I'm old and past my best so enjoying it while I can.
You reach an age when you figure out that no-one cares about you, as they are too concerned with themselves.

A better question would be "What are you telling yourself with your choice or car?"

For the avoidance of doubt. Only you are interested in the answer. Nobody else cares. Not a jot.

Initial reactions to my 130i seem to range from total indifference from people that assume it is yet another diesel hatchback, to "what the hell have you bought one of them for, they're crap", so I'm not sure it really says anything about me to the majority. It's quite nice being able to slip under the radar.

At least 90 years old, death probably imminent.

It's a Civic.

I drive an Audi so people probably think I'm a cock. It's blue so they probably think I'm not as boring a cock as those who drive black, grey or silver ones or as chavvy a cock as those who drive white ones.

When it comes to cars there are three kinds of opinions:

The genuine car enthusiast who understands what the classics and interesting sleepers are.

The person who thinks he or she knows about cars but still tells Skoda jokes and thinks someone driving a Porsche must be loaded even though the Porsche is 15 years old and worth less than his Vauxhall Corsa.

The person who knows nothing about cars and doesn't care or thinks anything new looking or vaguely flashy looking, or even any car, is ostentatious and bourgeois.
