Just for fun, what Dog breed do you think your vehicle resembles and why?

As I was getting out of my vehicle today. A Honda parked next to me and locked the door. The horn made its high pitched electronic sound (kind of like someone sneezing through a kazoo) and I thought "That is why I don't like those things, they remind me of one of those little yappy dogs like a terrier"

This made my think for no reason at all. "So what dog is my truck?" I like Mastiffs bit it does not fit. The truck is big but not lethargic, slow and dumb. It is actually fast (5.9 0-60) and has a lot of technology. SO I think it is like a Great Dane. Big, nimble and high strung. Not the smartest out there, but not a dumb dumb dog like a mastiff. Stubborn and reluctant to do what you want it to do - more prone to do whatever it wants. (this because my remote start never works when I push the button, but then the thing i in my pocket or even in my hand, the truck starts repeatedly. I once cam out of a restaurant to find it running and nearly 1/4 tank of gas gone.

So what do you equate your car to?

(PS "This is a sstupid thread" is not an acceptable answer. If you think so, you should not be reading it)

Well, I have two vehicles:

A slow, reliable, poorly-handling/braking, all-terrain, tough 4Runner.

and

A fast, pretty, technology-filled, twin turbo convertible Mercedes.

So maybe a sled dog of some sort...and some sort of sight hound.

My beagle rides with me sometimes in my truck, but he wont ride with anybody else in anything else. So I have to say my truck is like my beagle - Loud!!

A working stock dog rides around in my pickup and he is just like that truck: bred to work, tough, stubborn, when the going gets tough, the tough get going.

I have to confess, he rides around on a pillow on the back seat, but he is capable of riding, standing in the back, with the wind in his teeth.

My pickup is black exterior, with tan seats, and that is the color of my German shepherd.
Great match.

Bob.

I drive a half-ton GMC crew cab truck.


I'll say it's a lab.


Slightly more than mid-sized, not fancy, very reliable, willing to work/play in any conditions, likes getting muddy, not fast but it'll get there in reasonable time, not nimble but can handle its own, not in your face but adequate protection if it encounters a situation.
