"You think clothes make the man? Think again. Actions speak louder than words, and what you drive says more about you than apparel ever could. What’s more, certain types of rides frequently appeal to certain demographics -- to the extent that you could classify the drivers and their rides of choice after giving either the once over." -- AskMen.com

Nugent’s Disciples
For these revelers of the life simplistic, The Nuge is god and Larry the Cable Guy is a kindred soul (even if he does get a little cerebral on ‘em every now and again). They have actually plead, "Git 'er done" in front of a judge. Like the Two Guys in a Subaru, the mullet is a timeless form of self-expression, although they’ll disagree with the other group on everything else. They also have little to no regard for wildlife, soap, forethought, orthodontics, peace and quiet, condoms, shirt sleeves, sustained sobriety, or climbing the corporate step stool. Their rides are bigger than the trailers they live in -- and more expensive.

The rides: Any oversize, sky-high domestic 4x4 pickup that’s bigger, better-equipped and more expensive than the trailer next to it. Mandatory features are a gun rack, sketchy exhaust and any or all of the following stickers: favorite NASCAR driver number, "Fear This," confederate flag, Calvin peeing on something.

I haven't washed my '98 Corolla in a couple of years. I think it's overdue.

I'm not sure which category it falls into in this article. It falls in with the first part of the Brisk & Disgruntled description:
"High-mileage Asian econo-boxes..." but not the extras:
"precariously held together with thick aftermarket body panels, a towering wing on the trunk and a cannon-sized tailpipe."
 
This is me ... ROFL..

"Testosterossa
This is a well-represented category, and the stench of insecurity is nearly as thick as the cologne marinade. It’s populated by guys who think velocity equals virility. Nevermind that they haven’t the slightest idea how to really handle their rides beyond flooring it and going straight. So, with shirts open and gold chains resting on a nest of chest hair, they flaunt what they think they've got and cruise for chicks. And they do get noticed. Women everywhere point and smile at them. If the guys weren’t cranking Boston’s Greatest Hits so loudly, they’d realize the ladies were actually laughing.

The rides: Camaro/Firebird, Corvette, Viper, and European exotics that have never had track time." -- Askmen.com

I love my GTO and it stays very meticulously maintained/detailed/clean/fresh smelling. I drive the speed limit and only use the power when I need to pass someone OR if I am legitimately at a track. I just love the feeling of the pushrod V8's torque slightly pushing me back into my seat as I humbly accelerate from a stop, or drop down into third gear on the freeway in an attempt to pass someone driving 50 in a 70 zone before coming up on the next cluster-fuck of cars. We usually take my car on trips to L.A. since the ride is very comfortable, and the stereo rocks. not to mention, the tinted windows all-around give an extra feel of privacy whilst driving around/sitting in L.A. traffic. Not to mention, there are several on-ramps in the area that are about 1/8th mile long, or even shorter than that... where having the 443hp routed through the 6 speed Corvette gearbox...and independent rear suspension... really comes in handy. When cars are zipping by at 85-90mph and I am sitting at the metering light, waiting for it to turn green...I am fully confident my GTO will get my wife and I up to speed in less than 5 seconds to 70mph. Awesome feeling... and knowing that the cars on the freeway arent expecting a "G6" or "Cavalier" to accelerate that fast. Usually the look on the guys face whose driving the BMW or Mercedes wasnt expecting me to be door to door with them after a short amount of time. This is when I set my cruise control and drive to the tune of 27 or 28mpg for the 180 mile journey home.

My car is a blast.
 
I drive an E-Class Mercedes. That makes me the kind of guy who thinks Mercedes are beautiful.... ? :eek:

You forgot to add the plastic dangling nutsack to the tow hitch for those lifted trucks.

This really cracks me up! This writer is very creative.
