Work on a military base. There is literally nothing but BMW's, Mustang GT's and Camaro SS's. No Joke I can look out my window right now and count 100+ of those in the parking lot.

Beamers are more common than hondas around here. It seriously feels like a heard of sheep, seems like no one has their own sense of style.

Few Audi's here and there and the Tuner car of the area is easily the EVO. Theres one on every block. Plenty of tuner cars in the area, not a lot of REAL tuner cars (actual mods) though. Most guys just buy Evo's and debadge them or plastidip the wheels on their Genesis. Not gonna judge though, to each their own.

corvettes, porsches, and sti's. this is a town of engineers. the middle paid ones have sti's, the well paid drive corvette z06's, and the elite have porsche's. its not uncommon to see rare models from prestigious makes driving around. i found a gallardo pulling out of burger king and an r8 in lens crafters parking lot last week. just down the street is a gt3 rs used as a daily driver.

So many Fiats, I don't see the appeal to them IMO.

Personally I don't see tooooo many fiats. I see a couple, but it's more so old people just trying to be cheap and fuel efficient. Yeah, also tons and tons of teenagers with shitty lifted trucks and big smokestacks blowing obnoxious amount of black smoke.

We have a little of everything, with the emphasis on Mustangs and Subaru's. The best thing is that there are a lot of wealthy people in Nebraska, but they just don't like to show it. So you'll see some awesome exotics out, but not often.

Very nearly bought an Abarth, best sounding 4 cylinder you can buy in my opinion.

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cujL_wFxY-M"]Fiat 500 Abarth Stock Exhaust Sound - YouTube[/ame]


And a must watch:

But yeah, standard Fiat 500's are like the new beetle or any other econo-box with a little bit of divergent styling thrown in.

In the San Antonio area, it depends on what part of town you drive through, but I live out just northwest of the city. Where I typically am, I see a LOT of BMWs, Mercedes, and Porsches. Otherwise, it's hard to really go down any freeway in San Antonio without seeing a few Mustangs and Camaros, it seems. I have seen a few Ferraris and Maseratis out my way too. Way too rich for my blood...

Mustangs.....mustangs everywhere....
BMWs are pretty common on the island too, otherwise Id say there's a nice mix.

Very true. This is 100% true and not usually what people think of when they think of Alabama. I know I didn't when I moved here from Seattle.

Still, if you drive 20 minutes in any direction from Huntsville and its nothing but jacked-up pickups piloted by people that have an affinity for wearing shirts with no sleeves.

In my small town the majority of "cool" are either overly stanced Honda's, or the polar opposite, sand dune trucks.
