slantasaurus Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 I was just out driving around and I saw a red 77 Trans Am in traffic. After stopping at the gas station, I headed home and saw the same Trans Am parked in front of one of those "We Buy Gold" places. The first thought that came to my mind was "I wonder how many chains he's selling ???"
Greg Myers Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 I was out with the wife and heard the roar and thunder on a late eighties Camaro sitting at the light. Looking over I see an aggressive rake(front down) a fake bug catcher scoop coming up through the hood of course some 10-12 inch deeeep reversed rims out back with plenty of meat on 'em. Then the light turns and he pulls out showing me his yellow traction bars that go all the way to the front of the vehicle and I'm thinking what kind of Yahoo drives something like this? It was all nicely done, but there he was all decked out in his eighties garb. Oh yeah, he was my age (60's).
slantasaurus Posted November 26, 2010 Author Posted November 26, 2010 Hhhmmmmm, maybe he just got done mugging Berrnie Eccelstone ??? http://msn.foxsports.com/nascar/story/F1-boss-Bernie-Ecclestone-attacked-outside-London-office-112610
george 53 Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 Stereotyping???? Izzat like typin on TWO typwriters at the SAME time???? ;)
Chuck Most Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 That's not stereotyping.... it's profiling! I'd have to wonder if the driver had bad hair plugs, sweat pants, and flip flops, too!

Parachute pants and a mullet is NOT a good look for someone that age...........or ANY age.....
highway Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 You know, this sounds fun, sometimes you can guess a person just solely on what they drive, but sometimes you get fooled, too! Let's see how good you can guess me, this is my daily driver.
Draggon Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 Hhhmmmmm, maybe he just got done mugging Berrnie Eccelstone ??? That sure is a match made in heaven!
Corvette.Jeff Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 when i used to have my vette it always seemed like i was back in the 80's i even rocked the aviator shades and converses

Let's see how good you can guess me, this is my daily driver. I probably should keep quiet, since I drive a '94 F-250 (regular cab and TWO TONE no less), but here goes... I'd say you're a rather bushy-bearded dude, who, when he isn't wearing overalls, is wearing a tattered flannel shirt and/or a cowboy hat. In your pocket is always a pack of Marlboros or Skoal, and you say 'Ye-Haw' a lot. No, wait, that's me. Man, this sterotype stuff is hard!
Modelmartin Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 Let's see how good you can guess me, this is my daily driver. Let's see! Tweed jacket with elbow patches, cordurouys, wire rim glasses, bushy mustache, and smokes a pipe, often mistaken for a college professor.

I don't think they are dated to the 80's, they were around long before that and are still around.........
Corvette.Jeff Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 nothing at all, i wear a pair of low tops everday, and yea i realized that after i typed that, i also always wore hightop vans. lol

Andy, that was a pretty good guess, but I think the Count said it best! I probably should keep quiet, since I drive a '94 F-250 (regular cab and TWO TONE no less), but here goes...

diymirage Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 My sterotype of the type of person that owns that truck (you) is to know not to stereotype him to his face, . just because the truck is a retired werecker doesnt mean the driver is

Chuck Most Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Yeah- I've fallen under the 'long hair' stereotype with the cops, too. Funny, most cops have really cheesy moustaches (is that part of the uniform), and nobody sees those and assumes they're ex-Village People.
