it's all been a bit serious on here today so try this...... my results tell me to go and buy a corsa ! lol

http://cartalk.cars.com/Survey/Results/Psychographics/

Marvellous...this is the summary of my results :

 

"When compared to other people who drive a Nissan 300ZX, you're a bit too young to be driving this vehicle, you care a bit too much about your car compared to other Nissan 300ZX owners, you're a little too much of a risk-taker, you're more generous than other owners, you are a little too much of a snob, and you're a bit too 'touchy-feely'"

 

But the bit I liked was :

 

"You certainly are a bit of a nut case, aren't you, when it comes to taking chances (well, at least compared to other Nissan 300ZX owners)"

 

and these were my recommended car choices :

 

1. Honda Passport

2. BMW 325i

3. Nissan 240SX

4. Volvo 760

5. BMW 528

 

 

So all you staid people who don't care about your 300ZXs and obviously never drive over the speed limits with them, all I can say is .... MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH!!!

 

 

This has been a party political broadcast by the Ajay Party.

 

Better exchange it for a 760 then ?

 

i was informed that the car i drive bmw 325i (bmw 325i cab. in reality, but close enough) was totally unsuitable.

 

and the most suitable car?

bmw 328i. magic. i'm already thinking about changing. ;o)

This is what I got.

 

Boy oh boy, Stuart, you picked a vehicle which is just about perfect for you. Congratulations! For example, when compared to other people who own a Nissan 300ZX, you're just about the same in terms of how much you really care about your car, your educational level, and your income.

 

Other sugestions

 

1. Chevrolet Camaro

2. AMC Jeep

3. Ford Mustang

4. Mercury Cougar

5. Pontiac Firebird

 

Hehehehe

Damn, scarily close to Ajay's results here;

 

"When compared to other people who drive a Nissan 300ZX, you're a bit too young to be driving this vehicle, you care a bit too much about your car compared to other Nissan 300ZX owners, your educational level is a bit lower than that of other Nissan 300ZX owners, you're a little too much of a risk-taker, you're, well--to be generous--a bit too frugal, you are a little too much of a snob, and you are much more objective and logical"

 

Apparently I should be driving a Camaro, AMC Jeep (always wanted one of those!), Buick Roadmaster, Mustang (mmm, yes please), or a Chevvy El Camino...

 

And yes.. I got the "You certainly are a bit of a nut case, aren't you, when it comes to taking chances" too

 

Seems I'm in good company.. Lol

Word for word - so now you know more about me than I do !!! lol

 

Comparing You to Other Nissan 300ZX Owners

 

Boy oh boy, Andy, you picked a vehicle that just isn't quite right for you, although you're reasonably compatible in terms of your age, how much you really care about your car, the extent to which you're a cheapskate, and your grasp of reality.

 

When compared to other people who drive a Nissan 300ZX, your educational level is a bit lower than that of other Nissan 300ZX owners, you make way too much money to be driving a Nissan 300ZX, you're a little too much of a risk-taker, and you are a little too much of a snob

 

For your further edification, here's a little further elucidation on these personality characteristics.

 

You certainly are a bit of a nut case, aren't you, when it comes to taking chances (well, at least compared to other Nissan 300ZX owners). Calm down. CALM DOWN! It's not the end of the world, for heaven's sake. And nobody is asking you to change anything about who you are. We'd never do that. Go ahead. Jump off a cliff if that's what makes you happy. But, if this is really what you are, you're gonna have to change vehicles.

 

Gee, this is interesting. Car-O-Scope has determined that you are a person who is quite concerned with status. And yet, you're driving a Nissan 300ZX. Other Nissan 300ZX drivers just aren't as much of a snob as you are. We're going to have to do something about this, now aren't we?

 

Car-O-Scope Makes Suggestions for More Compatible Vehicles

 

Have no fear, Car-O-Scope is here to save you from a life of misery, depression and hemorrhoidal flare-ups. Through a secret and proprietary process (patent pending) the official car-o-scope has determined that your psychographic and demographic profile is far more compatible with the following vehicles: some of these suggestions might surprise you. But try to keep an open mind. It's quite possible that the car-o-scope has discovered some hidden and/or repressed aspects of your personality.

