My dad has a Subaru and a Porsche. I always tease him he is the only GOP voter to own a Subaru, they are generally driven by SWJ. Porsche is usually driven by older rich white guys for some reason and same with Corvette not always the case but in general.

Not based on my experience up north in the Snow Belt. Many drive Subaru regardless of political affiliation because it is the cheapest AWD vehicle that performs well in bad weather. I always have at least one Subaru because of the AWD, ability in the snow, and excellent safety ratings.

You can’t tell someone who is driving a 4 door truck we’re they can and can’t park it’s a free country they can park anywhere a car can period, who are you to tell someone we’re they can and can’t park based on what they drive this is America land of the pickup truck.

Well, don't wonder why I much prefer online shopping, less nonsense to deal with overall.

Many times, stereotypes are based on rough observations........ so, in some places that could very easily be the case but not in other places. many times though, ya drive what ya like

Really, was expecting


"Blacks love Subarus, Dodges, Cadillacs and Corvettes.

Latinos and whites love their pick up trucks. Latinos also seem to always go for their crossovers.

Asians will keep sticking to their Toyota Prius and minivans"

Well, there are fewer rich YOUNG guys, but I still see plenty in Porsches and Ferraris. But yeah, the disposable income to buy a, say, new Aston Martin, means an older person whose made it over years (when the car has a $330k buy-in, you're not going to get too many young professionals who can drop that kind of coin on it...). And in general, people who finally have the means tend to buy the cars they've always wanted from their youth when they couldn't buy, either from cost or practicality (a Corvette isn't much of a family car...)

As a truck owner, I do find it a little more difficult to find parking spaces big enough to comfortably get in and out. At our local supermarket/stripmall there is always a high percentage of trucks.

Country boys with not a lot of money like older trucks. Country boys with a 9-5 job like new trucks.
There is NO truth to any of this. I am neither trashy nor poor and I drive a Hyundai. Why spend a lot of money on a car when I drive low miles and 90% of use is commuting to work and doing regular errands?

This entire thread is outrageous.
