Car name and Driving habits..

Caught in heavy traffic today.. Got me thinking about car names and driving habits.. I wonder if they are linked..

I got caught behind an idiot drivinga "Rexton".. I mean, who actually goes out and buys a "Rexton" ?

Then theer was a lady in a "Swift" - She was anything but !

So what do you think ? Does my theory hold water ??

Pink Hummer? And Pink Kia and Pink BMW ... hmm... is this a trend?

And as with everything pink - I was in Jarir a few weeks back and found a webcam, mouse and USB port at a reasonable price BUT they were ALL in pink! I actually dislike pink. When I asked the store assistant, he said they have other colours, it's all there.. but I checked every bit of that display and they were ALL in pink. Golly wolly!

/In a place where the bachelors outnumber bachelorettes, the manufacturers didn't think very far, did they?

//Well, maybe with britexpat's encouragement and changing perceptions that pink is the colour of the alpha male, things might look up for the pink battalion.

A white hummer looks just like my freezer.

A pink hummer looks just like my freezer, painted pink.

My choice for a car would be:

1. White Landcruiser.

2. Silver Mercedes S Series

3. Black BMW 7 Series

4. Blue Porsche Cayman S

5. Red Ferrari

6. Green or Purple Lamborghini

I'd keep them all ina garage, and drive the LC all day.

Britexpat, the Rexton is a Ssangyoung and they are now in big trouble- they are in bankruptcy negotiations in South Korea and are currently not producing much. Ssangyoung is owned by a Chinese Car Manufacturer. Maybe the names they got has something to do with it :)
