This was one more category that I thought of after I made the poll--the pimp-type car. I thought it would have to be an older classic car like a Cadillac Coupe de Ville, but I forgot about the Bentleys, Maybachs, & so forth. It was a category that should have been included

Is saying a girl can operate any motor vehicle a man can fact or " deep post-feminist psychoanalysis " ? I say it is a fact.

Macho = showing aggressive pride in one's masculinity.
"the big macho tough guy"

How is writing a check for an oversize pickup truck (plus a set of balls to stick on the back of it) "tough"? You can't buy "tough"; all you can do is buy something that makes you FEEL better about yourself.

Now had the question been "What is the absolute most gear head vehicle?" we wouldn't be having this conversation. I appreciate the fact that some guys enjoy owning and operating nice vehicles. Owning that vehicle does not "make" you anything and it certainly doesn't make you a "tough guy".

The Saturn V rocket is without a doubt the most macho vehicle ever built.
Yep.

Whenever I see a video of one being launched.....I always think something like this...................





lol

I try to imagine.....but I can't.

I happen to be a man. You are only fooling yourself if you believe the vehicle you are driving makes you a "tough guy". I'm a "metro-sexual"? I happen to be 6'6" and weigh in at 250lbs and work out every day; I don't need to purchase a vehicle to supplement my masculinity.

My point is you can't buy it.

Please note the real macho guys rarely advertise the fact. They do not need to.

I agree. The Saturn 5 moon rocket was the most "macho" thing ever. I wonder what will follow it as we reach out into interplanetary space.

Whatever I'm driving. I define my possessions, not the other way around.

For some reason, when I saw the title of this thread, this is the first thing that came to mind...

I would suggest a 450 ton capacity ore hauler in an open pit mine.

Just as one can't buy "class", you also can't buy masculinity.
Either you possess it naturally, or you don't.
