What does your car say about you?
A person’s choice of automobile speaks volumes about their personality. You are what you drive. The car you spin provides a sneak peek into your aspirations. It defines you perhaps even more than your hairstyle or wardrobe.
Here’s our tongue-in-cheek stab at stereotyping the owners of some of the vehicles seen on our roads.
Subaru Imprezza: The hallmark of youthful exuberance. Notorious for its
noise and speed, thus preferred by guys who believe that velocity
equals virility. Has “quickie” written all over it.
Toyota Vitz : It says you just got a job. Preferred by single women who
wear independence on their sleeves and take Oprah a little too literally.
Would not say red if they could say scarlet.
Probox : Says practical, average and enjoys being part of the crowd.
Considers fuel economy the car’s strongest point.
BMW : Says aspiring middle class card-holding member in need of
validation. The kind that races between traffic lights and complains
about the lack of autobahns in Kenya.
Toyota Hilux double cabin : Reads a man who dreams about an outdoor
life on a farm but couldn’t pitch a tent to save his life.
Range Rover : Battling midlife crisis and eager to prove that life really
does start at 40; maintaining image is key. It is a bitch to park but all
the stares compensate for the inconvenience.
Land Rover/ Land Cruiser: Ragged older man; young at heart who chalks the discovery of some nondescript bar in the middle of nowhere, serving cold beer as a worthy bragging point.
Mercedes Benz: An unapologetic collector of status symbols. Likely to
make a fuss if the bar doesn’t stock his brand of single malt whisky.
Noah / Voxy: Happily married, keeps an eight-to-five job and helps the
kids with their homework. Owes his/her success to divine
intervention.
