What does your car say about you?


Johnson

Recommended Posts

So, everybody says that the car is merely an extension of the owner. That every car says something about the person behind the wheel. What does your car(not just your `02) say about you?

Mine says(to me anyway), that I`m a bit rough around the edges, and definitely a bit odd.... Keep in mind my car is my daily driver in snow and rain, as well as the nice sunny days.

2002 owners "...will--I suspect--have to be pretty well-adjusted entthusiasts who want a good car, people with the sense of humor to enjoy its giant-killing permormance and the tase to appreciate its mechanical excellence. They will not be the kind who buy invisible middle-of-the-line 4 door sedans because that's what their friends and neighbors buy, nor will they be those pitiful men/boys who buy cars and use them as falsies for fleshing out baggy jockstraps." (this last part with apologies to our distaff 02 owners).

True in 1968 and true in 2013!

Mine say that I don't mind driving older, slower, less exotic BMW's and that I fancy them in their original state, big bumpers and all...

When I finally get Mary her E39, that will change the equation slightly.

Chevrolet Camaro – I enjoy beating the hell out of people

My `79 Monte said this, and that dying in a fiery crash is perfectly fine with me.

Ford Explorer – to me, “off road” means pulling into my driveway

My `88 Samurai was the complete opposite. It mocked people`s $30,000 lifted jeeps by showing up and parking next to them covered in mud....

Mazda Miata – I do not fear being decapitated by an eighteen-wheeler

My `76 Spitfire screamed this.

Dodge Neon – I sincerely enjoy doing the macarena

I had a neon once. But my mother made me do it, I swear!!!(goes and cries in corner)

BMW 2002 — ???

I have also realized that it says to other `02 owners, "I can put up with the general public thinking my car is a volvo". Why do they think it`s a volvo......?

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
