If your state was a car, what type of car would it be?

40 comments

1. Maine- Subaru Forester

2. NY, a Lincoln Town car

3. You know those rusted out abandoned cars that people find in the woods 40 years later?

4. Washington: F150. Might surprise you to hear that but there are a ton of pickups here and the F150 is probably the most sold single model in the state just like nationally.

5. A 40yo sputtering Trabant that somehow still runs after a few kicks.

6. Arkansas ram 1500 classic

7. Texas – Ford f150

8. Massachusetts – Audi SUV

9. New Mexico. A 2000 ford escort with one bald donut, 3 spinners and a sub that made the passenger mirror fall off

10. Texas: Chevy Suburban

    Colorado: Jeep Wrangler 2-door

11. Iowa – 2001 Buick Century. Nothing special, low maintenance, and gets the job.

12. Minnesota – Toyota RAV4 Prime.

13. Probably a Toyota Rav4. People in Mass drive sensible cars and all the other states aren’t into trucks.

14. Hawaii – late model Toyota Tacoma.

15. This feels like a loaded question for Michigan. Escalade?

16. Utah- minivan. Make and model would depend on city/county.

17. ‘64 Impala convertible, probably has hydraulics

18. New Orleans, Louisiana – Hyundai or Kia

19. Ohio – F150 crew cab. Most popular vehicle in the country. Not because it’s the best at anything. Or worst at anything. It’s just SOOOO average at everything and is the perfect melting pot of all the options out there.

20. Michigan – Ford Crown Victoria? The workhorse

21. 93 Chevy 1500 with fist sized rust holes and dozens of whiskey dents.

22. Michigan: Chevrolet Equinox. Or maybe a Ford Edsel.

23. [Oklahoma](https://kubrick.htvapps.com/htv-prod-media.s3.amazonaws.com/ibmig/cms/image/kcci/25024882-25024882.jpg?crop=1xw:1.00000000000000000xh;center,top&resize=1200:*)

24. An Indycar. Duh!

25. Louisiana: lifted spotless white ram with either a confederate flag or a trump sticker, but definitiely some sort of LSU sticker.

26. Maine has to also be an Outback or a beat up F150.

27. Arizona: An old pickup truck with a trailer behind full of landscaping detritus blowing out onto the highway

28. Idaho: a 1970 Ford F-150

29. West Virginia – Ford Pinto

30. Fairfield County, CT (the Gold Coast of finance): expensive European imports

    Hartford County (insurance and engineers): Toyota or Honda SUVs (including the luxury badges)

    Litchfield County: domestic pickups

    New Haven County: Nissan Altimas

31. Trabant

32. Texas. 1960’s era pickup.

    It’s a workhorse that symbolizes our history.

    It’s still a thing we all recognize. But, people don’t want to embrace the new editions of the pickup.

33. Nebraska: A RAV 4 high-centered on the big landscaping rock leaving the Target parking lot

34. Texas is a Truck. But it really depends on where you’re at…. As a whole, I’d say 1993 F-250 IDI with a ranch-style bumpers. It’s a great truck and it’s never left you stranded for the most part but it’s starting to need some overhauls and it’s got some really dated shit on it and the mileage is not great.

    Houston: lifted up Dodge mega cab dually 4×4 with low profile mud tires and force rims. Probably has an under-lighting kit and a giant exhaust tip to spew black smoke whenever you get into the throttle. Also has a $10,000 Lincoln welding rig in the back. Passes you on the freeway when you’re doing 85mph.

    Austin: 2022 Honda ridgeline. It used to be a sweet ass cool 1978 El Camino that was spray painted tie-dye and had a hell of a sound system to crank up the tunes but it’s been traded in for a soulless silver Honda made thousands of miles away, but it’ll get traded in as soon as Cybertruck comes out.

    San Antonio: 2016 Black Chevy Silverado Z71, Short wheelbase, 2wd. It’s murdered out, and slammed. Has a family name sticker on the rear window or a mural on the tailgate.

    Dallas: 2023 Chevy 1500 Denali Ultimate. Or F-250 King ranch. It’s expensive just for the sake of it, and really isn’t bringing much to the party other than it being a truck.

    El Paso: 1987 Toyota Tacoma. It’s rugged, beat to hell, rusted, but still driving. Definitely has a Beto sticker on the back.

    Midland/Odessa: 2012 Dodge Ram 3500 4×4 with a lift, BFG mud terrains, a custom flatbed and a welding rig that’s been put through its paces. There’s a big ass dent in the passenger rear door.

    Fort Worth: 2005 F-250 power stroke 4×4 ranch truck. Beat to hell. Still kickin. Bed is full of hay, horse shoes, and half full hydraulic oil buckets.

    Corpus Christi: 2020 Jeep gladiator. It’s technically a truck but it’s not particularly great at doing anything except having fun at the beach.

35. Ohio is a 2001 Honda Civic. It’s always been reliable and treated you well, but it’s starting to fall apart and it definitely needs some repairs.

36. Michigan. 2012 F-150 with 353,000 miles and some surface rust.

37. DC would be a black Chevy SUV with government plates. Northern Virginia’s got to be a Lexus driving either too slow in the left lane or too fast in the right lane, often during the same drive. The rest of Virginia is probably a 15 year old Lincoln: it used to be a really nice car but hey at least it still runs.

38. Upstate is a late model Buick century

39. For the states I’ve lived in:

    Idaho: 4×4 2003 Ford truck

    Oregon: late model Subaru Impreza

    Nevada: 4×4 Chevy truck, any year will do

    Utah: MAV aka Mormon Assault Vehicle. That would be a vehicle that holde large families. Down south Moab way, Jeep Wrangler is King.

    North Carolina: granny drives a gold Buick Skylark, the farmer drives a John Deere

    Tennessee: Nashville, Tesla. Everywhere else, any truck with a Tennessee Tilt going on yee yee brother.

    Colorado: hybrids, full electrics, and VWs.

    Bavaria (Germany): Mercedes for the farms, Audi for the autobahn.

    Kentucky: El Camino, rockin that business in the front party in the back thang. Don’t forget the American flag painted across the back!

40. Probably like a late 90s or early 2000s BMW or Mercedes Sedan – a good car by most definitions or metrics, but it thinks it’s cooler and more luxurious than it really is because of surface level appearance and brand name.
