​Your Truck Wheel Source Offers Vehicle Stereotypes

Inasmuch we are what we eat, we are also what we drive, sort of. That is, we are often stereotyped by the car or truck we drive. In addition, we are also stereotyped by the truck wheels we have on our truck, the bumper stickers on our Toyota and the color of our BMW.

In fact, what a person drives tells others their life story.

It’s sad that we have come to this, characterizing others by what they drive, even to the point of judging them as human beings because of their automotive choices. Last time we checked, a lot of people choose their vehicle based on necessity and affordability, not because they desire to reflect their personalities through their Hyundai or Nissan.

Still, if you are driving a Hyundai Elantra, people aren't thinking that you are a sensible person who chooses the vehicles that are well-made, safe and get decent gas mileage. Oh no, Hyundai drivers are the type of people who eat at Applebee's and Chipotle, read tabloid newspapers, still wish Blockbuster Video was around and still haven’t subscribed to Netflix.

There are even those who would venture a guess as to what type of job Hyundai Elantra owners have, who they voted for in the recent election and what their favorite alcoholic beverage is.

We’ll cut to the chase, it’s a White Russian, not a wine cooler as you would have guessed.

We understand how hard it is not to judge someone by what they drive. It’s really tough not to picture a redneck with a mullet and a love for guns behind the wheel of a rusted out old pickup truck. It is just as hard not to imagine the balding, middle-aged guy checking his combover in the rearview mirror of his brand new Alfa Romeo.

Speaking of men having a midlife crisis, here is a list of the top cars you will see them driving.

Audi S5

This powerful German coupe is handsome and has an aristocratic flare and a large amount of sex appeal. So it makes perfect sense that a man in this late 30s or 40s would gravitate towards it.

The Audi S5 offers a 333 horsepower engine capable of propelling this fine coupe to 60 mph in less than five seconds. Better ensure your toupe is well-attached before blazing down the street in this beauty.

Chevy Corvette

We would be willing to bet money that the same guy who invented Viagra drove to and from work in a Vette. This is such a stereotypical midlife crisis car that anybody over the age of 30 should be embarrassed driving one.

Dodge Viper

If the Chevy Corvette isn’t extreme enough for you, a Dodge Viper shows the world what middle-aged masculinity is really all about.

The Dodge Viper is the type of car that men who drink their coffee with a shot of Jack Daniels in it drive. It is the type of car that you want people to hear you burning out in the grocery store parking lot. And it is definitely the type of car you want to be seen in when picking up your kids from reform school.

Dodge Hellcat

The beautiful thing about the Dodge Hellcat isn't the 700 plus horsepower engine, it’s the fact the Hellcat sounds like an angry bull on steroids that was just castrated.

Look, if your wife has already threatened divorce and the neighbors already hate you, then it’s the perfect car to nurse your ego.

Sadly, these types of stereotypes are all too true. When men hit their late 30s, many of them feel they need to go out and buy a fancy car that they really can't afford. They run to the Viper or Hellcat when they feel they are lacking love and respect.

But they aren’t the only group of people who are stereotyped by their vehicle. We stereotype all of the time.

Subaru Outback

If you drive a Subaru Outback, it is likely because you want everybody to know that you are the outdoorsy type who loves to climb 14ers, owns a fat bike that you ride in the summer and own an overpriced Yeti cooler because you are so hip.

If we had to guess your occupation, we would say you are either an engineer or project manager. This makes sense because leading such a boring professional life means you need to be pretty adventurous on the weekends.

Honda Odyssey

The parking lot at your local park where soccer practice is held is full of Honda Odysseys. And that is because nothing screams soccer mom more than a Honda Odyssey.

Between shuffling kids to and from school, band practice and soccer games, mom barely has enough time to even dream of owning anything but a minivan.

But the Dodge Hellcat the neighbor down the street owns does have her intrigued and curious.

VW Beetle

The Volkswagen Beetle is a signature vehicle, nay, mascot, of every college student who belongs to a sorority. In fact, there is often confusion as to which sister owns which Bug out in the parking as they all look alike, down to the flower displayed in the interior.

Really, not a bad choice for a college student who needs a quirky and economical car.

Toyota Prius

Driving a Prius is like making a public statement that the only thing you care about is the environment. And the chances are that your Prius is adorned with way too many bumper stickers touting your political beliefs.

So, you know, Free Tibet and Give Peas a Chance.

Should you actually meet the person who drives a Prius, never mention that you are agnostic and once voted Republican just to see how it felt.

And if you are sensible enough to own a truck instead of a Prius, BB Wheels would like you to check out their impressive selection of truck wheels including a full line of Fuel wheels.
