That list needs updated. I remeber reading it about 8 years ago. The Peugeot 505 listing should be a hint.

let me start a new one.

VW Jetta - I can't afford a 3 series, yet.
SLK - I am a hair dresser.
White Chevy van with no windows - I am a kidnapper.
Chevy malibu - I hate cars.

Or house painter. Or the local pervert who can fix up your house.

From my own experience:

'95 Saturn SL1, bought new: Young, cheap, susceptible to marketing hype.
'03 Subaru Outback wagon (3-liter H6 version): I buy my groceries at Whole Foods, but I like to leave quickly.
'81 300D: I convinced my wife I was being frugal, but I'm really just obsessive.

I see some gaping holes in that list:

Ford Explorer
Ford Expedition
Ford Excursion
GMC Yukon
Chevrolet Tahoe
Chevrolet Suburban
Dodge Durango


I'll let someone more creative put the proper descriptions for the above. If I did it, I'd probably be banned.

Or, you have character, are patient, reliable and get noticed.

This reminds me of a relationship I was in once with a young sexy... well.
A friend once ask what it was like. I told him it was like driving someone elses Ferrari.
Its either going to need some very expensive maintenence, someone will steal it or the the owner will want it back any day now. Lots of fun to drive, handled/performed well, great to be seen in but, was very unreliable. Esp if not maintained.
Traded her in for the 240 equivalent.
