I like the fact that the F150 and GTR are on completely opposite ends of the spectrum.

Please feel free to judge/stereotype...


I have a brand new ecoboost. Sure, I could have sprung and got one of the bad boy diesels, but I don't need to prove anything. I don't need to be the quarterback, everyone knows that I made the team. And I probably got more action "off the field" than the QB did anyway.

Highlander: I want something that has all the creature comforts and so much reliability that all we have to worry about is gas and oil. My ride isn't flashy, but it's got the power and comfort that keeps me happy. You certainly wouldn't catch me in a minivan and an Accord is too plain. Sure, I could have gotten a flashy sportscar, but I have a solid crew of career women I hang with and when we are at our girl's night happy hour we see those "flashy sportscar driving women" and just laugh because we know they're the poster child for "Trying too hard".

GTR: I could have an ordinary sportscar, but I was drawn to this one for the sheer genius that went into its design. Yeah, I've seen all the Fast and the Furious movies, but unlike you I don't play video games all day long and I don't live in my mom's basement and yes, I can afford this car. I didn't get it to be flashy, I got it because I could. It's basically a Ferrari but without the billboard of "Viagra midlife crisis rich guy" that comes with the Italian steed. When I show up at car shows, I'm surrounded by all the European sportscars, and they make a spot for me to park because honestly they can't find anything bad to say about my ride.
