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..
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!
