Good thing I dont worry about "street cred" as I drive a Fiat Panda-basically the thinking mans version of the 500c and about £3K cheaper!
Cheap to insure-even in city, £30 road tax, 60mpg on motorway with good headroom-so good in fact that Fiat had to spoil it by bringing out a new version thats larger & a lot dearer. The money I save on running this pays for my fun-time on the Fazer.
Interesting theme though as I often wonder what motivates people to buy certain cars-Image? Ego? Fear? Self-worth? There are definitely stereotypes.
Observation in Birmingham:-the number of Mums on the school run driving massive 4 x 4s when they cant see over the dash & have to have radar type reversing aids. I wonder how bike riders are perceived by motorists-when I rode my friends YBR 125 on L-plates I was amazed how I was treated with contempt as the cagers desperately tried to overtake me when I was "making progress" @ the speed limit for the roads I was using. Funny this doesnt happen when theyre looking @ a fat rear tyre & sports can!

Fiat Panda's are fine. They're good, honest cars and because they don't have fake plastic flowers on the dash, they aren't driven by bimbos!

4*4's need a sticker saying "Does my dick look big in this" when the answer is usually "no you just look a dick in it" (Unless of course you happen to tow big trailers or live up a glacier)

If not bike it's usually a tatty skoda fabia diesel, it's the Mrs's car. (can still do cambridge to holyhead in 3.5 hours, alledgedly...)

I used to love cars, and I dreamt of having nice fast car one day.

My mate (VFR Rider) said, if you wanna go fast, get a bike. Since having a bike, I really REALLY appreciate, good honest, practical cars, since I get all my thrills from riding.

Keep your fancy cars (that I am still faster than anyway), give me my practical Focus anyday!! (After the Fazer of course)

Yup....ditto!

I used to always want the fastest car possible and I enjoy accelaration. As soon as I got a bike they became irrelevant and I actually enjoy just cruising in eco mode whilst driving now as I get my kicks from riding. I've driven a Ferrari F430 in anger on a track and although impressive, it's still not the same pull as my FZ1

I can see what your saying but you can get the same from a Ford fiesta, and still maintain some level of credibility

What about colour? My polo is okayish for a cheap run around but the same model and year in lime green/ pink / etc.. - wouldn't be seen dead

reaperx · « **Reply #22 on:** 21 April 2012, 03:58:50 pm »

I suppose you can get away with a polo as long as it's not vw harlequin style
