Here is a tidbit:


"Any Camaro Wearing Death Metal Stickers
There’s a lot of good to be said about old Camaros: They were available with small-block V-8s, massaged right they handle well, and they’re dirt-cheap. But it’s also true that these cars attract the sort of buyer who saves his greatest loyalty for death metal legends like Slayer, Necrophagia, and Morbid Angel. Vehicle care isn’t a top priority when you have three kids by four different women and a serious meth addiction.



Caution: Beyond the band-loyalty stickers, look out for crumpled parole reports, old visitor’s passes from prominent penal institutions, and abandoned toothless children in the hatchback area. And if it smells like meth, it’s meth "

Yeah it's a good one. The only thing that bothers me about it is that you can stereotype almost EVERY vehicle out there, and make it just as funny. No one ever does this, they just seem to pick on the american cars.

I had a good thread going on a Subaru forum many years ago about this, after they started picking on f-bodies and corvettes, i turned it around on them. Surprisingly, most of them laughed right along with me.

Short Examples:

Camaro drivers have a record
Mustang drivers are enlisted
STi/Evo drivers live in mom's basement
Jetta drivers are **** cheerleaders
Golf/GTI drivers are Puerto Rican
Porsche Drivers are compensating
Corvette drivers are retired

This is just a few examples, but I think most will see that they have alot of truth to them.

Exactly!
Some people associate driving the likes of Bentley/Mercedes/BMW etc with having good taste, class, knowledge....yet I still see drug dealing, murdering felons driving those cars LOL.
