Your man's car - true?

I read this article this morning, and I thought it might be worth sharing.

http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/sex/your-mans-car-choices-says-a-lot-about-him-2545734/

My DH drives a truck.  And he's pretty old-fashioned.  And he told me (after I read it to him) that he loves me like a prince...I think he's trying to build up some brownie points for later, lol.

So.  Does it accurately describe your H?

Re: Your man's car - true?

  • DH drives a truck, too, but he's definitely NOT old-fashioned. I really liked this part:

    "On the other hand, if he has a pair of balls hanging from the back, he is horrible and must immediately be stopped."

  • Yeah. DH drives a truck and he's pretty old-fashioned.

  • Um, no:

    BMW/Lexus/Infiniti: This says to me that he is either a real estate agent or some man with something to prove. I don't care how much he claims he needs a luxury vehicle, nobody REALLY needs one so badly. This guy will probably not go down on you much and will likely expect a happy ending after his next massage appointment. May also cheat, attend a health club with the Hummer guy, and frequent strip clubs.

     

  • Where is the description for the guy who drives a POS? :) I really love that he drives a car with 250k+ miles on it. It shows me he's willing to sacrifice himself for us. I know I say that a lot, but I'm proud of him.

    Is someone bitter much? Congrats, they can attach a tired stereotype to each kind of car. I see zero thought in this article.

    That's exactly what I was thinking. My husband traded in his truck to get me my new car and he started driving the old POS Honda. Definitely selfless!

    This is us. DH drives a 99 civic that I got when I was 16. He gave me his newer SUV to drive. Both are paid for, but I'm thankful he gave me the more comfortable and reliable (not to mention nicer looking!) car while he drives the pos.

  • H's car isn't on the list.

    None of the descriptions fit him, even the one for the car he would like to have. But, I don't put much stock in anything from the "sex and love" section of yahoo.

  • It's a total fluff piece, I agree. I just thought it was funny.  And to be honest, DH isn't as old-fashioned as he'd like to think he is.

    lol. Just saw there was a Civic option...

    Honda Civic: This guy is practical, loving, and smart. He may be a grad student or a soccer dad, but either way, he is down to earth and perfect in every way. He's a keeper!

    DH *is* a poor grad student!

  • My H drives a very big truck.  It's moderately accurate!
