Saw RedditCFB tweet this graphic on the ACC Teams as Cars. How are we a VW Beetle and not the Ramblin Wreck?!? This some BS.

What do most high school kids even drive these days?

Where I am, it's a 5 year old BMW 3-series or Lexus E-class. And the other trend is to buy the car when the kid turns 15 so s/he gets to practice on what s/he will drive.
 
My list of ACC teams as cars:

Atlantic
Boston College: Chrysler New Yorker. It's a city car working hard, but isn't particularly notable. Hit the scene in memorable fashion in 1940 and has stumbled along since. Discontinued in 1996, but still beats VT for parking spaces.

Clemson University: John Deere Model 9RX. It used to just be a tractor for farming corn or whatever, but someone went and poured a gazillion dollars on it and now it farms NFL talent.

Florida State University: Custom H1 with ultra low suspension and hydraulics, with vertical doors, a vanity horn, a fuzzy psychedelic interior, and spinning rims. Something flashy from every generation. The driver will do absolutely anything to get talent inside.

University of Louisville: 1969 dodge charger. Used to be used for runnin' shine. Now it delivers Papa John's. Either way, faster than it looks.

North Carolina State: 1947 Ford Stake Bed Pickup. Just sorta does its job and hangs around forever. Occasionally is pretty cool to have around, sometimes has difficulty moving. Sometimes gets "totally restored" and is exactly the same anyways.

University of Notre Dame: The Pope Mobile, of course. See, because it's catholic, it's not really from around here, and it causes a spectacle everywhere it goes.

Syracuse University: The Thrust SSC. Until further notice, I have been informed that Orange Is The New Fast.

Wake Forest University: Tesla Model 3. It's probably a pretty good car once the production problems get worked out. Still being baffled occasionally by things other producers figured out hundreds of years ago, like how to keep your playbook secret. Also, at $35,000 MSRP, it's still cheaper than 1 semester's tuition.

Coastal
Duke University: The 2017 Smart Fortwo, with a two-bike trailer attached. It's the smallest thing money can buy, and it's more interested in doing something else anyways. But it gets great mileage, for what it's got.

Georgia Institute of Technology: The mascot is an actual car. Go away.

University of Miami: Dodge Challenger. Muscle cars used to rule the road. They fade out in popularity every once in a while, maybe run afoul of the EPA, but they keep coming back with newer models.

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill: Dodge Ram. Again, they already have a mascot.

University of Pittsburgh: Husqvarna YTH24V48 (48") 24HP Lawn Tractor. It isn't a brand you'd think of immediately for the job, but it's enough to get it done most of the time. Sometimes it's even better than Clemson.

University of Virginia: The Oscar Meyer Weinermobile. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University: A 6 seat Jeep with a camo-wrap. It's not really country, it's only sort of military, and it never seems to be parked right.

I find it hard to believe that most juniors and seniors at 'wherever the öööö' drive newish entry level Lexi and BMW's. I had a 10 y.0. BMW in college. Fun car but shit maintenance bills.

The ES makes much more sense but at that point it would make even more sense to go with a loaded Camry even if just for insurance alone.
 
I wonder which team should be a Chrysler, since they're mostly plastic and aren't nearly as good as they like. UNC seems like a good fit.
GT needs to be a GMC pickup. No matter what you do to it, it just keeps coming at you, no matter the dings and scrapes. It'll leave you stranded on the side road a time or two but it bounces back. Put 540,000 miles on my last one before I had to bid it farewell. Damn I loved that truck.

After much thought I’d like to think GT is a Porche 718 but we’re really just the updated modern day VW Beetle. Was cool in the 70s but looks kind of weird and out of place on today’s roads. But still functional.

It also comes with a reserved parking spot that they are not allowed to park in so its been empty forever but they keep hoping that someday they will be allowed to park in it.

I dunno, the new beetles are killing it in rallycross anyway!

If UVa was going to be any car, maybe it ought to be a VW Beetle. Because it's for girls. Or a VW Rabbit convertible.
