My favorite Car: Porsche 996 Turbo

The Car: Sleek and Sexy, Perfoms VERY well, strong, has an awsome growl.
Me: (Before reading this, you should note my low self-esteem...) Not sexy, weak, has a not awsome growl.

My car: 1989 Oldsmobile Delta 88: Blocky and awkward, not the strongest engine, despite the fact that it's a V-6, in decent condition. Sounds like a blender with a muffler.
Do the comparison to waht I am like. It is pretty close!
 
Can you do cartwheels, Miss McLaren? I can do those better than flips.

Anyhow, everyone has a personality. Some are extroverts and want to share their personality with the world. Can you do it with an automobile alone? Some believe you can. Sometimes a car with one personality can take on a brand new one with some cosmetic modifications to it (paint, rims, decals, etc.) I think people are trendy with Kei cars. There are as trendy as some of the ones into more modern, fun cars like the latest Scion tC that I like. I'm sure more trendy folks will probably enjoy the Chevrolet Cobalt (for those who like American cars).

Now describe a person's personality with... luxury cars.
 
Hrmmm... Interesting topic John. Maybe this should be a "Special Topic." :lol:

I've pondered this very question myself and how the car's I own are a reflection of me and my personality, color of the car aside.

My primary car is my Lexus IS 300. I define the car as elegant and agressive, but not so much in either way. Maybe a lean towards agressive looking.
I'd consider myself both of those characteristics, and characteristics that I pursue for myself. I'm definately agressive in things that I do, especially work related, and elegant in my dress. Both at work, and, outside of work.

But the Lexus name, also comes with a sense of reliability, and I definately reflect that aspect in my personal life and work life. If I'm needed, I'm ready to roll. Just like my car.

I think that we also know that the IS 300 is definately not the powerhouse of a car that it should have been made as. However, I'm the same way in that I'm definately not the powerhouse that I can be either, and that is why I have modified my car. Both in looks and in the HP area.
To me, that means that I am, as a person, self aware, and can modify my behaviour and way of thought accordingly, to produce better and more efficiently. I'm definatlely efficient at work, and can realize the areas that I need to improve upon.

On the flip side, I also own a 1990 Subaru Legacy station wagon. I bought this car due to the fact that I need somthing that is a bit more practical than the IS 300. The Legacy has cargo room and is more fuel efficient. I also bought the car for the purpose of being able to park, and not drive the IS 300 in Colorado's harsh winter environment.
The way this car reflects me, is that I can be practical, and demonstrate a need for function before fashion.
 
Hot babe in your avatar, Boombexus. Who is she? And the "Special Topic" deal is done for now. No future topic will carry that designation due to mockery, sarcasm, and the fact that I'd rather have the thread do the talking. Quote this and rant on me... I don't care really.

As I said in "Lexus: Lovliness and Elegance," Lexus cars can be alluring. Perhaps you can say that almost any car from them (even their nicely-styled RX330 SUV) carries an element of style. The driver must be saying he/she knows what gracefulness is like and loves to make a statement. Or as I like to say, "make a statement without saying anything."
 
I'm looking in my book about sports cars, and you have to be a cool person to have or admire the Noble M12 GTO of 2002. It can get to 60 in 3.9 seconds, and reaches 100 mph/96 kph in 9.4 seconds. I can probably assume that it may not look as extreme as the monstrous TVR Sagaris, as elegant as the Jaguar XJ220, or even the attitude of the Dodge Viper, but this car is pretty doggone good for your money. Speed Channel show "Sports Car Revolution" highlighted on the construction of the Noble M12 from concept to production. And let me tell you, to have 1g Racing prepare this monster here in North America, that can seriously excude some personality. Your average sport compact/tuner basher would say the car looks like a "riced-up" Honda CRX. But to me, this M12 is all-business. I think it has a pretty nice engine roar as well.

Be ready to tell the world you can intimidate even the most hardened non-believer if you own a Noble M12. And if you admire the M12, you still have plenty of time to get one and let the world know what time it is. You dig, player?
