And no, I don't live in a trailer park or have a mullet.

..................................................but they can drive a Camaro and listen to Metallica

NightmareSS · 04-10-2009, 12:28 AM

actually i never even heard this stereo type till i signed up on this forum.....why is this assumption made btw? why camaros and not other muscle cars?

I'd rather have the Metallica stereotype then the
Vanilla Ice "rolling in my 5.0" stereotype.

Ice Ice Baby indeed.

When I told people at work that I was buy a new 2010 Camaro, they said that your nothing but a big redneck. Oh well, at least I will have a bad ass car.

Same. I never heard it until I joined a Mustang forum. It's still not something that comes to mind when I see a Camaro, not even with an 80's one.

Stereotypes don't matter when you're looking at your opponent in the rear-view mirror!!

I also think everything has to start at the source....if WE let it go....everyone else will let it go. The only reason it's being brought up in a few reviews is because of the retro-throwback connection they're trying so hard to make. I think once the car has a few model years under it's beltline, this conversation will die out.

I'm very dissapointed there will be no cassette player...... how will I ever play my Bon Jovi and Sammy Hagar cassettes?

fdjizm · 04-10-2009, 10:18 AM

lol huh

nester7929 · 04-10-2009, 10:29 AM

I will have some Skynyrd in my car and I'm proud of that fact.

MrIcky · 04-10-2009, 10:49 AM

WOOOHOOOOO SKYNYRD!

Seriously, I'm in the who cares camp. The media loves to lay on those kinds of images; I think it's part of the American car stereotype. To break the stereotype just keep a nice clean car and try not to look like you just rolled out of bed.

yo man some double wides are seriously nice i swear if you can get past the stigma of trailer park you can get a double wide with a garage hot tub and deck in a park w/ paved roads for cheap, plus taxes are less; some of these people got it figured out no wonder they can afford the irocs
