    You know how you associate a car with the type of person the owner is? We all stereotype. So for example you're stopped at traffic lights and you hear a loud exhaust and bangin' tunes coming out of the car behind, you look in the mirror and see a pimped up Honda Civic with blacked out windows. You can't see the driver but you assume he's some class of a scobe.

    So what other stereotypes do you make with other models of car?

    CARS DEFINE ME.

    My car confession. When I had to organise a service for it, and he asked me to identify it I said 'It's a blue car'. I don't know the registration, mileage, wheel depth, or any other facts about my car. I was trying to look impressive by showing I knew when it was made.

    I look like a boy racer who thinks he's a dealer from the outside.
    But on the inside it makes me look as if I live in my car.
    I'm broke, I can't afford anything else! :mad:
