Something basic that gets you from point a to point b and is reliable and easy to repair. Worrying about how "macho" your car looks isn't macho. Saving money and providing for yourself and your family is macho.

I voted for the sport bike option (e.g. Hayabusa). When you have a vehicle that is faster than any of the other options (top speed around 190 mph) AND is open-air (no metal around you, no air bags, no seat belt) AND is inherently easier to crash due to the inherent stability advantage of 4 wheels vs 2 wheels...how can it not be the most macho??? Only two other voters agreed with me.
I see that the muscle car option seems to be most popular with 22 votes. It's a little unfair though, because I divided pickup trucks into 3 sub-categories (full size, dually, and offroad), and if you add them together they have 28 votes.
Prius/mini-van after going with zero votes for some time, is now up to 5 votes--2 more than the sport bike. I don't see where anyone has given their reasoning as to why the Prius would be more macho than the Hayabusa.
Wow. Those are some macho vehicles. I couldn't even imagine some of these, and I live in Texas also. I think my ex's muddy white ginormous Dodge F-350 work truck was pretty macho, but it wasn't just the truck by itself that was macho; it was all the offshore work equipment inside it: giant wire reels, tool boxes as heavy as me, dirty boots, extra Nomex flight suits, fireproof uniforms, hard hats, etc.

Exactly. I started a thread RE: the mistakes I had made in the past buying handbags and another poster made a snarky comment to the effect of, "You're concerned about something this lame???" If the person didn't want to read about handbags, don't read and comment on a thread entitled "Handbag Mistakes" in the Fashion and Beauty Forums. Obviously.
Watching a guy in front of me today driving a big Dodge 'dually' pickup it occurred to me that this might be the baddest, most macho vehicle there is. The big rear fenders were jutting out like it was on steroids or something, and you just knew that behind the wheel there was a seriously macho dude. I read that actor Ashton Kutcher has had some industrial-type trucks custom-converted for use as a passenger vehicle, which perhaps would beat out the dually.
What is the ultimate macho rig in your opinion? Please vote, and explain your reasoning in the comments below.
Why too many choices in your poll, especially considering you include two, four, even more tires on the ground.
Also I have to question your definition of machco since you mention Ashton Kutcher.
Ha. I've already decided that in my old age, screw wearing a red hat with a purple scarf or whatever the poem is - I'm going to drive a Chevy Nova. Funny to see that that kind of car is getting the most votes as 'macho'. Guess I'm still a tomboy at heart.
When I'm old I'm going to finally have enough money to properly take care of a vintage muscle car - someday! People will think I'm ridiculous when they see an old lady driving it. And that will be okay.
