Overland "Types?"

[Outdoordog]

Douchebags and Douchebags that drive Toyotas.

So many here in socal.

Flat brimmed caps, face/neck tattoos. Will drive by you at 50 mph while you're airing down/up. Throw beer cans on the trail.
They'll also go on the badge of honor trails, holding up the line for everyone else, and stacks tons of rocks to get over obstacles when clearly they shouldn't even be on the trail.

you can pretty much look at a person's vehicle and tell a lot about them since vehicles are basically an extension of their owners...

think about it...a loud exhaust vehicle is usually owned by a loud exhaust person that demand attention. a fancy pickup with a spray in bed liner that is kept immaculate is usually owned by a guy who doesnt do any physical labor and wont get dirty himself. people with lifted vehicles with tons of unused accessories bolted to them are going to be people that capable of doing things, but lack the motivation/confidence to actually do them. dont even get me started on PT cruisers and EV owners...

so next time you are out traveling, find a person and watch them for a few minutes and then see what they drive. i judge people all the time and so far i have found that judging people on what they drive has been a very accurate and quick way to categorize people...

I like the thought behind it... but careful on being too judgemental ;-)

Sometimes circumstance and other hidden things can play a big effect too on people

Though I would agree that yes pretty much a lot of what people drive reflects their personality

Some would even break this down by brand eg. X brand over Y brand... say Ford vs, Jeep, vs Audi, vs BMW and so on....

But ultimately irrespective of what you *think* a person is like, it's better to be able to see if you can get on with them and they may just surprise you
It seems to happen a lot before marriage haha

Here’s a funny one that happened to me a few years ago. For context, I’m a woman and live in a suburban neighborhood where the majority of people drive smaller SUVs or fuel efficient sedans.
I’m walking from the grocery store to my truck (lifted black 4Runner Trail with lots of park/outdoor decals), admiring how shiny she looks after having washed and waxed her earlier that day. A guy walking near me sees the direction of my gaze and says with a snide laugh, “Somebody’s compensating.” I looked at him and responded, “Really?” as I hit the unlock and the lights flashed. I chuckled and he slunk away without another word.
I, too, have misjudged someone based on looks and was severely wrong, so I had no hard feelings about the encounter. It’s easy to fall into the ass-u-me trap!
