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

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.

Yep! My grandmother -- from Wilton, CT -- did this! She had a little Daewoo for commuting and a Mercedes for other times.

2017 VW Golf - It says I love practical hatchbacks that are fun to drive and easy to park but aren't cheap to maintain (it's my third golf).

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.

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.

Same! I have a 2010 Subaru Fit that is covered in scratches. But I can fit into any parking space and don't worry about break ins or dings.

A BMW 440, according to DC Urban Mob, I'm an asshole.

It only turns heads to people who are into cars and know what the car is, otherwise it just looks like a clean older 5 series. My toddler loves it when it makes the vroom vroom noise. People probably think it’s just like any other BMW driver in this area.

Now that brings back memories. I had the 2003 model year in 2003 and my three kids loved me dropping them off and picking them up at their schools in that car. And, as you say the V-8 sound is awesome.

Empty nester now and my ride is a 2018 BMW M3. Not sure what it says about me, but I enjoy it immensely.

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.

Colorado flag on the Subaru?

13 year old beat up mid-sized SUV...I hope it says I'm too lazy to buy a new one as we have the money set aside but cannot decide on what I want. My kids complain so I tell them that I can buy a new car with their college fund money and they can take out loans. But, it usually starts and after about 30 minutes the heat finally come on.

I drive a Volvo V60, a practical, safe,roomy wagon. It says I am practical, prioritize safet, no nonsense, yet fun drive. Also, it gives 35mpg which again is practical.
