I must really be a loser. I have three Corvettes, a nice family, a nice house, and minimal chest hair. I drive an Escalade as my DD. I like 'Boston' and most classic rock...and I play drums.
They bash most of the other car types too. If you drive a VW, you're a loser hippie. If you drive a small car, your a fat loser in a little car. If you drive an SUV, you're a loser in a big SUV. If you drive a sports car, you are a loser with a little pecker. If you drive a Buick or Grand Marquis, you're an old loser. If you drive a pickup, you're a redneck, hillbilly loser. If you drive a ricer, you're a pimplefaced teenage looser. If you drive a Camry, you're a dead loser who just hasn't died yet.
Honestly, who takes this crap seriousely? If most of these "journalists" were taken as seriousely as they deserve, the unemployment ranks would double overnight. I wonder what kind of car a worthless, gay journalist drives? (probably a Prius).

While some of what he is saying might actually be true for some folks.
A lot of people who think they have the whole cosmos figured out think just like this. Before I changed professions I was a psychotherapist. You would not believe how much crap I got from people in my profession that should have known better, like supervisors telling me that I drive my car because of a mid-life crisis. Not true, but you can't tell people who have their minds already made up. No one factors in that there are some folks who just plain love their corvettes. I remember dreaming about the first vette that I saw at a school crossing when I was a Kid, it was a 53' and I fell in love with that car. I thought about them while trying to stay awake through the long nights in the jungle in South Viet Nam. I loved my 77', my 84' and now my 02'. The correct clinical term that I am looking for in psychology is that these people have their heads up their *** and really can't see the light at the end of their tunnel

And it's damn funny Admit it, when you see certain cars you think about the steriotype driver. Who cares if it rings true in some cases? That's the laugh.

A lot of truth here but, I did not get my Vette for mid-life crisis that was what the 23yo Blonde was for, got the Vette to be burried in when the wife finds out!

"It’s populated by guys who think velocity equals virility"
---I bet I can put my foot in your face before you can say "you gotta problem." Then we will see how velocity equals virility. (don't mind my ugly foot, haha)

"This is a well-represented category, and the stench of insecurity is nearly as thick as the cologne marinade."

---Do I look like I'm insecure. Come on and give me a break


"Never mind that they haven’t the slightest idea how to really handle their rides beyond flooring it and going straight."
---Sure, and I bet you can drive like a pro.


What is next. Men drive pink trucks. HAHA, I don't think so.

He probably doesn't know how to drive. He most likely rides his Raleigh 3 speed bike or walks around the peoples republic of Cambridge Mass. I'll bet he is a courier
