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

2004 Porsche 911 turbo and 2018 Audi Q7 prestige. I find it weird that people take pride in their toyota and honda shitboxes. Life is short, why not learn to enjoy things.

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


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


But why do that

Also drive a 2018 Tesla Model S P100D - according to CNBC this is the car for rich speed freaks. True, 0 to 60 in 2.3 secs and completely silent. Unreal. Getting the Tesla roadster when it comes out in 2020: 0 to 60 in 1.9 secs!


That sounds really stupid but you do you.


Why is this stupid? I know several car people (NYC suburb) who do this--old Civic or similar to drive to the train station, park in places where your car is going to get messed up and a fast car for fun and weekends.


Everyone in CT/Westchester does this.

We like reliable cars that get good gas mileage. We have no school or college decals, even though our kids are in HS, college and grad school. We do have a decal for DH's home state (out west) and for places where we've skied (all US -- east coast and western states). No political bumper stickers even though we're passionate liberals. Cars are very clean inside.

What this says about us: we don't give a rip about impressing anyone. We don't harbor any delusions about bumper stickers persuading anyone to vote a certain way. We can't wait for our youngest to graduate from HS so we can move away from this status-conscious hellhole. Also, I can't stand clutter.

2012 Mazda c-x-9. I’m a Mom, business owner, and have 2 huge, gross dogs. I wanted a “fly under the radar” SUV b/c I drive 20 miles a week and would never want a car to “speak for me”.

Not everyone finds enjoyment in the same things (in your case driving luxury cars). You haven’t figured that out yet?

Yeah, you don’t want a fender bender in an Aston Martin: friend had a nurse hit his car in a parking lot at work, needs 75k in repairs!

I love my Honda shitbox. It’s worry free. No one is going to steal it. If I get a ding, so what! I had a trash truck back into me. Scratched the hood... sent him on his way. It’s a different kind of pride than driving a luxury car especially when you can afford to buy any car you want but keep a shitbox anyway.

They stopped making the Countach (without the "e") in 1990. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamborghini_Countach

I know you love your Kia but pretending its a Lambo? That's a stretching it just a bit too far.....

+1. We bought our 2005 Outback new and drove it until we killed it - 13 years later. If I'd been better about maintenance, it would have lasted even longer
