Default What you drive and where you are

This is to test my theory that where you're from (where you spent the most time, I don't care that you were born in Mass but moved to GA when you were 3 and lived there ever since...that means you're from GA) affects your car preferences.

Please don't write in to argue a Corvette is more balanced than a Boxster, or whatever, debating the cars isn't the issue. I'm just curious if you prefer the Big-HP (generally American) battle-axe approach, or the smaller, lighter, less-powerful scalpel (euro/asian) way.

And don't bother telling me about your favorite superduperexotica vundervagon Enzo that you think fits both categories, just pick one of the above.

For this forum, I'm thinking maybe I should have added a choice "I'm Asian, it doesn't matter where I live I don't like Corvettes..."








Kidding, KIDDING! Don't hurt me!

Yeah, but it's not about the total of "balanced" people vs the total of "bruiser" people, I'm interested in the percentage based on geography...like if 80% of east coasters pick balanced vs 40% of Midwest/Texas. I think it should be instructive.

The art of BS questions to drive a poll to the desired result.

Eh, what's my desired result, and how would you frame it?

You tell me..

What makes a car balanced? It appears from the poll that there are just a few kinds of cars, a select number called balanced, and a couple called bruisers.

Is balanced referring to weight distribution? Average horsepower? I wonder were the Porsche TT or CGT fit.. or many others.

And when did Texas move to the Midwest?

Like I said before.. this discussion is al about perceptions and this poll is apparently about your perceptions.
