What Your Car Says About Your Personality

What Your Car Says About Your Personality

I'm sure we've all driven past someone and thought about what their life must be like to own that car, or made a judgment of another driver's personality based on the car they're driving—well, there may be something to the idea that people in certain types of cars have predictable personality types. Let's examine what your car could say about you as a person.

Three's A Crowd, But You're Okay With It

Any parent with more than two kids will tell you three's a crowd. Well, if you own a minivan or other large SUV with more than two rows of seats, chances are you're used to being the kid's taxi—from home to school or from home to sporting events. If your car has three or more rows of seating, you thrive on the chaos of the backseats.

Don't Dim Your Lights? Don't Be So Selfish

We've all accidentally left our "brights" on—but purposefully not turning them off can be a real hazard to other road users. The newest headlight technology is ultra-bright LEDs, which is great—unless you happen to be staring down the barrel of them while driving. Purposefully leaving your lights on bright when approaching another vehicle tells the world you're selfish and that you don't care for the astigmatism of others.

Got Family Stick Figures? You're Family-Oriented

Not only is the multi-row minivan an indicator of just how much you love driving your family around, but so too are the little white stick figures you see on people's rear windows. Often indicating how many children and/or pets they have, these fun stickers tell the world that you're family-oriented and that your family comes first.

Sports Stickers Tell Everyone You're The Life Of The Party

While many can go overboard with their support of a sports team (such as covering almost every square inch of their car in paraphernalia from their favorite sports team), a few stickers here and there with the team's logo or slogan let everyone know which team you support.

Chances are you're the life of the Sunday football party and go harder for your team than almost anyone else.
