What does your car say about you?

I like to think that my car of choice makes other people think that I like to hide my light under a bushel; I'm not so insecure that I like to brag about what I have and what I can do. I also like to think it gives the impression that while I am sturdy and reliable, I'm also a bit of an animal that, if provoked, will unleash his inner beast in either a positive or negative way, depending on the situation.

Hopefully, some will think that, while I don't like to be "flash", I do appreciate a well-engineered car and that I also am an enthusiastic driver because the car I have is rear-wheel drive, has a 2.5l 6-cylinder engine and is one of the best handling cars of it's class.

Sadly the reality is that people will think that I am an arrogant, road-hogging, sneering, inconsiderate bastard who runs over schoolchildren for fun and urinates on war-memorials. They see my car and liken me to some kind of bastard offspring of the antichrist and Piers Morgan.

I don't have any bumper-stickers, window vinyls, big exhaust-pipes, spinning rims or a spoiler that would look out of place on the Space Shuttle. The stereo system is standard and kept at a discreet volume so no-one else has to listen to what I am listening to. Painted dark blue, with standard manufacturer alloys (16"), four-doors and no badges at all apart from the manufacturer's emblem (not even a badge that says what model it is!), my car should not provoke a negative thought from anyone (unless you are a tree-cuddling vegetablist).

Sadly it is the cars only badges (one on the bonnet, one on the bootlid) that makes people think I am a complete and utter shitbag with the morals of a serial-killer.

I drive a BMW, if you hadn't already guessed.

My car is an older model, safe, affordable, reliable, and wallet-friendly four door Cavalier.

Mine says I'm spoiled by my parents because chances are a 21-year-old man probably wouldn't choose that as his automobile of choice.

(Though to be fair, I love my car and primarily because of all the reasons I listed above, it's way better than having some giant Hummer V8.)

Another thing it says about me is I don't need to compensate for everything. Booya.

My lack of a car says that I'm an eco and health-consious person who is adept at travelling within the city without the use of an automobile.

My lack of a license and a car at the age of 21 says...
That I'm not even interested, public transportation here rocks and I can get anywhere I want in town by foot or by bike.

My car, huh?

It doesn't exist, which tells people that I'm poor and I don't have a licence. (I tried to get a learner's permit, but the NYDMV flat out refused to let me take the test since I didn't have my mother with me even though I was 18)

My last two cars have been hothatches with a big sound system, so i guess it would say young with the boy racer attitude? The next one will probably be another hothatch (gotta love those french hothatches!).

I have a crappy white van. It says that I am too cheap to get a better car... It also says that I do not care what other people think of me. "They see me rollin', they hatin'" type of thing.

So, the 'popped collar' is a given, right? :D
Maybe it's just the hangover rendering my signally dense this morning but I don't get you...

"Popped Collar"?

It's a little red micra that's a year older than me. His name is Alan and I love him. He probably conveys to others that I am a broke student.

- I have a bumper sticker that says "Be Nice to America or We'll Bring Democracy to Your Country"

So what does your car say about you?
hahahaha, that bumper sticker is very funny.

OT: What does my car say about me?

It says I can't afford £1200-£1500 a year insurance (as a driver in my late 20's) can't afford £1.50 a litre for fuel. My car is a bike and I have to cycle or walk everywhere).

I have nothing against car drivers, I just envy you.

It says "This person drives a beige Toyota Camry". That's it really, there are no real distinguishing features or personal touches that might lead observers to draw additional conclusions from it, just an 11-year old car in reasonably good repair.
