What does your car say about you?
Discussion
A few months back I was stuck in some traffic on the motorway near Exeter. Four of us in the car, us blokes in the front and the girls in the back, all mid-late twenties ish, in my Rover 75 Tourer. Let's bear in mind it's the full-pensioner spec, beige interior with wood dash, dark green paintwork etc. Boot filled to the roof with stuff. Alongside in the traffic jam appeared a newish silver Golf, with a elderly looking couple inside. Alongside, we saw the elderly lady looking across and her expression was a combination of shock and confusion at seeing us in the 75. It was a brilliant moment, we all absolutely pissed ourselves laughing as her expression was priceless.

Nissan Juke so either an OAP or a hairdresser, instead I'm a 22 year old male 
Sorry to be cruel mate but bloody hell, what went so wrong. I feel awful for you .Back on topic, my mx5 is probably a gay hairdresser.
My r26 megane seems to either say knob or boy racer chav. Especially since the ktec exhaust. I'm smiling though.

Elderly ladies tend not to notice car models, or associate them with types of people. I suspect that it was you/your driver or the passenger behind you/him that caused any shock/confusion - do you look weird ? Facial hair problem, tats, piercings, anything like that ?giblet said:
5.0 V8, not that big I’ll admit but no one apart from actual petrolheads seem to know what they are.

I occasionally see one as I get off the M6 in the morning. Every time I do it's radio off and windows open.

I've got a BMW 440i GC, so it probably says "pr**k".
Just had the M Performance Power and Sound Kit fitted (bit more power, a lot more noise) so now it's probably "noisy pr**k".
That lovely straight six sound though
is it not more likely to be "guy who bought one of those weird looking in-between models"?Just had the M Performance Power and Sound Kit fitted (bit more power, a lot more noise) so now it's probably "noisy pr**k".

Spent the weekend driving 7 hours each way.
Biggest thing I noticed on the roads was how bland everything is.
A Merc saloon, bmw saloon, Range Rover SUV etc were just as bland as a ford mondeo. Why people focus so much of their energy and money on such ordinary cars is bizzaire.
Unless is it a supercar or car that looks like a supercar then a £3k barge would suffice and not look any different than a £150k Range Rover.

2018 RRS either got too much money from selling drugs or has no money because he spends it all on his PCP. I actually just get the car cheap through my job and can't think of anything I'd prefer more as a daily
TBH if this was near Coventry (is that the right location?) the first think I'd assume is that you worked for JLR.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
