Stereotyping RX-8 owners

As an example, I would stereotype most Subaru owners as being liberal, gay, or both (not that there is anything wrong with it). Apparently, it is also a requirement to apply at least two bumper stickers to the rear of the car.

Actually, what I like most about the RX-8 is that I don't think you can easily stereotype the owners.

BTW,

I started this thread just for fun. Don't take it too seriously.

Foo! I thought having an RX-8 stereotyped me. Does this mean I have to go back to explaining myself to people?

I haven't heard many knocks on Subbies - most owners know all too well their performance capabilities, and just crack on the ugly factor.

"The guy who drives a car with no torque"

"Girl car"

"He honestly believes his car doesn't have any pistons"

I really want to know why people think the 8 is a girly car... I know I'm not the only one who has heard this

Everyone around campus just knows me as "The guy with the RX8." I guess its because I have the only RX8 on campus now, not to mention I seldom drive it to class and when I do, it is parked at the farthest lot which is the lot where everyone has to pass when going into campus and it is also the lot were no one parks. Keeps people wondering whose it is if they don't know.

Car enthusiast friends on the other hand know me as "Car care obsessive Rob". That gives them the impression that most RX8 owners are like me.

RX8 owners are stubborn bastards who wont take defeat, and refuse to accept a faulty product as anything less than greatness?

Yeahr, nothing wrong with Subaru except the fact that they save some money on design

I think it would be VERY hard to stereotype RX-8 owners, except I think most of them want something special. Whether it's a design that's different, or the engine or something else.

I always saw 8 owners as epic douchebags on roids who don't know anything about rotary engines...

I fit in the epic douchebag part, will fit in the roids one soon and, depending on who's speaking i may fit in the latter part as well.
Seriously though, my avatar stereotypes us well
