The Car U Drive

[MD]

An oldie worth recycling..

The Car You Drive...
Alfa
Passionate and romantic, you fancy yourself. A bit unreliable, and can be eccentric too. You hate BMW drivers, but think and act just like them.
Audi
You would like to believe you are part of the new generation that is caring, environmentally conscious and family-orientated. Actually quite boring; nothing more than a glorified wuss. Will one day probably drive a Merc, but you still sometimes wonder if you shouldn't have bought that Bee-Em.
BMW
Self-centred, ambitious, dynamic and assertive. Can be a big show-off pig. Likes impressing too. Buppies and kugels past sell-by date. You think you will be CEO one day. Actually an office weenie who thinks you are God's gift.
Daewoo
Faceless, subservient and demure (except for Matiz drivers). To you, a good deal is to work from nine to five, get nothing for it, and still say thank you. And then you wonder why you don't have money for a time after hours.
Fiat
Cute self-confident girls climbing the corporate ladder with ball-breaking as their hidden agenda. Will take everything you own if she divorces you.
Ford
You still live in the 70's, trying to cope with the 90's (don't even mention the millennium). A loyal, diligent worker, but baffled by office politics and labour policies. Next car will probably also be a Ford.
Holden
You are the ultimate on-road wanker. You think your 80s model Commodore is a V8 supercar, OR you think by owning a Barina you're a true Holden fan. You're either a redneck or a way-too-standard family parent – but either way, you most likely drive like you're the only person on the road. You're even ignorant enough to argue that the new Commodore is better than the new Ford.
Honda
You aspire to drive a BMW. You are an opinionated pain-in-the-butt. The ultimate suffragette, or the boss's girlfriend (male or female!).
Isuzu
You like the smell of diesel and have secret fantasy of being a truck driver.
Hyundai /Kia
Quite progressive, intelligent and practical. But misguided. The kind of person who will suggest a sub-committee to find solutions to what the committee couldn't. You will always maintain that a Korean car is better than any Japanese model.
Jeep
You would like to believe you are living the American dream and just love the great outdoors. The closest you get to it is by watching Days of Our Lives and the Adventure Channel.
Land Rover
You are a designer person with a designer life, who always pays too much for everything. Designer mud comes free with the badge. You're a closet colonial racist and have fantasies about the Queen. If you have a Freelander, it was probably a break-up gift from your ex.
Mazda
A Ford driver with less money. Mostly staid boring with no image and less imagination. Lots of retired people drive Mazdas. You're in the way and should get off the road.
Mercedes-Benz
Responsible, immaculate and conservative. Boring CEO clones with too much money, or the office super-geek who can't remember what it's like to have fun. Definitely not dating material.
Nissan
Good, solid, responsible, loyal office-fodder. You like to travel and maintain that you can sell ice to the Eskimos. Favourite answer: "It's a company car."
Mitsubishi
Not as label-conscious as your Land Rover counterpart, but still suckered into believing in the ultimate Paris-to-Dakar, African adventure. You drive through puddles to create your own designer mud. You believe you've made the grade, but everyone else knows you've got a long way to go.
Peugeot
Thinks France is the best country in the world and bores everybody with your limited French knowledge and tales of the Louvre and the Sourbonne.
Porsche
Small dick or mid-life crisis.
Renault
An eccentric who likes doing things the wrong way around. Usually the one who asks all the silly questions at staff meetings. You fervently believe you have flair, but it's less than that of a French cookbook. Most probably gay.
Ssangyong
A make-believe fool, because you'd like a Pajero but can't afford it. Don't actually know that the engines are made in India and not in Germany.
Toyota
Although there are thousands of them, you mostly can't spot them in their zero-image cars. Toyotas are good, reliable cars and are bought by a wide variety of people who have zero personality to go with their cars and are basically chicken-shit scared people who will never take chances and will therefore be driving Toyotas forever.
The most zero-image car in the world?, ... a white Corolla
Volkswagen
Highly overrated for dependability cars since the days of the Beetle, but they do have a good re-sale value. Usually practical, sensible people who like to drive fast where nobody can see them. They are usually loyal to their brand to the point of irritation due to the fact that they lost their virginity on a Beetle's back seat.
Volvo
As square and safe as the car

...and feel free to ad your own to brands not listed such as Lotus, Citroen, Maserati, Seat..etc

LOTUS    Lots of trouble usually serious

Porsche
Small dick or mid-life crisis.

Which one were you Alister?

A few more laughs..

Citroen
You have a fetish for cucumber sandwiches and penny farthing bicycles. Given have a chance you love to sneak a whiff of undies on the clothesline because in reality you find the sight of a plumber's crack  over stimulating. Just once you wish you could date a BMW driver.

Seat
Dumb as doggie doodoos. You walked into a Fiat dealership because it sounded the same but failed every spelling test since grade 3.

Ferrari
A self induced dreamer. You are the only male driver in the world with a smaller crank handle than a male Porsche owner. You loathe Porsche drivers but not as much as cucumber sandwiches and you love to hang around chicks that wish they had a crank handle.

Skoda
A total introvert. You are so introverted you can't bear to be recognized so you don a different hero outfit on every time you get behind the wheel hoping that nobody will recognize you or that obscure car brand. You try to put your viewing stalkers off the scent by fitting stolen VW badges.

Porsche
Small dick or mid-life crisis.

Which one were you Alister? 

I'm just the bald, overweight wanker who can afford a 911. Well, two of them now actually.  But hey, whatever makes you happy is fine by me.

[Evan Bottcher]

Porsche-envy is a curse.

[Andrew Bose]

I thought it was called "menoporsche"

A bit harsh to call yourself bald and overweight.

....as I said, whatever makes you happy.....

[Evan Bottcher]

There's only one cure for your menoporsche Alister... you need to finish one of your projects! Y'know I'm not sure I've ever actually seen you in an Alfa?

[colcol]

I have seen Aggie driving an Alfa, but Evan i am a lot older than you, that was back in the days when i was driving a 33......, Colin.

Thanks Col!  Actually, I've only ever seen Evan drive a Sud and that's not a real......ooops!

[Evan Bottcher]

This is a proper off-topic thread now isn't it.  I was in the main street in Lightning Ridge today in the 75 Twinspark, and a rough-opal-mining-looking-character accosted me 'Love your car mate, she's a beauty!  I have a thing for Alfa Romeos, I used to have an Alfasud!'.

So many people 'used to' have an Alfasud.  Not so many people have them any more...

[Neil Choi]

Because they have all magically turned into a pile of iron oxide, Fe2O3............

[hmd]

I have multiple personality disorder, not including road cars I have tracked Subaru, BMW, Porsche and Alfa.

Why should you be slaved to one brand/marques?
It's cheaper to change cars than wife.
If you haven't driven a Porsche for a few fast lap don't bag it.
