folk who drive a Dodge are agile?
folk who drive a Prius are prions?
folk who drive a Neon are bright?
folk who drive a Triumph win?
folk who drive a Caprice are flighty?
folk who drive a Defender are full backs?
folk who drive an Escort are hookers?
folk who drive a Jimmy are burglars?

it goes on and on
