What image do you think your car says about you?
Discussion
I consider my car to look the 19-year-old not-been-washed-in-3-years workshed/dogvan it really is - I've no idea what it says about me but I reckon our neighbours hate me for the slick of power steering fluid it left on the road last year or the cloud of unburnt diesel it throws over their always-clean-and-tidy debtwagon on cold mornings ;0
I ran into an old schoolfriend at the beach last year who, when they saw me putting the dogs into the back, said
"That looks like the sort of car a millionaire would own if they didn't want anyone to know they were a millionaire?"
If that's true, I've neglected to tell MYSELF of my wealth - but I left her wondering of course ;0

Most people assume I sell cars and it's a company car. I don't and it isn't.

As for me - I'm a 5' 8", skinny, slightly ugly and loafer/red trousers/shirt/tweed jacket wearing 36 year old.
Draw your own conclusions!
Edited to add: the day I brought it home my GF said, somewhat witheringly - "you look like a boy-racer with money".

What it says is 'class and taste' !
Well, since I drive a
- PCPd
- automatic
- diesel
- Mercedes SLK
I must be probably the lowest of the low on here, beneath all contempt...
Obviously...
- I can't really afford one
- I can't drive and the driving experience is crap
- I'm a skinflint, the car will have s
t power delivery in a 1rpm band, will break down and take all of it's turbos, fuel system and injectors with it. (0-60 in 6.5s, 151mph, 204bhp and 500Nm of torque (but on PH torque is useless for anything). Yes. It's rubbish 
)
- I'm a mincing homo hairdresser, my car doesn't handle well etc etc
- ETA - mid-life crisis, penis extension etc
I should just kill myself now.

Judging by the number of people who've asked "why do you drive a Panda, aren't they for old people?", I guess it says I'm an old person.
I got bored trying to explain what a 100HP is, so I just say it's cheap to insure and easy to park when anyone asks now. It pains me to have to say that, but it's better than the blank, disbelieving stare you get when you try and tell people something so small and square is actually a hoot to drive.
If someone tried to big-up a Fiat Panda to me by saying "no, its not a normal Fiat Panda, it's a really good one" I would just shake my head slightly and talk to someone better.I got bored trying to explain what a 100HP is, so I just say it's cheap to insure and easy to park when anyone asks now.

Not a clue what people think of me and to be quite frank I couldn't care less.

Ford Mustang GT (2006)

Race numbers and name on the car
I'll be honest, I am a touch sceptical about your claim that you don't care.Early 30's

As if the car itself isn't attention seeking enough you add numbers and a name as the ultimate 'look at me' icing on the cake.
Incidentally, I am not criticising you for it - I love those cars and I am glad some people over here buy them, and the numbers/name is neither her nor there to me.
Just don't expect anyone to believe you don't care what people think. It's the equivalent to Lady Gaga pretending she wears those outfits around the house because they are comfortable and doesn't care what anyone thinks

I'd possibly be glad if you did....One of my colleagues found it odd when I pointed out a Panda 100hp in the car park and said I'd like to try one.
