“Dad bod” car

[Mach1E]

At a stoplight today next to two women in a BMW convertible.

They started pointing and asking questions about the car. After I explained what it is, one of them said, “oh I know, it’s one of those, what do you call it, a Dad Bod car!” ?

Never heard that one before but all I could say was “yes!” It May be the best description I’ve heard yet!

Haha funny because a a BMW convertible is the middle aged woman equivalent of those 4th gen. VW Jetta's that were popular with 99% of high school girls back in the early 2000s.

BMW 'verts = driven by those who grew up in the era of the tramp stamp. ?

Touché

We were both definitely walking clichés (Or driving clichés)

I just looked at my stomach

Yeah they aren’t wrong. It’s the most fun EV I could buy and still put 2 car seats in the back and make a run to IKEA if I need to…And I’m not ashamed. All the hot moms in minivans in the car line think it’s cool.

Reminds me of that Nissan commercial a few years ago where the guy had a baby and goes outside and transforms his 350Z into a Maxima.

Wait, what, you mean the tramp stamp era has passed, come to Virginia Beach this summer and I will show you that just ain’t so!

When the stamps are on 40+ yr old tramps….. they got the stamps 20 yrs ago.

Yeah I had a Honda Civic roll by, lady had her arm out and looked over and gave a big thumbs up. I was surprised.

This post is perfect. I think I’ll start telling folks that my car is a mustang with a dad-bod… perfectly suited to its owner.

The MME doesn’t have a “dad bod.” That would be the Model Y bubble mobile.

I prefer Mom-Stang.

Is a "dad bod car" the same thing as a "dad car"? What does dad's "bod" have to do with it?

Nope, not the same.

I want to explain it, but just think it’ll make it worse. All I know is that as soon as they said it, it made perfect sense to me!
