The late Paul Walker once said, “I’m a crazy car guy. I’ve got an airplane hangar full of cars.” Perfectly said too, as what guy isn’t mad about cars?
With everyone shopping for cars recently, especially in Penang (ring in the new year with a brand new car much?), we figured why not share certain traits of men who drive certain types of cars. After all, you are what you drive.
The BMW/Mercedes
The kind of cars men in high positions usually use. A boss’ car, to be exact, as it is the symbol of status and precision driving. Men who drive Beamers and Mercedes are usually driven workaholics (how else do you explain them paying for the car?). But be careful if you date one of them. They can be materialistic and male chauvinists.
The Sedan
The practical and economically friendly car, usually manufactured by Honda, Toyota and Hyundai. Men who choose the sedan are usually stable, intellectuals, who tend to make wise decisions, well just look at the car they purchased. If you tend to have your head in the clouds like me, this type of guy is the kind you should be dating, as he will help keep your feet on the ground. Not only that, they’re usually the type girls tend to dub as marriage material.
The Pick-up truck
The Vin Diesel of all cars. The pick-up truck practically eludes a sense of macho-ness. A guy who drives a pick-up truck is usually a man’s man; reliable and strong.
The flashy sports car
Now this depends on his age and career. A young businessman driving a Porsche is definitely sexy, and I don’t mean based on his bank account. He’s the carefree stud wearing crisp, designer shirts. He can be a bit of a modern day Romeo, a George Clooney, as he’s not thinking of a long term relationship. In fact, the only thing on his mind are his weekend plans.
If he isn’t a young career motivated guy, then don’t be fooled, ladies. He’s just a scrub driving his daddy’s car.
And if he’s a middle aged man driving a convertible, don’t even go there. He’s just going through some midlife crisis and a pretty young thing to entertain that crisis while his wife and kids wait at home.
The Hybrid
Environmentalist and most chances, he most probably is a hipster. Well, whatever rocks your boat.
Again, I could be wrong. But whatever it is, share your thoughts on our local cars and lend a helping hand for those in the midst of car shopping.
