive home.

Here's one of a bunch out there:

Sorry, as much as some of you would like to call stomping on your gas pedal and hang on a "race", I do not agree. I couldn't careless how fast it goes in a straight line, and that goes for any car.

Indeed. It's the poster child car of one who carries the belief: It's more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow. :awe:
 
Honda Civic = you get EVERYONE from the spectrum.
BMW 3 series = white or asian
Porsche 911 turbo = middle aged white guy or young asian guy
Chrysler 300 = black gangsta or middle aged white lady.
 
indians = Toyota
black people = Chrysler
asians = Honda/Toyota
white men = Ford/Chevy Truck
creepy redneck = Full size conversion van
fat white girls = Cavaliers
liberal homos or teachers = Prius
 
Audi TT - The sort of c*nt that wears designer sunglasses on top of their head rather than over the eyes.


I have to defend this one...

I am not a c*nt and I wear my sunglasses where they are supposed to be , but then again I do think this applies for the convertible TT.

That applies to pretty much all convertibles.

There's just something about the glasses on head look that makes me instantly think douchebag.

The Grand National was only a 3.8L(?) V6 and had ~350lb-f torque. You can go on youtube and see several 1000+ hp Buicks, some running 8 second quarter miles.
