It\u2019s time tostart taking yourself less seriously and have a laugh at your own expense. Well, whether you want it or not, we\u2019re goingto be pointing the finger at a bunch of car brands and applying their totallyaccurate stereotypes to them, thus confirming the kind of person you are if youdrive one. Prepare to be judged. FordLet\u2019s start off with an easy one. If you drivea Ford, you\u2019ve probably stolen someone\u2019s parking space before, even though theywere clearly indicating for it. Ford drivers, even if they\u2019re driving a Focusor Fiesta, drive as though they\u2019re driving a van. This is because the cheapplastic interiors are designed to psychologically trick drivers into believingthat they are actually in a Transit and that their car should be driven withthe same dominance and arrogance that is exhibited in van drivers. MiniOut of all the brands on this list, you\u2019remost likely to be a vegan if you own a Mini. This is not according to any realresearch, but it is true. Mini ownerslike to listen to music at home on a record player because it apparently has\u2018deeper waveforms\u2019 and \u2018richer tones\u2019 but actually, they just prefer vinylbecause it\u2019s edgier. It is also a known fact that Mini drivers arethe most likely to lie about having whiplash in the event of a car accident,because even though they think they\u2019re a good human being, they will stillbetray anyone for some easy insurance money. VauxhallVauxhall owners kept the French flag filter ontheir Facebook profile picture for 3 years after the Paris attacks. This maysound like they were being extra supportive but the truth is, the only thingthey know about the event is what they read about it on Daily Mail Online. Vauxhall owners also own at least one Staffy and hate cats because they don\u2019t have the mental capacity to love an animal that doesn\u2019t need its poop picked up after them. SubaruPeople that drive a Subaru still think thatit\u2019s acceptable to wear a snapback. They survive on a diet of energy drinks andany food they can buy from their local convenience shop, usually crisps. Subaru owners all wave to each other becausethey know that no one else on the road can relate to driving something soawful. Their favourite artist is Skrillex and their favourite pastime islearning new vape tricks. BMWBMW drivers obtained their driving licenses bybuying it from the black market. The only truthful thing on their insurancepolicy are their mother\u2019s details who has been added on as a named driver tobring the astronomical premium price down. It is true that BMW drivers do not indicate.This is not because they are arrogant or poor drivers, but rather because theyhave given up trying to master the absolutely useless BMW indicator stalks. Andalso because they\u2019re arrogant and poor drivers. AudiAudi drivers are high earners, but hate theirjobs. They make up for this by going on holiday to locations like Magaluf andAyia Napa, even though they\u2019re approaching 40 years old. Those who own an Audi also like to startfights at nightclubs and act tough in front of bouncers when their friends arearound. This behaviour is most prominent during the winter when they wearnothing but tight-fitting polo shirts with a pair of skinny jeans and must pickfights to keep warm. MercedesMercedes owners spend at least 4 hours onInstagram each day and are known to photoshop their own photos for betterjawlines, slimmer figures and whiter teeth. However, whiter teeth usually isn\u2019ta problem for Mercedes drivers as they have already been to Thailand to getcheap veneers. Mercedes owners can be sorted into twocategories. Those that own a Rolex and those that haven\u2019t finished the financeapplication form yet. JaguarJag drivers are almost always British andsomewhere around the retirement age. Even though they\u2019re as British as theycome, Jag owners can often be found talking about Donald Trump at parties andgatherings for some reason, speaking about his \u2018charisma\u2019 and \u2018gutsy opinions\u2019.Jaguar owners service their car yearly andlove to top up their oil and screenwash regularly. They love to take care oftheir beloved Jag, which is why they will always drive 10 mph under the speedlimit, just to make sure the abrasive air doesn\u2019t hit the paint too harshly. Land Rover\u2019s Range RoverRange Rovers are large, luxurious andexpensive. This, therefore entitles the owners to a greater share of the roadand also gives them the right to park wherever they want. Even though they havebeen engineered to be able to conquer some of the toughest terrains, the onlyoff-roading owners will ever do is driving up a slightly muddy track to get totheir pheasant hunting grounds. Range Rover drivers may act like king andqueen of the road, but little do they know the Honda Civic that they aretailgating is worth more than their used Evoque that they got on finance.
