Since I drive a Camaro, people assume.....

Since I bought my Camaro 2 years ago, I've noticed that people have random assumptions or stereotypes about me. So, I thought I'd make a list. Add to it if this happens to you and I forgot something.

And which one of these are you actually guilty of?

Since I drive a Camaro, people assume...
1. I want to hear about the Camaro they use to have and how they should've never gotten rid of it.
2. I want to race.
3. Transformers is the reason I bought it.
4. Yellow was sold out. (my car is black)
5. I hate Mustangs.
6. I'm rich.
7. I speed all the time.
8. It's all I care about.
9. I don't drive in the winter.
10. I want to know what THEY think I should do to MY car. Even though I never asked.
11. I call my car bumblebee.
12. It can't possibly be my every day car.
13. ?

I get a lot of guys who ask me idiot questions... like, oh, you're a girl, you're too stupid to know anything about your car. They ask me, "Do you know which engine it has?" like I'm a fool. Then when I start spewing HP numbers and mods at them, their eyes kinda glaze over. It's amusing.

People assume I'm driving a lot faster than I really am. The Camaro gets lots of respect in traffic that my Fiesta doesn't at the same speed.

...assume I'm a redneck and live in a trailer park. Nobody's ever asked where my mullet is, however.

I try to be cordial to people that drum up a discussion over seeing the Camaro. At least I get a chance to try and "sell" them on the joys of Camaro ownership.

Forgot to add...as Uncle Ben says, with great power, there must also come great responsibility.

I honestly think it wouldn't bother me so much if people didn't ask/say it like it was a bad thing. It's usually the first thing out of their mouth when I tell them what kind of car I drive
