According to psychologist Carleton Kendrick, an analyst of auto trends, “Your car is the best way of advertising who you are and how well you’re doing.” This statement applies even more so to luxury car owners who believe that cars are more than about getting from point A to point B.
Being a car enthusiast myself, I wholeheartedly agree that cars are an expression of your personality and status. But while owning a luxury car sends a message to those around you, not all send the right one. Find out what your luxury car says about you, in this article from Forbes.
I wonder what owning the Porsche 997 Gemballa GTR 650 Avalanche (pictured above) with 650 horsepower and 650 ft. lbs of torque says about you?

Yeah, to me, my car is a lot more than a means of transportation. I get a lot of thinking done and as much adrenaline pumped through my veins when I drive my car.

Sometimes, what your car says about you is that some people love their cars more than they love their wife. ;P

I definitely spend more money on my car than any girl that I have been with.
Porsche 911 two-door
Base price: $72,400
What it says about you:
Eighty-eight percent of Porsche 911 owners are male. Your household income is around $390,000, and you are most likely a doctor or a lawyer with your own business or practice. You are about 51 years old.
Im not a doctor, or lawyer, I dont have my own business yet, but Im working on that, and Im definitely not 51, Im half of that.

I honestly believe a car is only a judge of how wealthy a person wants to appear, and not how wealthy they are.
It’s more of a gauge of how much they value their money. You would have to be stupidly rich to justify a car in the six figures… like an oil tycoon or investment guru.
Think about the loss opportunity cost of buying a 300,000 dollar car… or worse, paying interest on it.
With meager returns of 6% on 300,000 you could gain another six figures in 5 years… versus the trade in value of a car that has 5 more years of miles on it.

Cars are cars in the first place. To justify the meaning of a person’s personality through the sheer scrutinization of a specific vehicle is the notion of nothing but nonsense experimentation. To elaborate this case, take this example, pls. forgive my decision to go on the sidelines, but pls. bear that this MAY have a meaning to the purpose of explaining my points of view: One day a 6 year old young boy walk by to a CD store and decided to buy Old Time Classics, 50’s mainly. The shop owner was odd to see the boy’s enthusiasm to 50’s music. The boy was very happy, he decided to took it out of the shelf, paid the cashier/store owner and went back home to listen to it more.
Lesson: Have you seen many young boys listening to 50’s music these days, since the start of 2000, many now are hype into R’N'Bs not 50’s music.
SO……IN THE CASE OF THE COMPARISON BETWEEN THE VALUE OF THE CAR AND THE PERSONALITY PERSPECTIVE OF THE PERSON IS TOTALLY NONSENSE AND STUPID.
