What kind of car do you drive and what does it say about you if anything?

I curse every time I have to try to squeeze my 4YO and still-rear-facing 2.5YO into their carseats when someone parks too close next to me and I don't have sliding doors. Double cursing when it's raining...


2018 GMC Acadia here and I feel exactly the same about the minivan!

Probably says I’m an average person.... I don’t think anyone sees me trying the car and gives it a second thought. I blend right in.

2013 Town and Country minivan.

Probably says - I have a lot of kids and/or shuttle around a lot of kids. It also probably says I don't make enough money to have an Odyssey/Sienna and had to settle for a lower grade minivan.

What DCUM would add: I am not cool and have given up on life for driving a minivan.

Reality: I only have 2 kids, but I drive carpools all of the time. I could have gotten a Honda/Toyota with less features (which were important to me) so I got the folly loaded T&C, and I never was cool.

It says we are neoconservative businessmen.


It's our only car (walkable NYC suburb) and we drive maybe 3 days a week.

Leased, have no idea why people spend 100k+ on something they're just going to have for 3 years

I drive a 2009 Honda Accord.

Simple -
No bells or whistles.

It states that I want a reliable, Japanese car but cannot afford a newer one.

After years (!!) of dealing w/American cars that kept breaking down + co$ting me a ton in repairs, it finally feels awesome to own a car that doesn’t need to spend 1/3 of its life stuck at the mechanic shop.

If you asked me one month girl, I would’ve said a 2004 Toyota sienna. Today a 2019 Honda Odyssey. It just tells you that I’m boring and predictable and like the practicality of a van for carting people and things

Because when they buy they plan to keep it longer than 3 years.

Well at least you're frank about it.


Saved my ass during the Snowmageddon!


I gave birth during a major snowstorm (precipitous labor, baby arrived 20 minutes after we got to the hospital). Luckily my husband drives a Silverado!

2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. People probably think I am a soccer mom. No kids, just 2 dogs 60+ lbs each so they fit well. Drive it because its big. I grew up in a city and didn't start driving regularly until I was in my 30's. My job takes me down 95 regularly to Richmond. I like to be in a bigger vehicle.

It says that we have kids and don't make a ton of money. It secretly also says that DH is really tall and surprisingly few models fit him.

Drive a 10 year old Saab 9-3 with electronically modified engine (tuned) to 300 horsepower with more torque than most (non-turbo) V6 engines. Says that I like older cars, like to be different, but can still surprise (and annoy) German lux-car owners. Oh, did I mention it has a manual transmission?
