Does the car make the driver?, Personality-wise? Options

[CAMAricer]

Just wanted to get some other people's thoughts and opinion on this one...
Do you think the type of car a person drives has some/any influence on how they are as a driver? Or do drivers seek out cars that reflect their personalities?


Do certain car coincidentally have aggressive/reckless/idiotic drivers? For examples, Corvette, H2, Porsche drivers all have the same attitude when they're driving?

On the flip side, are there any cars that tend to have "better" drivers? The new Beetle, ever seen a jerk behind the wheel?

My experience has made me think many truck drivers (F150 etc) are bullies who tail you every chance they get. Ladies in Mercedes are flat out dangerous as they think they own the road and hardly ever signal when changing lanes and always try to pass you on the right. Heck, if they hit you, you'd be dead and they'd have a chipped fingernail, so what do they care, right? College chicks in Mustangs like to drive fast and dart in and out of traffic, but if you try to race them, they chicken out. Guys in Priuses think they can go 90 just b/c they are in hybrids (Newsflash! You're getting the same MPG as my ST, idiot!). And the worse of the worse, Civic guys revving at stop lights just because they see you (or me) in a modded car. Geeze learn more about cars and stop asking me if I got a turbo, it's an ST not A GT4! Also, we both live in CA, so what do you think?

my dad feels that people in red trucks and green cars drive like assholes. Everyone else is just normal asshole.


I dont think it has anything to do with the car. ive seen people in Smart Cars drive like assholes. its all about the driver. I myself have taken challenges on the high way, but i know my car. Ive tested it. i now what my car will do and what it wont do. And i never go past the WONT DO. thats peoples problem. They dont know the limitations of the car and they take dumb chances when they dont have to, or just want a thrill. the Mommy and Daddy syndrome is a big factor in this too. For those kids that their folks bought the car for them, they dont car because they will get another on if they reck it. I knew a kid in high school that went through 6 mustangs in 2 years. they just kept buying him a new one, and i mean new, none were ever used. I have a big problem with kids getting new cars and a biger problem with parents that buy them.

You have to know your car. Period others wise your a hazard IMO
