MB - I don’t know how half this shit works but you’d be driving this too if you could afford it. Audi - I’m a dick and I don’t care who knows it. BMW - I may be a dick but my car wasn’t designed in an anime studio. Jaguar - 'Eff ze Germans. We won the war. Lexus - Toyota who? Infinity - Datsun who? Acura - You say Honda like it’s a bad thing. Hyundai - Just as good as Honda. Kia - My retired dad drives a Hyundai. Ford - If I squint, and lie to myself, I think I’m in an Aston Martin. GM - I was told the parts would be cheap and anyone can fix it for nothing. Dodge - I’ve given up. I can go on but you get the idea… 😃 ---

Odyssey - sensible mundane with kids. Volvo SUV - sensible upscale mundane living in a bad weather zone. Classic Mustang - hanging on to a past they can’t believe is gone. Cobra - Hell’s Angel on four wheels who likes watching people grin as he drives by. Oh… wait… those are me. The Subaru doesn’t count, it’s my daughter’s. But… Subaru - sensible mundane who doesn’t need a Volvo nameplate to drive in a bad weather zone. ---
