What does your car say about you?

I drive a 10-year-old Japanese minivan. It's dented and scratched and really dirty inside. I could afford a new car, but I don't want one.
My best friend drives a shiny new Volvo sedan. Hers has leather. Mine has stained fabric seats. My friend lives in an apartment she rents. I live in an old Victorian I own. It's clean and neat and looks very nice. I never clean my car. I don't even wash it. When it gets dirty, I let it sit out in the rain. What does my car say about me? And I hate SUVs. I hate them with a passion. I think they are gas-guzzling, Republican, nouveau riche cars. Not a single one of my true-blue friends drives an SUV. I even scratch people off my list when I find out they drive an SUV. A friend (not a close one, but someone I like) is considering buying a Volvo SUV, and my pencil is out. Her current car is a 10-year-old Lexus sedan, which I consider acceptable. She never washes it, and it's dirtier than mine. Is my friend changing because she's looking at an SUV? I would never consider buying an SUV. If someone gave me one, I'd sell it and buy a minivan or a sedan, or maybe a wagon. But not now. I like my old minivan. It probably gets worse mileage than a new SUV. Do cars mean say as much as I think they do? Can I get over this SUV hatred? Are there others out there like me? What does your car say about you? |

It says I have 3 kids under the age of 5.
I need the SUV. Will sell it and buy a sedan as soon as I can, but for now I need the 3rd row. |

I don't know what your car says about you, but I know what this post says about you -- that you are pretty damn pleased with yourself.

question: can you give one rational reason why your minivan is superior to an SUV of the same size and model year? meaning, I bet their curb weights are identical, the turning radius, the blind spots, and possibly the gas mileage depending on whether the SUV is built on a car-based platform or truck-based platform.
sincere question. |

Don't know what this means. My SIL (a Republican) exchanged her Honda minivan for a Honda SUV. They are built on the same platform, so are essentially the same car, except for the doors, and the SUV is a little higher off the ground (I think). But I still HATE her SUV. I hate it, and while I don't hate my SIL, she's not my friend. And she's a Republican, a really irrational, Iraq war supporting, pro Bush Republican with thoughtless knee-jerk conservative views. I think that's why I hate her car, which gets the same gas mileage as mine. But it only has two rows of seats, and mine has three. |

I LOVE YOU. Great question to OP. Mostly, she just believes that SHE is superior to anyone who drives a different car than she does. Therefore, she started this stupid post. Makes me wonder: what does your dog say about you? What does your favorite morning drink say about you? Are you a Starbucks Venti Latte girl or an old chipped mug with green decaf tea in it? Blah blah blah. |

You have a lot of hate going on. Peace out. |

So does the OP, big time. PWT means poor white trash. Love, Someone who can google. p.s. Anyone who drives a minivan is only using it from place to place. Some of us love driving and minivans handle like beasts. Blech. And I'd never buy a Japanese car either. |

I'm about to have 3 kids under five. I drive a zippy little Audi A3 that I LOVE. I am searching for a way to get three car seats across the back of my car. I don't want to give up my Audi!
I don't like SUVs or minivans, but only because I can't see out the back of of them LOL! Right now, my husband struggles to drive my car because he is so tall. If we were only going to have one car, we would something to accommodate all of us. If I can't get three car seats into my car, I'm going to cry. Your car doesn't define you. If you have kids and giant car seats, you need a bigger car. For some people the practicality of a minivan makes sense to them; for others, a smaller car makes better sense. |

| What does my car say about me? That I don't have any money to get the brakes fixed. My car says this to every other car on the road every time I go somewhere-it's not a talking car, it's a screeching car. It kind of reminds me of MIL. |

| I have to think this post is a joke. Who could be this pathetic? These are the kinds of thoughts you never expose out loud (if you're insecure and hate-filled enough to have them!!) |

I don't know what your car says about you, but your post says that you're self-righteous, judgmental and perhaps a hypocrite. Certainly not someone I'd want to be friends with.
Personally, I'd never drive a mini-van b/c I think they're hideous. I'd also never judge my friends based on what kind of car they own. I have friends who drive old and new sedans, minivans, SUVs and I frankly don't find any relation between their cars and their personalities or their political views. OP, I think you're a jerk. |
