Most manly car?
Discussion
Obviously none of you blokes have been anywhere near an Ozzie primary school at pick up time. You will find more 4WDs per square yard than anything else. Any mum driving a sedan is excommunicated immediately. 2 seaters are the only refuge left to us blokes, if only because you can't baby carrier or booster seat in them.
My daughter just got out of a Land Cruiser to get a 4WD duel cab 3.0L turbo diesel Ford Ranger/Mazda ute, better to tow the horse float or the sky boat. This puts her reasonably high in the pecking order.
Of course if ever they go somewhere where they might get a scratch, they will still borrow my old Holden.
We blokes lost the race, [& probably the human race], when we were silly enough to fit power steering to men's cars. While the little lady could not turn the wheel we were safe. However, from what I see of these SNAGS, [sensitive new age guys], wandering around today, without power steering, most of them would be restricted to riding the bus too.
Yep the only cars that are still mine, & my sons, are the Triumph TR7 & TR8. The steering is too heavy for the ladies to want to use.

Vauxhall Monaro must make the list surely...?
Sorry EmmaJ, if you want to make the grade, you'll have to get rid of that milksop, power steering equipped poser model, & go get one of the original GTS 327, or 350 Bathurst models from 68 or 69.
No power steering in them, & they were real fun.

I suppose it depends what you consider manly. Fast, big capacity, ability, etc.
Is it just me that thinks that's trying just a little too hard to be manly?I suppose it depends what you consider manly. Fast, big capacity, ability, etc.

Very manly, yes, but also as camp as Christmas.
An FJ40 is 'camp'? Are you f
king mental? 
simple, basic, does exactly what it says on the tin, and without the need for penis extension looks, or power. Job jobbed.
As for it trying to be too manly? Trying too hard? It's an offloaded. It will have nobbly tyres, and a toughened front bumper. Apart from that, it is 'as it says on the tin'.
Trying too hard! Have you seen some of the cars on this thread?
Talk about hiding in the closet!4 pages of nothing but wrong so far, all of these cars just say you're over compensating for something else.
To be a proper bloke you need to drive something like this
Only a man comfortable with his sexuality and who he is could do this, and in turn more women will want you because of it.

Needs to be large, ugly, powerful, dynamically incompetent and to have a USP even a really thick bloke could grasp.
This perhaps?
