What Kind of Car are You?
Posted on November 20, 2004 by Ching under Life.
Brian and I were talking about cars the other day.. You know, since we’re preoccupied about that stuff lately. He wants to be practical and perhaps get a good reliable used car for me. I was thinking that if that were the case I’d just wait a couple of years and get the car that I really want. But then, we don’t think Sunny will last six months, let alone two years!
In trying to think of suitable cars, I asked Brian what kind of car he thought I would be if I were a car and not a person. He said that I would be a Cadillac XLR. I don’t even know what those look like so I had to ask him to elaborate. He goes, “You know.. Classy with nice lines.” I bust up laughing. He must be thinking of someone else, surely! I would never in a million years describe myself as classy. You’re talking to a girl who picks her nose, likes to sniff armpits, thinks farting the alphabet while aiming it at your spouse is hilarious and burps louder than Shrek.
Anyway, I was thinking to myself that I could get a car to match my personality. So I asked him, “Can I afford a Cadillac XLR?” He goes, “Hell no!” Ack, how can he be telling me I resemble a car that I can’t even afford? WTF?!
Then he starts thinking, “What did we say I was again?” I go, “A Suburban” as I burst into laughter. I remember telling him he reminded me of a Suburban because he’s big and roomy. He goes, “Oh, yeah.. Because I’m strong and powerful with lots of room in the trunk.”
I go, “You could be a Suburban with a flat tire” just because I like picking on him. He goes, “Great. So not only am I big, I’m slow too. You could say that I’m a Suburban with a flat tire and misfiring piston because I’m a little crazy too.”
And then, of course, I had to bring back the conversation to me.. Because of how self-absorbed I am. You know how it goes. Seriously though, I really didn’t buy that Cadillac crap. I think he must be wanting to get laid or something. But I digress, I want a car that would resemble my personality so I had him keep thinking. And then I came up with an idea on my own.. “I could be an RX8,” I tell him. But he disagreed. He said I wasn’t fast and racy.
So I still don’t know. Hmmm.. Now I it’s your turn to ponder the question: if you were a car, what kind of car would you be? Do you think I would be a Cadillac convertible? If not, what car do you think I would be? I’m curious! Leave the answer in the comments. I’m hoping we’ll get some interesting ones. =)

UPDATE: I went to the Cadillac website and checked out what an XLR looks like so I know what Brian is talking about. I gotta admit. They’re pretty spiffy. I think I just replaced my dream car! Lotus Elise step aside. Ching wants an XLR in blue steel now! Maybe when I win the lottery! LOL! Â
