I remember a blog a while ago, where a guy said that he thought women who ask him what car he drives are shallow, basing what he drives as a reflection of his income.

That to me is a man’s theory and not necessarily the truth.

I mean.. don’t guys when they’re chatting with other guys bring up the subject of what cars they drive? They cant all be judging on income, more a general interest.

I think its more likely that people see the car you drive as an extension of your personality.

What impression does one get for instance when you see a man in his later years driving a sports car?,,,
Instead of thinking that the guy has spent some of his retirement money or savings on the car of his dreams, hes often judged as a man trying to impress the ladies.


Some guys drive small cars for economy reasons, low on fuel costs etc, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that he couldn’t afford a bigger or fancier car however, but just his choice.

In the UK I drove one of …..>>these<< now what does that say about me? lol


A man driving a six seater, often one would immediately think he is married with a family, when there could be other reasons why he has bought a vehicle with plenty of seating.
He may be with a club where he drives his other members around, fishing friends, football chums, even for church where hes often picking up other parishioners.
In a movie the other day I saw a woman question a guy who said he didn’t have any children, yet there was a child seat in the back, it was his nephew’s.
It seems that people are judged by the car they drive, not just financially, but it says a lot about your lifestyle, self image, and how you wish the world to see you too.

A pick up truck to many ladies is sexy, it says macho hard working man.
A woman in a pick up truck says shes barrowed her husbands truck.

A young woman driving a sports convertible says daddys money or hairdresser in debt.
An older woman in the same car says successful business woman.

A young man driving an expensive sports car says... heavily in debt.
An older man in a sports car says old man on the hunt for young women.

A middle aged man driving a compact says sensible and possibly boring.
A middle aged woman in a compact says divorced.

A person on a bicycle says poor.

A young man on a motor bike says daring and fun.
An older man on a motorbike says man trying to relive his youth.
A woman on a motorbike says one of the boys.

And quite possibly all the assumptions above are not all fact at all, but its how people perceive you regarding the vehicle you drive.

As for the title of my blog….

A mans car is an extension of his……..
