What your car says about you.

[ShiteRider]

Men see me in the cortina and think "i've wasted my life! i want to be like him!"

Women see me and think " have i pissed my self? Why are my knickers sopping? Oh yeah, vinyl roof- brown velour interior combo that's why"

I'm assuming this is cause of the glazed eyes and silent mouthing of WTF?!

[Alexg]

What does driving an Allegro estate say about me? I don't know really; I'm a reasonably trendy 'young' early thirties male, so whenever anyone who knows me finds out or sees the orange beast they really struggle to make sense of it.

 

Many just stare at me utterly confused, then screw up their face, shout "why?!" before going on proclaim their love for the Audi A5 (or something equally soulless); at which point, I'll return the complement.

You are so right I think I've had sex more often in Cortinas than any other type of car, mostly mk2 and 3's . The only problem with having one now is that those same dodgy 80's slappers are probably the only ones that would go for it and as a pissed up 17/18 year old I wasn't exactly discerning,shudder to think what either of us would think now.

Hyundai i10 - caring, kind, considerate, fluffy. My own interpretation: axe-wielding bastard with an overwhelming hatred of 99% of the population of North London

 

Daf 66 - weirdly odd but generally helpful. My own interpretation: axe-wielding bastard with an overwhelming hatred of 99% of the population of North London.

 

MGF - hairdresser. My own interpretation: axe-wieldi..... I'm seeing a possible pattern here. 

 

Volvo Amazon - sexual tyrannosaur. My own interpretation: sexual tyrannosaur.

My Alfa 159 says I'm a man who's not really bothered whether he gets there or not...

So having just had this delivered today what does it say about me.

My current daily is a '93 renault 5 but being in the trade means I drive lots of different stuff, but if it is a car for me the fewer people who have ever heard of it the better. Modern stuff is ok but there is no character in it, unless you are talking laguna 2's then everyone will  think you have escaped from the funny farm to own one. That Commer is lovely though and might just tempt me away from obscure french shite. I kind of fancy a P5 rover as well, but I know I will never be happy with a car you can actually buy spares for rather than spend 2 days searching the internet in every language you can think of just to find out it's unobtainium. If it has a listing on "how many left" it is just too common. Any thing with a chrysler (US) badge should be binned in my opinion they are hateful things just look at the PT cruiser. Case closed

It's not what my car says about me, more what my presence says about the car.

[Partridge]

To be honest, being serious for a second I get annoyed when people make assumptions like this in the real world. "All Rover drivers are old/old BMW drivers are cocks" etc.

[robinmasters]

I suspect most people think something along the lines of 'Fucking hell, he must be poor', or 'Why hasn't he got a newer car, what a nobber'.  

 

Fortunately I am able to respond with a fairly comprehensive list of prejudices against people who drive nearly anything.

Volvo 240 estate. I have no money and need to occasionally move wardrobes/grandfather clocks/foden gearboxes

[kinkersaab]

Working as i do in the trade i perhaps over analise this. But i do find it very interesting. Without a doubt vw/audi buyers have the highest potential to be not nice imge consious people, subaru saab,volvo and to a lesser extent traditional mercedes people are as a rule nice people, it is amazing how many of my subaru people (not wrx type subaru people, they are different nice to legacy outback forester people) are prvious saab/ volvo people, they would under no circumstance have an audi/vw. Some of them may have tried a skoda, but invariably come back to a subaru next time. I activly avoid stocking vag stuff where possible to avoid dealing with them, they seem to think they are owed the world from you forever, they seldom have any redeeming features and "cunts"is generally the best way to describe them, this is perhaps part of why i like subarus/ volvos and saabs, so i guess i am a sheep too, but i like to follow the nice flock. I must add that occasionaly you will get a nice golf buyer, he just has a golf cos his dad had golfs and he has always had golfs, he is not a "car typre person" so doesnt particularly care, he is a rare person though, most golf types think they are buying top quality brillliant depreciation proof crs and no one will tell them different, this makes me feel sorry for them. Cunts. Mini and fiat 500 and beetle drivers are also cunts as a rule, trating buying a car like buying a fancy watch or handbag. The fiat 500 for a short while avoided this, but as more and more mini type people bought them their image was ruined. Having re read this, it is hard to read but i get it. As its 4.30 am i CBA rewriting it, so i hope you get my drift.

Also, 'gyppo.'

So far, as part of my market research, I've discovered I'm a female office worker called Gemma as well as being a cunt. I bought my car because it was easy to park in cities, and the road tax was £30.00 a year. Oh well.

[kinkersaab]

^you spent how much to get £30 road tax????  do you work in finance? 

[alf892]

My experience has been that people who seek to pigeon hole others by what they drive (or where they live, what they wear, what job they do) are cunts.

 

I suppose this means i am also a cunt because I have selected a group i wish to see (and influence others to) as cunts.......

 

I propose we all view each as cunts and therefore equal. We now no longer need to call each other cunts because we all know the other is proven to be a cunt.

 

We can then start the forum again happy in our equality and enjoyment of cars of any type that are only special because the owner likes it.

[rml2345]

More importantly than what my car says about me, or what I say about my car is what my car says about my car.

Hang on...

[UmBongo]

I don't think you can judge a person's character on the car they happen to be driving at that particular time.

 

Having said that, Audi drivers tend to be complete fookin' wankas!

[meggersdog]

I don't own a 1983 top of the range Austin Maestro with a talking dash and my car doesn't say a word about me or anything else.

[FredTransit]

how is this off topic?

[londonm]

Fred, fuck knows!

Saab 9-5

tight old git who wants safety, speed and comfort but hates German cars

[Quintus]

Ford Focus

 

I am obviously a carefree and rebellious type who wants to stand out from the crowd.

[Formula Autos]

I own both of these types of car:

 

 

   

 

 

They probably scream PUB LANDLORD! to the general populace or, to BMW and Audi driving reps, that I'm a sad wanker tooling about in old Mondeo-based wannabees that aren't a patch on a TT or 3-series Tourer.

 

They're paid for, with actual cash, and I like 'em. So I don't give a shit.

[Justin Case]

My car only says something about me to that type of person who is obsessed with such things. I think that they are shallow and their opinions worthless, so I just get on with my life and let others get on with theirs, but I still appreciate a good car of any type (including Shite), regardless of who owns it, or whatever image it has.

[brickwall]

My RR says I don't give two stuffs for aerodynamics or the atmosphere.

 

The C70  convertible says I'm a bald hairdresser.

[HillmanImp]

I hear what is being said about SAABs but the one I had said more 'serial killer' than anything else when i had it.

 

Thats nothing about what SAAB drivers look like, its just what i looked like driving that particular SAAB.

[Volksy]

This one makes me look like an '80s GP (Who's been struck off)

 

 

 

 

 

And this one makes me look like his receptionist.

 

[Stixy]

I thought this was going to be a story of an early talking MG Maestro that became self aware ( like the computor in Terminator )  and blabed the owners seceret's 

[rml2345]

^ that's a superb idea for a movie. It could be called "The Vanden Plas Confessions" or something.
