What your Vehicle says about you!

These truths cannot be denied, regardless of how much you may want them to be. If you have the ability to choose your own vehicle for purchase, then own up to what it says about you. Hand-me-downs or otherwise are excused.  ;-)


If You Drive a:
Subaru or Misc. Hatchback

You are: A person well self-contained, a peace with yourself, active and usually possessing multiple "outdoorsy" interests.  You are a delight to know and your easy-going nature makes you easy friends around town and the office. I'm not sure, but a kayak or mountain bike might be issued upon vehicle purchase, already strapped to your roof.
How other drivers see you:
Your loveable ways become an all-out nuisance on the road. You're in no apparent hurry to make that turn, you seem to think merging into highway traffic at 40 MPH is completely acceptable, and you are ever-hesitant to start rolling again after a stop light changes.  Move over, granola bitches, you are making the rest of us late!
Pickup Truck

You are:  An extrovert, being around fun people and keeping busy are your deal. You aren't afraid to be the center of attention, but you need other people's approval to be happy. Having friends ask you to help them move secretly delights you and gives you a small feeling of power. If you have kids, you will find ways to justify your truck to all alternatives.
How other drivers see you:
Your attention-seeking and egomania are at their worst when you're behind the wheel of your road-hog. Something happens behind the wheel of a truck, and these drivers are among the most aggressive, and most-likely to run a Subaru off the road. Especially when a younger man drives a large pickup truck, the jokes become kind of cliche, but we do wonder what you're compensating for when you ROAR by a row of stopped cars, in the breakdown lane.  Ooooh, you're such a rule breaker and we're sooo impressed.
Mini Van

You are: A dedicated parent, and want to be prepared for whatever "life with the kids" throws at you. Having the right gear,brands, and space for it all is critical. Little Jr needs to get to baseball practice with 3 friends? No problem for you and all their stuff! 12 hour drive to Grandma's? This vehicle gets the job done and has room for everyone's bags of roadtrip necessities.
How other drivers see you:
Famous for the "must swing wide" turns, mini van drivers are all over the road, and in the way. You get a real mixture here as the reason behind the result- but whether it be the oblivious, petite lady driving a vehicle she can barely see over the steering wheel of, or the harried man who would rather be anywhere else at the moment than with his screaming kids, these vehicles are known as "the blockers". They are just large enough to completely stop traffic and prevent visibility for anyone trying to get around them. Perfect for countering the moves by Pickup Truck and Misc. Luxury Sports Car drivers in either a bout of passive aggression or complete oblivious distraction (as the battle in the backseat area wages on).
Misc. Luxury Sports Car

You are: Ostentatious, and proud of it. Similar to Pickup Truck drivers, you like the attention these cars bring, but you do it so much classier.  You may or may not have paid for the vehicle yourself (oh lucky sweet-16-ers out there!) but you regardless feel deserving of your speedy playtoy and take great pride in it. You crave excitement and view driving this car as a source of entertainment. Bets are you work in Sales if you bought the car yourself.
How other drivers see you:
Here comes the A-Hole riding up behind everyone. And he's in SUCH a big hurry! Best to watch your rear view mirrors for these guys, and just move on over for them. They'd rather change lanes 3 times in 30 seconds than drive behind all the other slowpokes (who are already going 80+ on the highway!). Oh wait, was that a cop car? Now he wants over into the non-passing lane, and watch how he suddenly is the model of a perfect driver...
Misc. Luxury SUV/Family Car

You are: Likely self-made in your considerable to moderate financial success (or your spouse is).  You have developed a taste for nicer things, and you feel you deserve them after your lifetime's efforts. The status symbol factor and the "because I can" element (no better use for that extra ~80k?) mark milestones for you. You feel important and attractive in your Luxury SUV.
How other drivers see you:
You lucky bastard. These cars scream luxury and pamper the occupants. Commutes just don't suck as much, comparatively, when you're ensconced in your haven of highway bliss.  Kids (surely!) must not find near as much to complain about when they each have a personal heating/cooling zone, cupholders a plenty (still a rare commodity in some makes/models!) and entertainment centers. TVs, DVD/Blu-ray players and various plugins -- they all help tame the little ones.
Massive SUV- Suburban/Explorer/Humvee/etc.

You are: One of two types of owner: ~3% have legitimate uses for these vehicles. They haul STUFF: business-necessities/tools/animals/etc. They also drive in a climate or area where road conditions demand something a bit more capable than a van. The other 97%... well, they like living large, and want other drivers to get the hell outta the way!
How other drivers see you:
Driving these tanks around town for piddly errands is serious overkill, and you know it.  Commuting in these fuel-efficiency nightmares is also a status symbol of sorts, when cost of fuel-ups (and frequency!) is taken into account. Most of these drivers literally can't tell where their vehicle starts or ends. They are most likely to "tap" other vehicles when trying to back out of a parking space. However, unlike Mini Van Driver, who is likely oblivious of a similar offense, these guys just don't give a damn. The reckless confidence with which the Massive SUV is driven is both a little humbling and alarming to witness.
More on this later, I'm enjoying myself, and still have to pigeonhole my own vehicle type!  ;-)
