All of those stereotypes come from people who are insecure with themselves and can't stand others with nice cars.

+1, John Tesh did one on his radio program that wasn't a slam against anyone/car type.

Sports car guy was "Adventurous and outgoing, more likely to be the life of the party"

That's the first one I ever heard that wasn't slanted to demean people with nice cars.

Im guessing most of those are written by a guy who's girl just left him for the hot guy in an exotic

I said it was funny... not accurate

I am surprised that penis size wasnt mentioned in regards to hummer owners

What do expect from an article about cars written by a guy who lives in Brooklyn, but wasn't actually born there (I'm betting he lives in Park Slope).

I'm bored at work and our internet is rather restrictive... my expectations are pretty low

I totally disagree with the Prius one. Most of the Priuses I see on the road are just mashing it, while still getting 35MPG

"what your car says about you".........." I hate when he farts in my seat "

With a ferocious 76 peak horsepower on tap, I think you have to mash it to make it move.

It says that he's _ _ _(Rhymes with "say").

VW Bug - says you could care a less what others think. You have your flower vase, and you are happy.

Ford -
You find excitement in adversity... a lot of adversity.

Chrysler -
You don't need a oil spray like James Bond; your car does it for you.

OLD British cars -
You could create music with your car... from all the trim pieces rattling or falling off.

haha i go 75-80mph and still get 42mpg

you'd be surprised how it can get up and go, my worst MPG to date after break in, is 39mpg

and theres nothing wrong with caring for the environment

as far as the article is concerned, sounds like he has NOT driven any of those cars, each of them has a purpose and serves em up pretty well IMO
