The only car I would say that reflects negatively on the person driving it is an Audi (and I called that before Top Gear did!))
    Why the Audi? I find myself judging people harshly that drive the big commercial Hummers. I don't know why - they just seem, what, gluttonous, bellowing something obnoxious. Like a fat man draped in gold and farting loudly in public. Also, men in Corvettes with slicked hair, fake tans and thick gold chains on their exposed chests say douchebag.
    The Rules
    Copper- behave toward others to elicit treatment you would like (the manipulative rule)
    Gold- treat others how you would like them to treat you (the self regard rule)
    Platinum - treat others the way they would like to be treated (the PC rule)

    Personal experience with regard to their driving style. I used to have the same loathing with regard to VW Golfs, but it seems they've mellowed down.

    It's all a very subjective generalised opinion, but one I see confirmed again and again by my selection bias.

    edit: Almost forgot, english BMW drivers are fun to tease as well because Top Gear labeled them knobs for a while and they get all defensive *waves at Timbu and LoR*

    My opinion changed on Hummer owners when the the brand was killed, the rush to sell off the inventory pushed hummer prices below what I paid for my car Now I just feel sorry for them.

    and I haven't met a person yet who doesn't think the jersey shore image doesn't scream douchebag.

    I've never seen Jersey Shores.... I have seen douchbags in Corvettes, though.

    I understandably like Alfa Romeo.
    Tomorrow is like an empty canvas that extends endlessly, what should I sketch on it?
