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

You weren't a good candidate for the penis enhancement surgery?

oh please, the Porsche Panameras are sexy as hell

only on DCUM is it cooler to have a junker over a Porsche

However, I like nice cars and the S550 is SO enjoyable when driving it. My daily driver is a plug in hybrid. The S550 guzzles gas.

No one does a “double take,” they probably think you’re an Uber driver.

The Panameras look like Accords. Only the Boxter is a dumber car to drive.

2001 BMW M5. Have owned it 10 years and love driving a rear wheel drive car with stick. 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.

Yes! Love sport wagons and the Porsche is ace.

Wow, really? DH has a 2008 x-type and we call it the money pit. We are thinking of junking it. Appreciate its elegant aesthetic but after 10k of repairs this year alone I think even DH is finally done. The newer jags look like Buicks imo, not appealing.

Both these cars are tasteless polluters. No difference.

Not PP, but what about the daily driver being a plug in hybrid?

And I don’t own a Jeep Wrangler. I was just saying that is what I have had 2 people say they expected me to be driving.

You are right, perhaps that is what they are thinking instead. You didn’t have to be so douchey with your response. You are the type of person that I would expect to be driving my car!

2007 Honda Accord and 2014 Honda Odyssey. It makes me virtually indistinguishable from probably a quarter of the families in our neighborhood who also seem to be two Honda families. My dad was a mechanic and gave me a very used Accord when I was 16. I've basically driven Honda ever since.
