Hardworking, 26 year old electrician.
Not sure you're getting the point of the thread.
Why?

confused
because it's about what people assume about you, based on their preconceptions about the car you drive. I think you just stated what you think you are?
Does it? That will be news to the Original Poster of this thread who wrote...

"What car do you own as your only car / main driver and what do you think it says about you?"

Still, thank you so very much for your valuable input and have a nice day.

yes
what do you think it says about you - you do understand that means what does it say about you to people that see the car and don't actually know anything about you?

Why would the above car say 'Hardworking, 26 year old electrician'?

Frightfully middle class and ruddy cheeked wanna be surfer, actually an accountant. Holidays in Cornwall with Jemima (first love(r), met at 16 at local grammar school during GCSEs, went to local Uni together and stayed at home with Mum and Dad) and first child (Monty, 3 years old, well behaved through iPad habit denied by parents to others, baby led weaned on chicken nuggets, but shhh don't tell anyone because were Veeeeegan Dharling).

Loves his old 'Fat Face' hoodie he bought in Newquay 6 years ago to match his converse all stars. Loves Billabong bumper sticker and goes 'Glamping' to appease Jemimas desire to get back to nature, but really they'd like to be in an all inclusive in Sharm El Sheki like their old school friends they look down on.

Would love to vote Liberal but is afraid is UKIPer / Gammon Dad will find out.

Love the 911. Is it modded?
A bit. It's a 1982 car, but now has a 3.6 Varioram lump and a fair bit of weight stripped out. 303bhp and 1100kg.

And I'm not a fan of detailing, but a bloke I know is.

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 tongue out

Long wait for a lease car to arrive, so have 'inherited' my wife's Vauxhall Zafira for the next few months. It says I've given up on life.
