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. | |

Posted: 9/2/2007 9:34:52 AM | Heard you the first time Shy, or did you trade one in for another? Just teasing. As for the above descriptions, I don't buy the first two. Mercedes/ have a neighbor with an older one, and tried to get some info on it from a forum. Was told he didn't qualify when he attempted to register, wrong college or something. And how about the guy who bought the multi million dollar prototype, which crapped out a few blocks from the dealer, and was then told no warranty? Elitist junk.
BMW/ A former co-worker traded his in when he found out the scheduled maintenance was going to cost him $3500. Anyone ever heard this one? The difference between a porcupine and a beemer is the pricks are on the inside. (Except for my $3500 tuneup bud).
Maybe it means the four I've got indicates multiple personality disorder?
No it doesn't. Yes it does.
No it doesn't. Yes it does.
Time for my meds. My excuse is they serve different purposes, 65' Mustang- nuff said, Chevy truck- for hauling, GMC 4x4- heavier hauling and off road/ mountain snow, (and would climb a tree if I let it). Ford van for work. So at any one time I'm keeping 3 off the road that would be polluting the planet otherwise, logical right? Just doing my share.  | |

Posted: 9/2/2007 7:12:14 PM | Evidently I have a multiple personality disorder. I have a mini-van, a red Chevy convertible and a 77 Pinto Wagon. They all chose me, I did not choose them! I enjoy them all depending on my mood. Today was a Pinto day. Yesterday, was a convertible day.

Posted: 9/3/2007 7:35:32 PM | | I was gonna ask. I drive a beat up old GMC pickup. It's got 2 wheel drive, and a big ol' stick shifter. She ain't pretty, but she has lots of get up and go, and gets me where I need to be. I wouldn't trade it for a brand new pickup, becuase I love my manual transmission, and they don't seem to make trucks with 'em anymore, unless you settle for a 4 cylinder or a V6. That just doesn't cut it for me. It's go eight, or go home, and if it ain't got a stick, then it ain't worth d*ck. | |

Posted: 5/29/2008 9:26:09 PM | | I confess, I have the high end convertible sports car, although its not red, its silver (my previous convertible was the red one...lol). I'm confident its not a midlife crisis in my case (I plan to live to be 150!), but I'll admit that some of the things in the original post are true, ie., I'm very outgoing and social, and have no problem making conversation with people I meet. If the car is a starter topic for getting to know someone, great, but there is a helluva lot more substance to me than that nonsense, and in the long run, the car I drive has nothing to do with who I am. Any woman I'm interested in knows that too! | |

Posted: 5/29/2008 11:53:17 PM | Um,yeah ok What someone drives isn't a reflection on who they are,just what they like.Most people get the best car they can afford,and as they become more financially viable,move up to more expensive vehicles,along with everything else,until the bottom falls out,and they have to declare bankruptcy 
Then there are those who are frugal,and even if they are millionaires,drive some old beater.I know some people like that.Its too bad they have to live like paupers when they could afford a much better lifestyle,but its their choice.
I fall somewhere in the middle.I have my work vehicles,a few vintage collectibles,and an every day beater.I have a healthy appreciation for people who restore vintage vehicles,or build hot rods.I don't care what a woman drives,as long as fixing it isn't a daily event.Though I would be more embarrassed than proud to ride in a limo,or a beamer | |

Posted: 5/30/2008 4:18:33 AM | I drive a Toyota Corolla so let's see...
Educated: Hooked on Phonics worked for me!
Intelligent: Shucks! Why, thank you!
Likes discussing politics: Nope. I hate politics.
Very well-read: What's a book?
Mature: See above.
Doesn’t take big risks: Correct. I'm not a gambler my any means.
Invested his or her money well/enjoying a cushy lifestyle: I do pretty well, but it's not like I stock ivory back scratchers.
Cares about value, not flash: Yes
Thinks that support, friendship, and honesty are essential to a good healthy relationship: 100% agree!
Doesn’t mind spending a lot of money on a mate: Go on a date with me, and you get a complimentary ivory back scratcher!
So overall, it's fairly accurate! | |

Posted: 5/30/2008 6:55:49 AM | Hmm, there's nothing here about the kind of Car i drive.
It's a Latter Generation ford (or for you guys across the pond: Mercury) Cougar. Classed as a "front drive Sports Coop!!
Strong, Powerful, Reliable, Practical, Good masculine lines, curves and features. can successfully take all twists and turns thrown at it. at times conventional, at other times in need of a Darn good seeing to... but enough about me, I'm quite unsure how to describe the car, really... | |

Posted: 5/30/2008 4:37:01 PM | For the most part this is me. I am not a pack rat and no i dont have energy bars and emergency flares in the back of my ride...lol
The car: A fully loaded SUV
What the car says about its owner: More often than not, an SUV driver is an organized person who might even be a bit of a paranoid pack-rat, Dr. Orbuch says. “AN SUV driver probably has everything from freeze-dried energy bars to emergency flares in the truck space,” she explains. The 4-wheel-drive tells you that this person wants to be prepared for both emergencies and for spontaneous adventures—a bit of a paradox, isn’t it? Dr. Orbuch notes that this person enjoys control and likes to be at the top of his or her game, whether it be sports, work, family, or trivia and ultimately is a motivated, energetic, and passionate person.
What the car says about its owner’s love style: “An SUV driver likely prefers his or her partners to also be organized, although it’s doubtful you can meet their standards in that department,” says Dr. Orbuch. She notes that the driver probably won’t mesh well with partners who lack a zest for life: “This person is looking for someone with a sense of adventure and even a bit of unpredictability—but chances are, he or she will have an extra toothbrush for you in case you forget yours!” | |
