People look like their cars (and pets)

People and their pets look alike, and the same goes for their cars

I'd heard the pet claim before. Cars - I remember buying my TA from someone who looked about as much as my brother as I do. But I don't go around comparing cars and faces.

this kinda makes sense because I've only seen ugly people driving a pontiac aztek which is arguably the ugliest vehicle ever made.

What if someone has multiple cars?

Which one becomes their doppelganger?

Fair point. Maybe people tend to buy cars that are similar-looking? (But not near-identicals, from what I've observed.) The study only shows a weak correlation.

How many of you Trans Am drivers have enormous nostrils on your face?

I've seen a few whose curves extended the size of their Trans Am

Shock upgrade required.

I'm guessing it's a 60's corvette that's all beat to shit and everytime you start the car it shits all over itself and never remembers where home is?

also....another FYI.....when you're 87 years old you're no longer allowed to use the term "chicks". It's just creepy at your age.

That's the visual about the WS6 that I've never fully accepted. When I see upturned nostrils on a real human face, it's a big turn-off.

I spent a few minutes today looking at cars in the neighborhood and concluded that I don't like big grills, just as I find big mouths and large teeth on people weird.

I've long thought that Trans Ams are considered attractive by most mainly because of the curves. Almost everyone likes a shapely body. The header or whatever the very front of a vehicle is called probably doesn't matter much for TAs. Other way of saying it: not many people who like Trans Ams dislike Camaros (except maybe the new, blocky ones).
