This question is directed to the ladies...

I've driven many types of cars from older VW Beetles, mini vans, hatchbacks, sedans, trucks, SUV's....you name it. I'm curious what my current vehicle says about me to the ladies.

I drive a 96 Suburban, very well taken care of and very clean. If you saw me, a 39 year old guy driving around in a Suburban like that, what would you think it says about me as a guy?

Just curious.

I really don't judge people by what they drive.. but if I had to.. I would assume you had your head on your shoulders and were a smart, decent guy.

I would assume you have a big family.

My "chick magnet" is a status symbol. Women are begging rides from me. That wave me down. Some throw their underwear at me.

1998 Ford F-150, white, roll up windows, vinyl floor, plain black tires, 220K miles, bench seat, kids' booster seats in the back.

It's a symbol of my low status.

Generally, large suv's and mini-vans are the vehicle of choice for men and women with several kids...

Nothing in particular.

I actually like guys who drive big trucks and SUVs, as I drive a Chevrolet Equinox myself. I just don't like small cars. But that's just me.
People are always teasing me about the fact that I drive a SUV and I don't have a family, added to the fact that I'm very small (in size) just makes it the more amusing I guess when I'm behind the wheel lol.

I just love big things in general.

At first I was going to say "nothing," but this is a good point. Plus, I live in a city with narrow streets, and a huge car (with its poor gas mileage) just isn't practical.

I drive a 1997 Honda Civic with almost 200,000 miles on it. I would think you were financially responsible and know how to care for your things. Both important personal attributes.

Without looking at the other answers I'd say you were a family man, that you go camping and pull something. ( Some type of camper)
Your thrifty with your money and never overspend.
Your not into sports and your a very relaxed person.
You really don't care what others drive, you want to be comfortable in your own skin. ( car)
