Are We What We Drive?
« on: February 16, 2005, 04:21:31 PM »
'fess up ... are we what we drive?  Now, not what we wanna drive sometime ideally.  

The year is not so important as the general style of our rides and what they might be saying about us.  

For example, I'm a 4-cylinder automatic transmission gray Camry sedan.  The best face I can put on that is maybe good value in a conservative exterior.  I usually choose practical sedans or wagons.  

What about your significant other?  Is her/his ride an accurate representation?  My wife is a V6 automatic transmission teal green Olds sedan -- I think that reflects her understated classiness.  

What are you and your significant other drivin' and how accurate are the matches?

(ADDED) -- Oops, this should have been in the OClub.  Sorry.

Yeah, probably, as disturbing as that is to consider. I drive a practical Dodge stratus with a nice sound system, getting a little long in tooth but very well cared for and reliable. Sigh.

Wife drives a Honda minivan -- better condition, very practical, the backbone of our family's day to day living.

We're not exciting, but we're realiable, organized, and get the important things right. But we do know how to play....
