Of cars and personalities

Do people buy/ drive cars reflects their personality? Hmm, strangely, a classmate of mine recently changed his car to a pure white Volkswagen Beetle. It's such a girly car & well, when i was admiring it & asked why he chose pure white, he commented that it's for "purity". This guy is STRAIGHT.


My lecturer for Media Mgt is a no-nonsense, "old-school" kinda guy. One will think that he'd be driving a saloon car - one that screams "I am a family man!" but well, guess what, i saw him zip off in a chilli red 2-seater convertible. Hmm, kinda strange to see a grey-haired guy zipping around in one but well, it happens.


I have shocked colleagues when they see me in my Honda Integra. Oh well, can't help it. The sports rims do make the car look fierce & somehow "beng-ish". Is this car my personality? I'd say NO but then again, i didn't make the purchase decision. No wonder i receive strange looks when i stop at traffic junctions. Oh well, then again, i have received remarks that i am aggressive.


So, do people drive cars that reflect their personality? I kinda begin to believe that this's somewhat true. White beetle for a manly guy, sizzling 2-seater for a family man & beng-ish coupe for an "aggressor" within. Haha, life is an irony!

So KANGLIN, if u are reading this blog, i have decided to aim to own a Volkswagen Beetle before i turn 30 too! Wanna help to make my dream come true? It can be our 1st car!!! Ok, no white but green?! :)
