Question Car Colour and Personality

Black cars denote an aggressive personality or someone who's an outsider or rebel.
Silver cars indicate someone who's cool, calm and slightly aloof.
Green cars can often be chosen by people with hysterical tendencies.
Yellow cars signify someone who is idealistic and novelty loving.
Blue cars are chosen by the more introspective, reflective and cautious driver.
Gray cars represent those who are calm, sober and dedicated to their work.
Red cars denote those who are full of zest, energy and drive and who think, move and talk quickly.
Pink cars are chosen by gentle, loving and affectionate drivers.
White cars represent status-seeking extrovert drivers.
Cream cars are the least likely to be involved in accidents and denote self-contained and controlled owners.

Ok so i am -

GT - Yellow cars signify someone who is idealistic and novelty loving

Capri - Red cars denote those who are full of zest, energy and drive and who think, move and talk quickly.


Work Ute BA Xl - Blue cars are chosen by the more introspective, reflective and cautious driver

So what does that make me?

Confused - but that went without saying i suppose LOL

Silver also bought by people who have owned several bright coloured cars and have found that they tend to get noticed by the wrong people.
Silver is common and boring and blends in.

So instead of:

It was a bright blue GT-P with silver stripes and a BOSS290 sticker, rego "HOON 123" going 250km/h in a school zone at 3pm while dropping a burnout. I see it all the time parked outside Hoons'r'us, I think Wodger drives it and he is a wobber a wapist and a pickpocket.

the anonymous hoon report is:

It was a silver grey holden or falcon or toyota or something, I think, didn't get the rego. It looked fairly new maybe less than 10 years old, a bit like most of the other cars on the road really. Sorry I have no more details I fell asleep while looking at it.......

It is good for a chuckle though surely... does everything posted have to be a reflection of the exact truth of how things are represented.. Surely those of us with what is called a sense of humour can see the light side of these types of things.. have a chuckle, post what colour you have and move along... :alien2: :

I find it amusing, that was why i suggested people take it as a joke..."read it like a horoscope"..that was what i meant.

I dont own a car, its officially Brett's. I dont drive a car, it has been getting modified for the last 2 months. I wanted to paint the car pink...do i go pink or blue?....hmmm...Pink...hehehe
