What image do you think your car says about you?
Discussion
I dread to think.
.15 year old MX5 (which i've had for 13 years)
The have-nots: "look at that balding ponce thinking hes the big man in a sports car. I will drive right on his bumper in my humdrum family car to express my jealousy"
The haves: "poor sod, he can only afford an mx5. I will drive right on his bumper so he gets a good look at my expensive executive saloon, as he'll never own one himself"
MX5 drivers: "Oh here comes an mx5, i'll wave at him! Oh, he didnt wave back, the t
t"

Following on from the comments in the mid life crisis thread, how do you think you're perceived when others see you in your car?
Now, I don't care what people think when I'm driving my 20 year old BMW 5 series barge; I just like how it drives. It's not particularly shiny or modified from original, so when people see me (mid 40s age) in it I assume they are either thinking "bmw geek" or perhaps just "can't afford a newer car".
However I would be interested to know how others see me.
Or if you're feeling brave post a description of you and your car (or a photo) and what you think it says about you.
Yeah I reckon they think I'm poor too... Probably poorer than you as mine is only the 520i!Now, I don't care what people think when I'm driving my 20 year old BMW 5 series barge; I just like how it drives.

And here she is as she is now:
It is completely standard now. When I bought it it had a hole in the exhaust, 17" E39 wheels, and a chav spec steering wheel cover. Operation De-chav will be complete when the gearbox is changed as it whines currently. I was reading through the history file and I feel I owe it to the car, which was not cheap when new, to get it in near tip top condition. Oh and it doesn't shimmy.
It's says that i've given up all hope, am extremely poor and have zero interest in cars. It's an 11 year old Citroen Picasso diesel in the worst blue colour available.
It is an absolute fanny magnet though. As it's the type of car that says "I put family before everything". If you wind the window down you can actually hear women ovulating as you pass them.
