What's with the "mullet-ride" Camaro image?
When reading news about 5th gen, I saw Camaro being called "mullet ride" and similar, up to infamous "the car of choice for small-time drug dealers and wife beaters" on Mustang fans site.
What's going on, guys? Where did Camaro got such reputation from? Just google for camaro "mullet ride". Or similar queries - I've found "pearls" like these: Quote:
I don't have a mullet, never had one (OK, temporarily - while I was growing long hair, there's always this point where the ones on the back seem longer as they were starting from a lower altitude) etc. I don't know any Camaro fan that wears a mullet (but I know only polish Camaro fans), and the only haircut amongst forum members I could remotely consider unfashionable is Fbodfather's flat-top, but this one hardly counts and looks simply good on many guys. |

Dont know if this has been posted before but its kind of funny.
The reason that the mullet has been stuck with the Camaro/Firebird is because when the mullet was fashionable and "cool" (and yes at some point they were) the Camaro/Firebird was the cool ride. The "cool" mullet wearer needed a ride and such must have a ride of equal or greater "coolness" Answer was the Camaro/Firebird. Now as with most fashion the mullet was deemed unfashionable and uncool after a while, but yet the Camaro/Firebird lived on in its coolness. Now that is when the "haters" decided to label the Camaro/Firebird with the dying mullet in hopes that it would improve the status of their cars. Last edited by dayvedayve; 08-26-2008 at 07:17 AM. |

If you've never lived in the Southern USA, you can't possibly appreciate the mullets statements.
What people leave out is that Mustangs are just as capable of the demographic. |

What would that Transformer's name be. I'll Start
I think he should be called "Mulletor" Only one little problem. No self respecting southerner (including transforming space robots) would dare have a NASCAR bumper sticker without a big visible number somewhere on the vehicle (in robot form also). |

At least that robot knows a good beer! It's a shame that InBev knows a good beer, as well. :(
