A good friend of mine is a BAMF and he drives a 4-door Hyundai.

He gets hotties up the ass and he has nothing to prove to anyone.

It's not the vehicle surrounding the man, it's the man behind the wheel.

None of those traction controlled torque managed bloat machines are manly.

A Prius is built like a tank, starts every time and gets amazing mileage. Is it what you call manly?

A vehicle doesn’t make the man, but some vehicles certainly don’t scream masculinity. Probably more about don’t than do.
I really don’t care too much about what people think of my vehicles. I bought them because they were cool to me then modified them to suit my wants. Most people don’t care anyway.

That is a thing of beauty, sleek and graceful. I make the Mmmmmmm noise when I look at it.

This is what I picture when I think masculine aircraft, I make the BBBRRRRRR with a grunt.

Probably being too serious in this parody thread but the "manly" thing to do is get the vehicle that does the task at hand the best.

For example, if your vehicular needs are a 70 mile-a-day commute, don't buy a Suburban (which is the most ironic car name ever, BTW).

I’ve alwasy focused on cars that get the job done.

Long commute days had me in a vw tdi. Construction days had me in a Chevy pickup or a 4 runner. These days I like to get places fast while having fun so, 911 fits the bill.

Me either I've seen a lot more 710/712 than C303s or LR 101s. Especially trade hands. Maybe as many as many as Mogs.

They made what like 18k gen1? They only made 2600 LR101 - I know more than 10% of those are in the US. Shit half the 10 Vampires are here. Kinda surprising on the Pinzie

I know a SEAL Commander that is found of his minivan.

But once upon a time we were in a 1 ton 4x4 suburban helping stranded people during a snow storm and he remarked that it’d be the best to have as a bug out vehicle.

I now have a Jeep and a 3/4 ton suburban 4x4, but would be the same guy in a minivan.

Here's a pic from my younger days. My first vehicles. Each were perfect for their intended roles. Some of them went ship to shore; one went home on leave for 3 cents a mile.

You just quoted the current soccer mom approved list. Honestly I see more women driving pickups than minivans or econo boxes.

ETA: My dad drives a Ford Fiesta, he recently retired his last FWD minivan at 400k. He is retired Army, Green Beret then Pilot. He is also retired from the state, 10 years as a prison guard (a state prison, not a county lock up), then 10 years as a Drill Instructor at a youth challenge academy. It wasn't the car he drove that made him a bad ass.
