What car do folks resemble in performance, fate or style?

Trump is a yellow 1971 Pinto.

I'm a 20 year old Caddy with broken sensors

I'd like to think of myself as a classic Duesenberg, but I'm probably more of a Yugo that has somehow managed to keep sputtering down the road.

I'm not very well up on makes or models of cars, but I would be a very well-upholstered, comfortable one, with large tyres, a capacious boot and plenty of room inside.

Sounds like the 1965 Morris Oxford I once owned. For leisurely rather than furious driving, but capable of a surprising turn of speed if left to get on with it.

Myself? Citroën 2CV - primitive, quirky, useful.

Steve you must be a tiny thing. I can not fit my legs in a Capri.

My car is a real sleeper since I put a Yugo badge on the back.

Ivanka is a Cadillac two seater with a custom nose.

Americans have junk in the trunk, Brits have a snoot in the boot and Canadians have a Canute in the boot.

I'd be a Toyota Tacoma pickup just like the last 4 vehicles I've owned.
Boring I know but none of them ever required a major repair and I took all of them to over 150K and one to 230.
Now Trump would be a big orange Hummer running straight pipes with a "No Fat Chicks" sticker on the rear window and Dr. Laura blasting on the stereo.

We were watching a programme about Yanni, a British chap who customises supercars by wrapping them with lovely colours and accenting their trims and so on. He did a Lamborghini Aventador in the most delicious rose gold. It was absolutely beautiful, and it roared out of his workshop like a lion.
I've decided that, under my placid exterior, I'm secretly one of those. (But I must be in rose gold)

If you Google it, you can see it and have a drool.

If I were a Lamborghini I could be wrapped in kitty litter for all I care.

Gillmor, you are a wild and crazy practical utilitarian.

With a name like Dodge Ram it sounds accident prone.

If I had a pick up I might turn into a hoarder.

There is value in being an original condition car. The problem is that it is not in its original condition.

I have noticed that ISIS also sees the practical value of Toyota pick ups.

I'm a sucker for cars that make 'couped' up back seat passengers uncomfortable. Watching some people finding it impossible to get out is a bit sadistic but funny as hell. However no one asks me for a ride to the airport.

Kia Cee'd Eco something or other. Diesel-powered but because it's "Eco" I currently don't have to pay UK road tax: but since our totally incompetent Westminster govt have decided that diesel is awfy BAD (having previously promoted it as GOOD) I might have to start paying tax on it. It's not what you CO2, more what you NO2 it seems!

My first car was a yellow 1970 Opel Kadett station wagon with "woody" sides. It had lots of power, and took me on my first cross-country trip from Milwaukee to Los Angeles in 48 hours.
Who would like a yellow 1970 Opel Kadett Woody? I did. I hated to have to sell it when the Army got me and sent me to Berlin.

I'd like to think I'm a 1954 MG-TF... (or a 1928 Mercedes SSK).

But more realistically, I'm probably a 1997 Subaru Legacy with a blown head gasket and a strut that needs replacing.

My bottom joint needed replacing. Is that even worse? My big end isn't too bad but my top hose is rotten and my con rod has seen better days... Maybe I need to be fitted with a new caliper...

From "Farmer Hugh's motor car"

He rode with all precautions
Safety belt and all the lot
But one night of hot romance
His suppressor he forgot
As he changed from first to second
His piston gathered speed
His brakes they failed, His clutch it slipped
Because his big end had been seized.
