Car Stereotypes

[vulgalour]

So basically, if CMS206 was on the dole instead of on the busses, he'd fit the bill with the Council Estate.

Please note that if there is a meeting of the Clans calling for Jokhad for the disrespecting of the mighty loadluggers, that it was the Artist not me that escalated this from an innocent general observation to something altogether more specific.

JeSwede not Vulgalour.

Funny to read about the car stereotypes. And interesting to see that many of them are true in Austria too, but some don´t. Keep up the interesting topic!

[Junkman]

Which different car stereotypes do there exist in old Austria?

[Taff]

C) 190E 2.0 first series - Old giffer, wife dead, mint apart from rust around the arches and car park dings, mid-green metallic, dark green leather, wood, no stereo from new, top hat alloys from his old W123 230E.

Oi! That's my inheritance your talking about...

Which different car stereotypes do there exist in old Austria?

 

The one with the fat Pick-Up-driving idiot with 22inch-wheels is not existant here for example. Pick-Ups, even the well equipped modern ones, are driven by normal people that need them. Farmers, entrepeneurs, lumbermen, dog-grower, overlander and so on. The wannabe-cool poser-type drives around in big used SUVs like old Cayenne and X5 and Q7. Maybe because the Pick-Ups dont have stupid names like "Warrior" in good old mainland Europe. 

 

The low-budget-motorist is driving almost only VAG now, old Passat/Gold TDI and older Audis. Many of them dirty from the last three winters, smoking like a chimney and the interieur full of waste and biulding materials. The young boys and re-trained labourer who work as financial consultants now drive dark Audis too, used of course because they cant afford a new one. These are the ones that have the really bad driving habits. They think because they drive an 8 year old Audi, they are number 1 on the street. 

 

And in the bigger towns, older BMWs and Mercedes-Benz are driven mostly by young turks. You may recognise them by cheap LED-lights from Ebay and big exhausts. Some of them even have the big AMG- and M-ones. Maybe they robbed their grandma.

Hard to believe that there is now an Austria that isn't awash with go-faster-striped Abarth-exhausted Italoshite driven pushed by ski instructors.

Or mountain farmers with ochre Opel Kadett Caravans.

[nebuchenezer]

I drive a combination of 90's Volvo V40, 2002 BMW E46 and a 64 plate Toyota Auris hybrid - What stereotype am !? 

[Junkman]

Lib Dem.

[HH-R]

Domino's Pizza sign on top = terrifying driving.

[DS20]

^ That's not stereotype, though, that's TRUTH 

[Junkman]

I'd say it holds true for cars with any sign on top.

Reliant Owners:

I used to own & drive a Reliant, but I DIDN'T have a cloth cap! After I'd driven around in it for a bit I gained the impression an E.U. directive compelled all Reliant drivers to wear one when at the wheel, as I've never seen Reliant driven by anyone not wearing one-so I bought one.....

 

An example of stereotypes becoming prejudices before turning into beliefs???

[Taff]

Blonde ladies of any age driving convertibles of any age = filth.

I fear you are one or another year behind! 

 

Ski instructors: Audi Allroad/X5/Q5 or 7/Cayenne

Mountain farmers: L200/Navara/Hilux/Amarok

I've been in England for so long, I can't even imagine anymore what it is like in countries, where the popoulation is living above the poverty level.

New shape Nissan Micra: almost certainly piloted by a blue rinser doing 18mph on a dual carriageway.

If not, then can be heard somewhere using exactly 11,000,000 revs backing into a spec in a totally empty car park.

[Cavcraft]

I knew I'd forgotten one:

 

Harley Davidson: favourite of the 50+ and the two wheeled equivalent of the Chrysler Cruiser. Almost certainly going to be piloted by some silver haired (with a pony tail) goatee bearded loser in life. Will have a tasselled leather jacket (genuine HD and about £3,000) genuine HD saddle bags and probably genuine HD under crackers.

Solves his midlife crisis by having stupid exhausts on his stupid bike, ponces round everywhere with sun glasses on checking his reflection in shop windows and gets extremely excited by the thought of the bi-monthly owner's meet in Skegness, where he can admire hundreds of other pointless big engine shit mobiles adorned in studded leather accessories.

Bought the bike to celebrate being promoted to office manager of a book binding company, thinks he looks the dogs bollocks, but just looks like a massive tit who can't age in grace*.

One of the shows I go to most years is held in a country park and coincides with a Harley/gold wing type biker rally. Great fun to people watch......I think they are mostly accountants, maybe with hair extensions for the weekend, with carefully dirtied leather/denims.

They happily sit through the rock n roll band in the evening and are generally very unoutrageous.

[Junkman]

What about those types, who put about 50 stuffed animals on the instrument panel and parcel shelf and furry covers on their steering wheel and seats?

They must fit a stereotype, I just don't know which one. Ladyboys on crack?
