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

2013 Mazda CX9 -- I haul a lot of crap on a daily basis, despite a small family. We drive for long vacations and need the cargo space. Chose Mazda because 1) they had 0% interest for 5 years when we were car shopping, and 2) my prior car was a Toyota Camry that was a complete lemon so I didn't want another Toyota.

2015 Honda CR-V. I’m practical, I guess?

2019 Honda Odyssey. However I still have my 2004 Toyota sienna. All this says about me is I like minivans for a variety of reasons. Keeping my old van for the kids to drive as it is in great condition

'08 Toyota Highlander that has seen some stuff. It says - I don't like car payments or high tax bills.

It says, I'm a Mom who has to haul stuff and carpool kids. The stickers on the back tell what schools the kids attend. But I also like the high-end finishes like pano sunroof, heated leather seats, etc. (not as high-end as my previous car, but much less expensive to maintain).

Age = 2013, I plan to go over 100k in mileage before I buy my next used car.

What's with the school stickers? Why would anyone care where your kids go to school?

2015 Honda Odyssey. It says my PPA made me freak out about safety after my first was born (yes, I had a minivan with one kid). Also says I don't mind looking like a dork. Dorky and loving those sliding doors.

Also says I can't really drive a huge car without scraping it on various parking garage poles. Ugh.

I tried a 2012 Subrau Forester with a banged up front. I imagine people think I am a frumpy lesbian mom. The mom part is right, but I have a husband and I like to think I'm NOT frumpy.

Just another DCUM-er in my boring reliable four year old Japanese car.

I thought I posted this. Same car. Same excuse only now I'm expecting baby #3 and it's pretty tight so I think we'll have to get a minivan. DH doesn't want to sell or trade it in but I think we should. He feels that if a car is paid for we should hold onto it. I'd rather not have cars sitting in the driveway so we're at a standstill.

2003 honda civic with a dented fender. and 105k miles on it. I don't care what it says about me, other than I don't waste money on cars and I have a low property tax. LOL

A 2018 Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid Sport Turismo...w/462-horsepower twin turbo V-6. Don't know what it says about me, I'm sure someone will tell me. Don't care, either. I like it. We also have a bigger car (read: SUV) for sports practices/gear and snow driving.

I borrow my parents' car, and it says I am a young'un with strong family ties and no credit.

2006 Toyota Camry. It says I don't want a car payment, a car is to get me from point a to point b, and I don't want a new car damaged by all the potholes and tight parking spaces.

2017 Subaru Outback. Says I'm a mom who needs room to carpool and schlep gear, but I don't feel the need to spring for a pricier car.

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.
