GM vs Honda
What Your Car Says About You
First of all, I apologize for neglecting my blog. The last eight weeks have been totally hectic. Hopefully I will be able to get back into the swing of things and find some time to knock out a few blogs before I get bogged down again.

A friend sent me an interesting excerpt from Forbes magazine, as follows:

What Your Car Says About You
Zack O'Malley Greenburg, 10.06.09, 07:00 PM EDT
Education level, tech smarts and wealth are just a few traits your ride can convey.
Porsches smack of success. Hondas preach practicality. And, according to a recent report, Chevys proudly proclaim of their owners, "I don't use the Internet."

Your car implies more about your life than you might think. While 13% of Chevy owners don't use the Web, by contrast, less than 3% of Honda owners remain in the technological Stone Age. The antithesis of flashy, Honda owners are usually pragmatic and well educated; 70% boast a college degree or higher, compared with 35% of Chevy owners and 45% of Ford owners.

The data was released in the spring as part of this year's New Vehicle Experience Study by San Diego-based market research outfit Strategic Vision.


HAHAHA! Well, I thought it was funny.

On a serious note, it is interesting to note that even though GM owners are collectively the least technologically sophisticated of all car buyers, only 13% don't use the internet. If we look at it another way, that means 87% DO! It's hard to imagine that just 10 years ago barely anyone used the internet...it's great to see how far we've come along in the last 10 years..

Hey!...give him a break. You'd be pretty tired too if you had to park your car in a tree.

What are you talking about parking his car in the tree, it's clear he just threw it up there!

I always knew there was something different about who drives what kind of car.
Honda drivers are typically the ones who do things right. And no wonder why
everyone on Honda-Tech and other forums are super anal about spelling grammar and
all that fun stuff!
