10 Car Models Only For Bad Drivers (5 That Stallions Drive)
Just as there is a woman for every man in the world, there is a type of car for every person. Having a car is no longer something exclusive to be transported from one place to another. From time to time, a car has been a representation of the personality or the particular wishes the person behind the wheel has. It is precisely for those reasons that when you see a car on the street it is almost easy to identify what kind of person is driving. Is the driver a man or a woman? A teenager or an old man? An idiot or a champion? A true stallion or a total jerk?
Sports cars, whether convertible or not, are usually associated with people who like speed and adrenaline, as well as being expensive machines. Large cars, such as SUVs, are usually associated with family cars from traditional spousal type with three or more children. Pickup trucks are often easily linked to people who make a living from heavy work, construction, farming or related. And so on, we can list each type of car in order to identify it with a particular type of driver. And of course, we all want to look like winners behind the wheel, that with just the sound of the engine we wake up the glances of the most unwary, but let’s accept it: not all cars manage to make us look like true stallions, but most of them make us look like real jerks.
15. Jerk Car: Mini Hatch
Unless you are Mr. Bean (portrayed by Rowan Atkinson), one of the TV icons of the 1990s, one of the greatest funny characters not only in British but in world television history, you have no right to drive a Mini. Yes, Mr. Bean is the bumbling idiot par excellence, but he has the right to be and to act like one, but not you, my friend. Driving a miniature of these just makes you look like a slug, no matter if you’re a thoroughbred Briton or not. The only thing you’ll ever do is look like you’re driving a toy car, much more so if you turn it into a sausage car. Unless you have a fixation for hot-dogs, though. Or for wieners…
14. Stalion Car: Audi R8
Tony Stark is one of those characters envied by men and desired by women. This stallion par excellence knows how to live the good life, whether it’s in the Iron Man suit defending New York from alien invasions or in his glamorous life as a businessman and entrepreneur. In the first option, Stark puts on his Iron Man armor; in the second one, he puts on his sunglasses and turns on his powerful and beautiful Audi R8. This sports car, produced by the German manufacturer Audi since 2006, is capable of reaching a top speed of up to 320 km/h (199 mph). The R8 was created in honor of the Audi R8 LMP and managed to win the mythical 24 Hours of Le Mans at least five times.
13. Jerk Car: Range Rover Discovery
Range Rover is an all-terrain vehicle produced by Land Rover since 1970. This full-sized luxury sports utility vehicle can be easily one of the world’s best brands for this type of car. The problem is that almost every single person who drives one of them feels superior and above everyone else. It’s one thing to be proud of the car you drive, but don’t act like a jerk who ignores traffic signals or throws the car in everyone’s way just because it’s big, luxurious and expensive. Yes, the one in the photo is the perfect example of those who drive a Range Rover: they believe they are immune, invisible and almighty. But no. Good luck getting the car out of the impound.
12. Stallion Car: Lamborghini Murciélago
What’s your superpower? This question was once asked Batman by Flash. So, the Dark Knight responded with class and elegance, as he always does: I’m a millionaire. When the Caped Crusader doesn’t fight crime in Gotham City, he navigates his life by trying to go unnoticed as just another civilian. He tries to live the life of a simple businessman who runs Wayne Enterprises, the company his father left him when he was just a child. The problem is that Mr. Wayne is not one of those people with a low profile, especially when he goes from his mansion to the office in a flamboyant Lamorghini Murciélago. It is preferable to do it in the Batmobile if you want to drive around unnoticed, master Bruce.
11. Jerk Car: Volkswagen Type 2
If we’ve learned anything from watching the chubby Eric Cartman from the majestic South Park series, one of the greatest TV shows still on air, it’s that hippies are annoying and smelly. This van was the hallmark of the 1960s hippie movement. Ecstasy, flowers, John Lennon, hanky panky, marijuana and the ugly Volkswagen Type 2. That is how we can sum up the whole hippie culture. The surprising thing is that after so long, almost 50 years, this kind of car is still seen on the streets. I’d just like to imagine Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chuck Norris or Bruce Willis handling one of these things. They would immediately lose their testosterone and manhood, and the respect of the entire planet as well.
10. Stallion Car: Ferrari F12berlinetta
Have you seen the body of a Spartan warrior that Jason Statham has? Next question: have you seen the supermodel this dude has as a wife? And last question: have you seen the cars that this guy drives in his films and the ones he drives as a civilian when he goes through the streets of Los Angeles and London? If the answer was yes to all three, you know how to recognize what a badass he is. Jason Statham is a stallion. If the Earth had to be repopulated, this fella would be chosen by science to do the job. His Ferrari F12berlinetta is one of the best sports cars in the world, and this ripped bald guy totally knows it.
9. Jerk Car: Saturn ION
The story behind the Saturn ION is quite ironic. But a beautiful irony. One of those ironies worth remembering forever. This car was marketed by the Saturn brand, which belonged to the U. S. automobile group General Motors between 2003 and 2007. The ION substituted the Saturn S Series in 2003; starting in 2006, the Saturn ION was the best-selling compact car in North America. But, and here’s the irony, the production of the car ended on March 27, 2007, since it was replaced by the new Saturn Astra in 2008. Reasons? Quite a mystery. Perhaps it’s because it was a horrible but extremely popular car, and maybe GM got tired of having under their sleeve one of the best selling cars in the country.
