WHAT YOUR CAR SAYS ABOUT YOU

What kinds of messages do Your wheels deliver? Charles Kenny, president of a consumer psychology company called The Right Brain People, offers interpretations for a sampling of car models and colors. If You drive a:

Blue Toyota Camry: You are reliable, dependable, a play-it-safe type.

Green Honda Civic: You are practical, reasonable, but looking for a slight bit of style.

Silver BMW 325I: You might want a little attention, but are more interested in a pleasurable driving experience.

Red Ford Mustang Mach 1: You truly enjoy driving, and want to tell the world how fun-loving you are.

Gray Ford Expedition SUV: You're telling the world that, whatever you do, you do it really big.

Black Saturn sedan: You seek safety and security, but not necessarily peak performance.

Yellow Hummer: You are probably a guy who's insecure about showing how powerful you are. Hummers are powerful beasts, but getting it in yellow almost says, "Just kidding."

Mercedes C or E Class:

Depending on your age (and the age of your Merc), you are either a fool or have more money than you know what to do with. If the Benz is more than half your age (and you did not inherit it) then you need to be avoided. You are a victim of advertising hype and love to make an appearance wherever you go.

Lexus:

You know the value of research. You do not subscribe to the notion that it has to be European to work. You do not believe in commercials and value for money is key to all your major decisions.

None of these lists are ever accurate. They don't make much sense. I've had different cars on those list at different or even the same time and most of the time they all contradict themselves.

I think this is more about having a little fun than making sense . . .

A good orthopedic surgeon friend of mine used to own a Jag XJ6 and he always used to tell me "You need 1 for the shop and 1 for the road" Funny but true

That was true for decades, then was not for a while in the 1990's. Now, sadly, it is becoming true again.

No wonder, though, that he drove a Jag. If he was an orthopedic man he knows comfort and nice seats when he sees them....and how important that is to bones, muscles, and your spine.
