goddamn...this country is fvcked...

About 1 in 4 drivers thinks of his or her car as ``something special" instead of just a ``means of transportation," according to a poll released yesterday by the Pew Research Center. Nearly 1 in 3 thinks it has ``a personality of its own."

That's weird. I heard on the radio today that people's dislike for driving is at an all time high. I wish I could just ride everywhere, but it's just not possible for me.

 

[Toshi]

my car definitely has a personality. unforgiving

 

[BurlyShirley]

havent you ever seen cars?

Mine is a piece of sh!t. :love:

 

[chuffer]

i have never bought a car new off the lot in my life and every vehicle i have ever owned I have done 99% of the wrench work myself, so i have, perhaps, an odd perspective. for good or for bad somehow a honda civic that runs like a swiss watch with 350000 miles or an international scout that you've had on its roof a half a dozen times do, in fact, develop a sort of personality.

goons buying a brand new chrysler 300, giving it a name and saying it has personality = teh lame.

 

[SkaredShtles]

My cars have never had any "personality."

People are retarded.

 

[jimmydean]

My '69 has a temper, not sure if that counts or not.

I agree with you... Certain cars CAN have "personality"... just most don't

SS, you just haven't had the right cars yet! no my subie's don't have personality, they just get me to where I need to be.

some of my VW's have had the unrelenting nag personality! and my Austin Healy just cries to me every time I see it... "FIX ME YOU LAZY BASTARD" then again that just may be my internal monologue!

 

[ukjason]

My car hates me

 

[chicodude]

Why of COURSE mine does!!!

 

[habitatxskate]

mine kind of says," if you won't let me die, i'll kill you"

 

[Toshi]

perhaps cars reflect their owners' personalities... ink:

 

[S.K.C.]

Mine is really annoying.

It nags and nags, and whenever I go to take it to the garage it complains about being "violated" or something.

...sounds like a snobby, douchebag too.

 

[stevew]

My car, no.

cars and personality, depends.....

and one of my favorites, the sh!tty splitty

 

[narlus]

after seeing stevew's reply, i do allow for the fact that some cars could have a personality. certainly not 30% though.

btw, is that a hippie stuck in the 'splitty's' grill?

Oh, I've had plenty of "interesting" cars. I just don't subscribe to the tired habit people have of anthropomorphizing everything. Cars don't have personality. They are piles of metal, plastic, and poisonous fluids.

There's your answer.

haha, just rope.

 

[dh girlie]

My car talks to me like Kit on Night Rider....

[narlus]

haha, just rope.

just to the right of the right-most headlamp...looks like a papier-mache jesus.

or am i insane?

i also swore i saw a brief re-emergence of dh girlie.

i must be insane.

 

[johnbryanpeters]

I dunno about personalities, but I'm now madly in love with that Dave Howell truck!

 

[Dirtjumper999]

I'll have my car on cruise control going 70 and see that I'm passing a car way too fast, then look down and see that it is going 80. Some days it is like a little race car, sometimes its exactly what it is, a saturn l-series.

 

[kindtrails]

My (Truck) has tons of personality. She's allways bitching and complaining (notice I call it her--no offense ladies)

 

[Alfred]

I guess Kit screwed things up with that telephone pole and sportworks rack a couple of years back.

 

[BurlyShirley]

My car is the "TheInbred" of cars. It just keeps rolling along without doing anything of interest

..kidding dude.

The only thing interesting mine ever did was to run away from home for 30 days once.

 

[kidwoo]

You're asking this question among a bunch of people who refer to their bikes as "her."

 

[dhbuilder]
