NAME and SHAME! Are Certain Car Owner Stereotypes TRUE? What Say You, Spies?

Today being a Lazy Sunday and all, I decided to kill some time after giving my BMW M2 a run today. What better way than to hop on YouTube and see what recommendations it had for me.

One of the first clips that popped up was a fail video specifically targeting Ford Mustang owners. I couldn't resist.

I clicked so quick you have no idea, boys and girls.

And after watching 30 moments of when Mustang owners screwed the pooch, a light bulb went off. Are some drivers as bad as their respective stereotypes?

I don't know, honestly. So, what better way to figure this out than by crowdsourcing AutoSpies user's thoughts? Well, Spies, it's time to NAME and SHAME: Are certain car owner stereotypes TRUE?

What say you?

While most drivers do not fall into the basic stereotype categories of the cars they own - the stereotypes would not exist if no one actually fulfilled them.

So - as we know - higher priced cars tend to be bought by OLDER drivers - who by that age - now have the money to purchase one. And these buyers are traditionally looking for a Luxury ride - not speed and handling - so the Buick/Olds stereotype is self fulfilling for lots of Luxury Vehicles. When they were younger - Buicks were "Doctors" cars - something to aspire to.

Audi drivers definitely are ass riders.

Tesla drivers are by far the douchy-est! Aside from the stop-light drag race thing, there is that vanity license-plate thing.

We get it - you drive an electric car - so you don't need to spring far a tag that says "NO GAS" in variations of letters and numbers.

We get it - you are so clever - that's why you bought (leased, hopefully!) a Tesla.

Hyundai Sonata drivers annoy me the most. They are always trying to race on the freeway.
