What Your Car Says About You

By canadianpontiacguy

Have some fun commenting on this one, Motortopians.
It was written by automotive writer Lawrence Ulrich, and appeared on the MSN Autos site
.


With tongue firmly in cheek, here are what some popular rides say about you:

Toyota Prius

We get it. You love the planet like Tom loves Katie on Oprah. Tell you what — I'll acknowledge your superior consciousness when you stop driving 52 in the fast lane.

Hummer

Gotta hand it to you. You don't give a three-ton truck about what other people think. That's the attitude that tamed the Old West, that built the auto industry, that barged into Iraq to keep that oil...um, never mind.

MINI Cooper (urban dweller)

You've got the haircut, the clothes, a taste for obscure bands and obscure coffee blends. What car could possibly make the cut in that hip dictatorship you call a neighborhood?

MINI Cooper (suburban dweller)

"Oooh, honey, isn't that just the cutest thing?"

Yugo

You have a sense of humor. And you're contemplating suicide.

Chevy pickup

You hate soccer, unless your kids are playing. You still wonder what happened to Garth Brooks. You'll buy a Toyota pickup when there's a toboggan run in hell.

Lexus

"I don't even like cars, but since this is shopping, I'm going to spend a lot of money."

BMW

"My [insert noun] is better than yours."

Rolls-Royce

"Please, tell me: What actually was so bad about colonialism?"

Lamborghini

"This car is the most interesting thing about me."

Porsche (as interpreted by Corvette owner)

"What a jerk. Probably a lawyer, trust-fund brat, never worked an honest day in his life. Bet he gets his nails manicured."

Corvette (as interpreted by Porsche owner)

"What a jerk. Probably thinks NASCAR is real racing. He thinks 'dressing up' means a monogrammed bowling shirt."

Corvette and Porsche (as interpreted by attractive woman).

"What a jerk. Probably takes Viagra. Twice divorced, mid-life crisis. Sad."

So what does this mean then.....

In our collection.. I tend to gravitate towards the bigger vehicles... the 46 2 ton, the 51 2 ton, the 52 Buick 4 door, the 63 Biscayne 4 door...

Mike prefers the 46 1/2 t.. and has his collection of misc. Model T and A bodies, and a small late 20s Chrysler truck cab and front end parts.. (he is wanting/planning on building some little small hot roddy type thing...)..

Thanks for the definition of what Corvair says about it's owner Jim.
As a former owner of a Corsa in the late Sixties, I can relate to some of your comments.

Corvair:
"I'm can make up my own mind about things and stick to my decisions, no matter what other's may (erroneously) believe about my car. I'm strong-willed, slightly opinionated, and can take a joke with the best of them, Oh, and I think Ralph Nader is a horse's @$$!!! "

Q: How many car salesmen does it take to change a light bulb?
A: I'm going to work this out on my calculator, and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

"Chevy pickup

You hate soccer, unless your kids are playing. You still wonder what happened to Garth Brooks. You'll buy a Toyota pickup when there's a toboggan run in hell."

Sounds like your average joe around home here! But they missed the added lift kit!

Old beat-up (insert any old POS here)

Who cares what this car says about me, it's paid for.

Why don't the British make televisions? Because there is no way to make them leak oil!
