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?

I think it has had to do mostly with the driver. I drive my moms camry like a maniac sometimes...just cuz i can. Doesn't matter what car, its actually more fun to do it in the most unlikely car!! Hell yeah topping out at 95 in your friends geo metro is the BEST!!! LOL. The only other car i've driven thats as slow if not slower than my car!!!

The car can make a difference too...if i ever get a chance to own or at least drive any of the supercars out there, you can bet im gonna put my foot to the floor!!! But in the end its still the driver.
