What You Drive Reveals A Lot About Your Personality
Can a car reflect its owner? There’s an idea that the type of vehicle you drive (and the condition you keep it in) can reveal important facets of your personality. There are exceptions, of course (if you bought a car that keeps breaking down, for instance, that just means you need to find the best lemon law lawyer in town), but by-and-large, your vehicle choices mean something.
Today, we’re going to take a look at what some of those supposed connections between automobiles and their owners’ personalities might be (you may want to keep your fingers crossed in hopes that yours doesn’t reveal anything awful about your character).
If You Drive A “Beater”…
Let’s say you drive a beatdown, less-than-modern vehicle. It might not have the freshest coat of paint, and it might even be a little junky on the inside. Don’t worry, though, because this doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ve got some crazy personality flaw, no. It just means that you’re a free spirit! You aren’t fettered by the need to show off material wealth through what you drive. You’re content letting your ride be a plain one, and that’s not a bad way to live!
If You Like Your Cars Red And Sporty…
You probably already know that we, as a society, associate the red automobile with driving fast. What you may not have realized, however, was that choosing a fast, red car for yourself might also mean that you enjoy risks. Going fast, after all, is a risky action, and it’s quite possible that you are similarly comfortable rolling the dice in other areas of life.
Even if you aren’t prone to speeding, though, red cars give the impression of such, are more likely to be targeted by the police for traffic stops, and more likely to be a mark for thieves if they are going to steal a vehicle for joyriding purposes. Even if you aren’t a speedster, your red car certainly tells others that you’re reveling in all the attention you’ll be getting!
If You Hit The Road In A Minivan…
Now, the obvious assumption, if you drive a minivan, is that you have children and need a practical ride to ferry them all around town. While this certainly could be the case, it’s not the only prominent interpretation of all the minivan mavens out there.
It could also mean that you like to travel in groups with your friends, and to accommodate them all drive a large and comfortable vehicle. Alternatively, your love of the minivan might mean you indulge in a hobby that requires you to carry a lot of gear from one location to another (like a musician), and, instead of an overpriced pickup truck, you opt for the simpler solution.
If You Put A Sticker On Your Car…
Stickers on vehicles can be a hot-button issue for certain segments of the population. We’ll just put it like this: if you’ve got the courage to put what you’re thinking on display like that, you’re most likely outspoken and have deeply-held convictions about what you’re putting out there. On the flipside, though, you might just know that stickers can get under people’s skin, and you revel in stirring up a bit of mischief!