8. Stallion Car: Aston Martin DB5
It was 1964 when James Bond reached eternal immortality, after the film ‘Goldfinger’ established the ground rules of what would be the world’s most famous spy. Many of the elements introduced in the film would appear in many of the following James Bond films, such as the extensive use of technology and gadgets. ‘Goldfinger’ was the first Bond film to win an Academy Award and had a favorable critical reception. The film was a financial success and is considered one of the best films in the series. Oh, yes, it also introduced to the world for the first time the timeless and legendary Aston Martin DB5, a British luxury grand tourer first released in 1963 that was designed by the famous Italian coach-builder Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera.
7. Jerk Car: Pontiac Aztek
Many websites around the Internet have selected the Pontiac Aztek as one of the ugliest design cars in automotive mechanics history. This car was a mid-size crossover marketed by General Motors from model years 2001 to 2005, and it has nothing to do with its name, ‘Aztek’, which refers to the pre-Columbian culture that inhabited much of Mexico during Spanish colonization in the 15th century. The Aztecs were brave warriors, of strong character, worthy children of the sun god, Tonatiuh, the ruler and leader of the skies. But this marvelous culture has absolutely nothing to do with the design of the Pontiac Aztek. Fortunately, the old man in the picture found a use for his car. Happy browsing, man!
6. Stallion Car: Ford Mustang GT
Action films owe absolutely everything to ‘Bullit’, a film released in 1968 starring Hollywood’s favorite son: Steve McQueen. Little or nothing has to be said about the influence of this film, as it is preserved in the archive of the Library of Congress of the United States, and is specially remembered for the automobiles persecution in downtown San Francisco, a central scene that is one of the first and most influential of its kind. Their protagonists? Steve McQueen, as mentioned above, and the Ford Mustang GT, the stallion car par excellence, and the car that gave rise to a new class of U. S. vehicle called the “pony car,” a sports coupe with a long front hood and short rear end.
5. Jerk Car: Fiat 127
The Fiat 127 has a great story behind it. It was produced by the Italian manufacturer Fiat between 1972 and 1997, being awarded the Car of the Year prize in Europe in 1972 due to its revolutionary design with respect to the current technology for cars of its type. It was such a good machine that many rally drivers chose the Fiat 127 as their car of choice for competitions, as it was very well suited for the ruggedness of the landscape. However, if you have one of these tiny cars in your garage today, you’d better leave it there. Don’t embarrass yourself by going out on the street in that thing, unless your goal is to make fun of yourself.
4. Jerk Car: Lamborghini Veneno
This supercar is the product of too many postmodern minds. The Italian designers behind this monstrosity must be really sorry now. Its production period was only one year, and only three units were manufactured for marketing to the mass public. Its design was based on focusing primarily on the highest possible aerodynamic efficiency to improve cornering stability, so that is why it has such a bizarre and extraterrestrial look. Its price was 3 million euros (something like 3,530,000 US dollars), a madness in 2013, and an insanity in 2017. With this huge sum of money it was easy to acquire two cars that offered the same dynamism and speed of the Veneno, but not at the cost of getting into such a frightful looking car.
3. Jerk Car: Chevrolet Lumina APV
Between 1989 and 1996 this minivan was marketed. In its final year of production, it was replaced by the Chevrolet Venture. The Lumina APV was highly criticized for its appearance. The idea of the design started from that of the Chevrolet/GMC Van, which reached an immortal status when it was used by ‘The A-Team’, a popular television series during the 1980s (from 1983 to 1987) starring George Peppard as the Colonel John “Hannibal” Smith and Lawrence Tureaud, a.k.a Mr. T, as the legendary Mario Baracus. However, the result of the Lumina APV compared to the GMC Van was in vain. The only solution found to make it shine was to join two Luminas in order to create the ultimate ugly mini-train.
2. Jerk Car: Toyota Prius
Let’s be very honest. No one, in any corner of the planet, no matter if they have low self-esteem or high self-esteem, wants to be like the orange t-shirt boy in the photo, particularly if you are posing next to a Toyota Prius. This is a pretentious car, driven by those who want to look very concerned about the planet and greenhouse effect, or just because their idol, the Academy Award winner for Best Actor, Leonardo DiCaprio, drives one of these. There are many more ways to express concern for the ecosystem, but driving a Prius is not one. Or do it if you really want it, since it’s a free country, but don’t feel superior over other just for driving a hybrid car.
1. Jerk Car: Chevrolet Silverado
The Chevrolet Silverado is a full-size pickup truck, manufactured by General Motors’ Chevrolet division in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Venezuela. It has been in production since 1975 to date, so there’s something good to say about it, considering it’s one of the best-selling pickups in the U. S. today, just below the Ford F-150. The Chevrolet Silverado is already part of the American culture, especially in the south. A Silverado, a Texas hat, a good T-Bone steak, the smell of cattle, living in a trailer park and an exciting rodeo. The mixture doesn’t fail, as the driver of these vans is usually a jerk. Is there anything more redneck than this? Yes, maybe this list about people living in trailer parks.
