If you derive your sense of manhood from the vehicle you drive, you need to do more with your life.

Material things don't make me a man, actions do. I'll drive whatever pleases me and to hell with what a random nobody thinks.
I have had tons of toy cars and trucks and plenty of beaters, v8s v6s turbo 4's it doesn't matter.

Pretty sure the man makes the car, not

The car makes the man

To each, their own. I don’t have to satisfy my ego

Besides, you are not my boss

That cover everything??

While not an absolute requirement of a manly vehicle, a general necessity of a manly vehicle is the ability to haul a full sheet of plywood.

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).

None of those are inheriently manly. Soy boys drive all those vehicles. Manly men drive what they want.

ETA - Corvettes are for old people

Now if you asked what vehicles are almost exclusively driven by manly types, I would say:

LMTV / FMTVs
2.5 ton anything
Oshkosh
Pinz.
M274 mechanical mule
Dump trucks
Trophy trucks
Any daily driven vehicle older than 1980
Anything with a mechanically injected diesel

I left work early today to pick up my boy from school. He needed to be talked to about being disrespectful to his mother last night when I was at my friends watching the game. Then showed him how to cook up some chicken thighs and made a special dinner for his mom.

See, that's not manly, if you were manly in that situation you'd have already imparted to him the manners to not have been disrespectful in the first place.

Any of the early year Ford Bronco's 68-76, jeep before 78 and the same for FJ cruisers. If you own one of these you better know how to turn a wrench. Good thing is they are all fairly easy to wrench on. I rebuilt a 74 bronco from the ground up and all I need was a standard set of wrenches and sockets and some screwdrivers.

Anything actually raced in Baja is manly. Spend a fucking an hour running dirt in a Class 11 Bug, manly. Finishing Baja in ones a great discomfort prep for SFQC

A vehicle doesn't make a dude a man. The choices he makes, how he acts and treats others defines that.

When I was still in the Army, I briefly worked with an older contractor that I eventually learned was a Vietnam era Medal of Honor winner. He was a medic that took out a sniper, a MG crew, and a few other enemies so he could tend to people.

Dude drove a purple Chrysler PT Cruiser.
