I was once told my Dodge was a "drug dealer" car. I laughed, saying any sane drug dealer would choose a boring, nondescript, dime-a-dozen car that did not stand out. My Dodge attracts a lot of attention.


Sounds like there's a difference between drug dealers that do and don't know how to keep under the radar. And the person who said that to you, only knows of the unwise ones? :)


I suspect it is from watching drug dealer depictions on TV.


I find the feedback loop between TV depictions of drug dealers and the behavior of actual drug dealers endlessly fascinating.


Especially true since most drug dealers don't make much money and if they have a car, it's generally a beater that's about to fall apart.
