What’s your ride? What do your neighbors drive? Here are some popular cars and vehicles you’re likely to see a lot of on local streets. Sure we’re stereotyping, but all in good fun.
Subaru Outback
The Driver: From beardly bros to flannel-clad families headed for outdoor adventure.
Most Likely Seen: Headed for the mountains with bikes, skis or kayaks — often twice the value of the cars — mounted on the roof.
Ford Expedition
The Driver: Plucky, caffeinated soccer moms who are smaller in stature with each row of added seats.
Most Likely Seen: Jammed into undersized parking spaces, especially throughout Briargate and the east side.
Dodge Challenger
The Driver: A bundle of CrossFit, tattoos and/or camo—men or women.
Most Likely Seen: Along the Powers corridor or around any local military installation.
Tesla Model S
The Driver: Software engineers, doctors with families, early adopters.
Most Likely Seen: Showing off Ludicrous Mode to their friends or self-driving to Denver.
Harley Davidson Sportster
The Driver: Dentist, pastor or tough guy.
Most Likely Seen: Winding mountain roads when the snow stops falling. You’ll hear them before you see them.
