What Does Your Car Say About You?

Okay, ladies! Time for a break from the serious side of driving and have a little fun!

Car Color

Psychiatrists analyzed the favorite car color of more than 1000 motorists to determine how it reveals personality. Here's what the study reveals about YOU.

• Brown: The choice of a cautious, conservative, often introverted personality likely to drive the good bargain.
• White: It's the choice of a neat, compulsive motorist who can be both critical as well as fussy. The first choice of doctors - and drivers who are reliable, aloof and very methodical.
• Blue: You like consistency in your life. You're likely to be conservative, shy, and introverted. A team player who's sociable and friendly but lacking in imagination.
• Green: A hot fashion color that puts an emphasis on the environment, but the deeper the green, the more conservative and traditional person you are.
• Teals: The choice of a trend-setting extrovert who craves attention and desires admiration.
• Neutrals: The colors of non-commitment and chosen by someone who doesn't want to be conspicuous or stand out from the crowd.
• Grey: Expresses understated good taste and indicates a safe and cautious driver.
• Metallics: Chosen by confidant yet understated extroverts.
• Silver: You have great style and are often successful - but you tend to be pompous.
• Black: The choice of a serious, self-confident sophisticate. First choice of the ambitious and success-driven who see cars as status symbols.
• Yellow: The hue for active, artistic people and the individual willing to try something new.
• RED: You're outgoing and impulsive, but easily bored. On the bright side, you think and stay young.

Cars speak a great deal about their drivers. By looking at your car, one could guess everything from whether or not you have kids to whether you ski. Two door cars suggest a young driver, or a midlife crisis on wheels. Four doors suggest a practical person, perhaps with children. A car seat or two in the back definitely says children! A clean car means the driver is most likely neat with the rest of her life. And this is all before analyzing your bumper stickers and personalized plates!
