Stanford University researcher used a computer algorithm to determined whether a neighborhood leaned to the left or right by looking at vehicles in 50 millions of images from Google Street View in 200 American cities.

When sedans outnumbered pickup trucks, there was an 88 percent chance the city would vote Democratic.

In areas with more pickup trucks, the odds switched to 82 percent in favor of Republicans, the researchers concluded.

amazingly, it appears that the more Mercedes and BMWs and Lexii...the more communistic voters, too very very very odd.... but as Vladimir Lenin wisely noted, “The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them.” ― Vladimir Lenin

Volkswagens and Aston Martins were associated with white neighborhoods

Where did they find enough Aston Martins to train their neural net?

Huh.

I bought my minivan...because my cousin sold it to me for half what it was worth. “If that’s what they’ll give me for trade-in, I’ll get it from family.”

It sure ain’t a Silverado, and may not be thought particularly Manly, as if I give a crap.

My wife bought her little Saturn wagon...because it was the best car she could find at her price point. She’d like a Subaru Lesbomobile...because the look nice to her and have AWD. Maybe someday...but I doubt she’ll be licking carpet any time thereafter.

Maybe the point is that we particular conservatives bought on economics, not poly-ticks.

Volkswagens and Aston Martins were associated with white neighborhoods while Chryslers, Buicks and Oldsmobiles tended to appear in African-American neighborhoods, the study found.

Aston Martins?

I don't think I've ever seen one of those outside of the movies.

BMWs maybe, but Aston Martins?

I own 2 1963 Studebaker Avanti’s.....a JFK democrat today would be a Alt-Right Nazi to today’s dumocrat-SJW standards.

"Where is a Toyota FJ Cruiser fall in the matrix?"

From the RCR review of the FJ Cruiser:

"This is a car for someone who wants a Hummer H2, but who also reads The Huffington Post, and folds the word "sustainability" into every conversation."

Toyota 4Runner, no UAW in this house.

[Cicero]

Not a universal rule. Vermont is chock full of liberals and pickup trucks.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

Oldsmobiles? Damn, I’ve been wondering where they went. Guess I’ve been looking in the wrong neighborhoods.

[Typelouder]

Two Volvos (’06 S60 2.5T, ‘10 S80 T6) ‘98 Saturn SC2 and ‘09 Dodge Ram 1500.

Two votes for Trump a year ago, and two more in 2020!
