Do you think you can tell alot about a person by the car they drive?

Question

Some people say you can....what do you think? :)

Answer 1

You bet you can. Do you think the same kind of personality that buys a 500hp Corvette or Mustang would be found in a mini van ? I don't think so !

Answer 2

Not really, they may be taking it for a wash.

Answer 3

Yes when you see some big old ugly Caddy driving around with tall tires and loud  stereo on a hot day with the window down because he spent all of his money on rims then you can bet that it is a idiot behind the wheel.

Answer 4

I've been selling cars for over ten years, you can't tell anything about a person based on make model and year.  But if the car is a neglected piece of c**p that is practically brand new, I can tell you that person probably neglects more than the car.  If the car is twenty years old and so clean you could eat off it, I'd say that person is careful, and meticulous about more than just their car.

The truth is most people have car loans, many of those loans are higher than the value of the car, so the person doesn't own anything but a car payment.  They may think otherwise, but that is just part of our american culture.  Don't be fooled by shiny objects.

Answer 5

I would have to say no.  I think it can be more misleading than anytihing.

Answer 6

not really I'll use this as a example. That guy In the BMW must be an A## HOLE because he drives like a maniac on the road. Is he really an *** Hole maybe not maybe he just sucks at driving. Plus their are allot of people out their that don't care about what type of car they drive

like me I could care less as long as it gets me where I want to go and as long as its in good condition I could car less. But then their is also allot of people that have cars they can't even afford they look good while driving but in reality their car is going to get repossessed next week so you really can't tell allot about a person by what they drive.

Answer 7

HA!

I have a 69 Stingray in the garage...   A 1985 F-350 crewcab in the driveway, but all I have driven recently is my prius.  So, depending on what I drive, you can make a judgment about me, but they will all be wrong.

Answer 8

No My boss is a multimillionaire and he drives an old chevy pickup and looks like a bum. He says people are less likely to hit him up for money that way.
