Posted: 8/15/2007 6:44:05 PM | Hmmmm..... I drive a small pick-up truck, but if I had the money, I'd buy a hybrid. The truck is useful, but not really necessary for me. I beg to differ with the part that says that those that drive hybrids don't have a sense of humor, and I'm not vegan.
For saving on gas and fun is what the motorcycle is for though. :-) | |

Your getting a car that doesn't do damage to the Environment when you drive it, but who says the manufacturing doesn't! | |

Actually that's been disproven... The civilian hummer is still the worst thing ever made for the enviorment... Sorry. And no I don't drive a Prius. | |

For a few of the other comments, there are many reasons to be driving a large, over sized truck. One is, you will ask me to help you move, and I will get a flat of beer out of you for hauling your crap. Perhaps some large steaks if I break a sweat helping you load it.
Well, I own brand smack new, and I have no monthly payments either. Own many other toys as well. Use some many times, use others never. Probably shows my greed. | |

Do you have any links to this? Last time I checked, it was still truth. | |

Posted: 8/16/2007 6:36:23 PM | I drive the standard boring station wagon.  I test drove 8 different vehicles from an electric to a high end sedan to crossovers to SUVs and picked the station wagon because it passed the 'dog test'. My arthritic Shepherd could get into it easily and had lots of room. Wouldn't trade it for anything. It's great on gas, wonderful in snow and rain, hauls camping equipment and 'big box' items and is very reliable. Resale value is good too, not that I'd want to get rid of it.
Of course, when I'm blasting some loud music out of it, I do get some funny looks. 
If anyone wants to pass me up because of my car, they're not what I'm looking for. | |

Posted: 8/16/2007 10:17:51 PM | I think it's quite accurate! :)
The car I own isnt by choice. But it has meaning. I own a Nissan Sentra. I got rid of my Jeep for something better on gas/insurance/pocket book. ONLY b/c I got divorced.
BUT i'm getting another jeep that i'm paying for with cash in Feb! 
And as much as I adore the Hummers....they pretty much do the same darn thing as a tahoe can!!! Unless modified...absolutely NOTHING! | |

Posted: 8/17/2007 2:12:55 PM | | What about people that own more than one car and they are of different types? I own a Red '95 Mitsubish Eclipse GST, a turbo with 5 speed stick. My other car is a Black '06 Dodge magnum R/T with a 340 Hp V8. Its a wagon but it is also a "sport wagon musclecar". Anyway the common link between the two cars is "performance". One has sports car handling and good acceleration. The other has comfort, can haul stuff around and can accelerate pretty good, like as in burn some rubber. | |

The car: A Honda Accord or other sensible sedan. What the car says about its owner: Someone who drives this practical vehicle is most likely educated and intelligent, Dr. Orbuch says. “This driver probably likes discussing politics and is very well-read and mature,” she explains. “People who drive these kinds of cars don’t take big risks in life, but hey, that mentality has served them well up to now!” What you may find pleasantly surprising is that the driver probably has a lot of savings socked away. “This kind of person has invested his or her money well and may very well be enjoying a cushy lifestyle, but is just smart enough to know that a car is a horrible investment,” she explains. Ultimately, he or she cares about value, not flash.
What the car says about its owner’s love style: Its owner will most enjoy someone who likes to converse about life, Dr. Orbuch suggests. “He or she thinks that support, friendship, and honesty are essential to a good healthy relationship,” she says. Additionally, he or she probably doesn’t mind spending a lot of money on a mate—“especially when it comes to travel, fabulous hotels, and great restaurants,” she says. The thinking is: “I save when I can to splurge when I want.”
Okay, to be honest, Batman got the Batmobile.

Posted: 8/25/2007 11:14:47 PM | I'm driving a Toyota Corolla, and in 4 months it'll be paid for. At the time of purchase it was sorta what I was looking for, but this one specifically was a really good deal that I fell into. Good mileage, good value retention, dependable with low frequency of repair, comfy seats for road trips, the roof takes a rack easily for my canoe trips, handles well so even in bad weather I'm gonna get where I'm going.
I generally AVOID politics though, since its one of those topics most people can't discuss calmly.
DBELL... if you still need a low height for your next arthritic dog, look into the PT Cruiser... it is remarkably easy rear access. | |

Posted: 8/26/2007 9:08:10 AM | I drive an older (98) Chev 4x4 truck ... so I'm not sure what it says about me. But, I can say why I got stuck on trucks though ... 'cause I'm stubborn and hated having to ask people to move or pick up things for me! Not to mention that cars didn't do so well on the miles of gravel roads. Now I just couldn't live without a truck ... since one of my passions is collecting pretty rocks. And the 4x4 means I can go off roads!
As gorgeous as the new trucks are, I don't think I'd even want one ... wouldn't be able to "use" it for fear of scratching or denting it! Plus, I just wouldn't be able to keep my sense of humor when people back into me or bang their car doors into mine ... | |

Cars, like clothing, give a lot away about their owner. From the most elegant Rolls to the rustiest Hyundai, cars are an excellent indicator of character. Here are a few basic categories, for you curious minds:
The Black Mercedes: This car exudes style and luxury and is tell-tale of a very large wallet. This is the car of upper class. The classic lines combine with the established Mercedes name to give the driver the flair of aristocratic taste.
The Sporty BMW: Bavaria is not far behind Mercedes reputation-wise - the variation lies in the sportier character of the BMW. When you see a BMW, you immediately know that this is a person not only with class, but with a sense of adventure. BMW is the style meets speed car.
The Ford F-350: This truck is the symbol of modern wild, wild West. If you've got a Ford this big, you trust that your mojo could take on Arnold's any day. A Ford truck has 'Modern Cowboy, and proud of it' written all over it.
The Mini-Van: It doesn't matter what brand your talking about - mini-vans are generic in what they say about their owner. These are the emblem on wheels of the family. Owner = soccer mom, or caring dad. Just watch out for the kids.
The Buick or Crown Vic: These cars indicate one thing: old American luxury. These are the brands of our parents and grand-parents. Though not quite Cadillacs, these cars now mean that retirement savings were well managed.
The Toyota: Toyota is synonymous with the new old. Basically, what I mean is that here we have a respected car - similar to the Buick, but with a modern, foreign flair - that also spells fuel-economy writ-large. These are the cars of the 40+ owner, who doesn't want to blow his budget on petrol.
The Honda Civic: Honda basically has affordable, hip style attached to it. Usually the driver is young and perhaps has a loud muffler. But don't fall into the ambiguous trap of the Civic yet - it's affordability and inoffensive style make it the perfect car for the money-conscious saver.
The Hyundai: This car generally means that the owner wanted to save, but wouldn't give in to Japan's iron wheel. This Korean car saves the owner gas and provides him with enough style to get by. Not bad for it's price tag.
I could go on and on about what cars reveal about their owners, but I think these are the basics. So the next time you see a Honda Civic owner at the gas pump, try to find out what kind of person he/she is. You'll be surprised at this article's accuracy. | |
