Should Men Drive Convertibles???
Written by: Ashlan Gorse
I live in LA, and we are blessed with amazing weather year round (with occasional rain like right now). But this is a question that affects all of America, should grown men actually drive convertibles?
When I see a guy cruisin’ down the street, sunglasses on, a fresh tan on his face and the top down…it just doesn’t feel right. His masculinity blew out of the car as soon as that roof was retracted.
Like any rule, there are exceptions. But if you don’t fall under any of these, just know you look like a cheese-ball.
1. You’re a teen and you are lucky enough to have your first car be a convertible Camaro, ‘Stang or whatever car you were dreaming about for the past two years.
2. It’s a classic muscle car. These are completely exempt. You get masculinity points for every foot-pound of torque.
3. Your car is over 150K. I know this sounds snobby, but BMW 6 Series, Aston Martin, Porsche 911, Bentley, Ferrari, etc… are all okay. Just know that if you drive one of these cars you may not look cheesy, but you are walking a fine line to being a douche bag.
4. You are a proud gay man
5. You’re driving your girlfriend’s car, and she is sitting next to you
Otherwise, sorry but you look silly.
