Miami Hurricanes Football Comparision

If the Miami Hurricanes football team were a car - which car would they be and why?




On an append - you are reading my 989 posts. Breaking 1000 in the next few weeks. I am sure Pete and D$ have some sort of celebration planned!

As currently constituted? Honda Civic. Dependable and sturdy car but it is not going to win you any car show prizes. Gets the job done though and is beloved by Hispanics/Latinos.

Range Rover. Nice, flashy, works great when it works great. When it breaks it's expensive as **** to fix.

An LS swapped 2001 honda civic. Last year we also had a huge turbo with tons of boost. However, we still had the factory brakes and brake pads so everyone overtook us on the corners.

We also blew up the engine and turbo so we rebuilt it this year and put on a much smaller turbo. We’re trying new brakes this year

I was going to contest the dependable and sturdy remark, but actually thinking about it, you may be right. We get a lot of flack for "sucking" over the past 20 years, but we've pretty much been a 7-8 win team that goes to a bowl game. Meanwhile, FSU and UF have had four win, three win, two win seasons, so while they may have had higher highs, they have also had much lower lows. Although we have sucked by our standards, we haven't sucked by D1 standards. We've just been painfully mediocre.

And thusly, we arrive at the Honda Civic.

I might swap it out for a Toyota Corolla though. Civics seem to often outperform when you need them to. Corollas are always a little outdated, like our facilities.

Plus, there's something about that Kendall Tayota commercial that just feels fitting.

I put this into Grok and the results were pretty great. For Miami, I got a 2023 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat. Key points - Power and performance, sleek and battle tested, occasional hiccups, potential for greatness

I then asked it to do FSU and got a 2005 Mustang. Key points - Fallen icon, underwhelming performance, loss of key parts, glimmer of nostalgia.

the only answer is 1987 Buick Grand National. At the time it was a big step forward but if you have one now it's probably on it's second or third rebuild.

So which program would be the Pinto? SMU got the death penalty, but they've done a **** of a rebuild.

Ford Bronco. Once an icon, gone, now ressurected.

When you think about it, not really.

Their first season post-death penalty was 1989. They could have rebuilt much faster and stronger consider the vast resources they have.

A team resembles its coach! Mario ain't a kneeling *****! We're a **** Hummer!

FSU = Yugo

I certainly found the Carson Beck model:

So they are more like the Integra?

I guess UF would be a Porsche 914. Porsche body with a Volkswagen engine.

This is pretty spot on.

I LOVE Hummers.