 

1. Oldsmobile Cutlass

2. Buick Roadmaster

3. BMW 2002

4. Buick Estate Wagon

5. Volvo 244

 

 

So, let's look at your compatibility profile vis-a-vis the BMW 2002. If you dumped that Nissan 300ZX and got yourself a BMW 2002, you'd be a lot happier.

 

For example, you'd be almost perfectly compatible in terms of your gender, your age, how much you really care about your car, your tolerance for taking risks, the extent to which you're a cheapskate, and your grasp of reality.

 

In addition, you'd have pretty good compatibility in terms of status consciousness.

 

Here's a little info on these personality characteristics. Read 'em and weep.

 

Auto involvement: how much you really care about your car

 

As you certainly know, some people don't care what they drive; a car is just a way to get from here to there and back. (Unless you're driving a sled, like Tommy. Every time he gets home, he throws his hands in the air and yells, "I made it!" But I digress.)

 

For other people, a car is everything. You know the type; if you refer to their "significant other," they say, "You mean my BMW?"

 

Your score for auto involvement is just about the same as other BMW 2002 drivers'.

 

Risk-taking: your tolerance for taking chances

 

Some people are complete wackos when it comes to taking risks. I have a friend (who shall remain nameless), and when Tony goes on vacation, he immediately starts looking for the bungee-jumping sites. A nut case of the first order.

 

On the other hand, some of us are complete wusses. (Is this how you spell woosses? I'm not sure, but I'm afraid to look it up. Oh, my God, I might be wrong. Oh, my God!) You're compatible on this score.

 

Cheapness: your degree of--ahem--shall we say "frugality"?

 

Your score on the cheapness scale puts you pretty close to the average for BMW 2002 drivers. Of course, utter and complete cheapness can be an asset (right!) People who believe this call it "frugality." But they're really just hopeless cheapskates.

 

Like myself, though, some folks are quite magnanimous. The milk of human kindness oozes from their pores. "Generous to a fault," one might say. Mightn't one? (Of course, one might also say, "Too stupid to know any better." Think whatever makes you feel good.)

 

Reality check:

 

You have a pretty good sense of what's real and what ain't. You aren't one of those "head in the clouds" types--like some people I know. On the other hand, there are worse places your head could be--I guess.

 

But don't delay! Your health, happiness and general well being are at stake here. Don't drive that Nissan 300ZX for another day.

 

It has been an honor and a privilege for Car-O-Scope to serve you in this very important decision.

 

And, don't drive like my brother.

 

 

i was suggested the Oldsmobile Cutlass as one of the more suitabe cars too.

 

i'm destroyed. ;o(

 

it looks like a hyundai - and their 'feature car' is 'O.A.P. Beige'....mmmmmmm, ohhhkkay.

LMAO! Funny that mate, coz that's pretty much exactly how mine came out.

 

My cars were slightly different though, I had a Ford Mustang highlighted for me for some reason.

 

I started to read it and could just think along the lines of Graham Taylor in the BT ad. saying "Do I hate orange!" in ref. to me not being suited to Z ownership...not wrong!

 

Well I'm about right for me car You lot are all pretenders And I always said I didn't get paid enough.......

 

Comparing You to Other Nissan 300ZX Owners

Boy oh boy, Andy, you picked a vehicle which is just about perfect for you. Congratulations! For example, when compared to other people who own a Nissan 300ZX, you're just about the same in terms of how much you really care about your car, your educational level, and status consciousness.

 

But there are some psychographic and/or demographic measures on which you differ from other Nissan 300ZX owners. For example, you're a bit too young to be driving this vehicle, and other Nissan 300ZX owners make more money than you.

 

Car-O-Scope Makes Suggestions for More Compatible Vehicles

Despite the fact that your personality profile pretty much matches that of Nissan 300ZX owners, Car-O-Scope would like to suggest some alternative vehicles--should you be thinking of making a change.

 

Note: some of these suggestions might surprise you. But try to keep an open mind. It's quite possible that the car-o-scope has discovered some hidden and/or repressed aspects of your personality.

 

1. AMC Jeep

2. BMW 528

3. Mercedes Benz 190

4. Eagle Talon

5. BMW 328i

 

 

So, let's look at your compatibility profile vis-a-vis the BMW 528. If you dumped that Nissan 300ZX and got yourself a BMW 528, you'd be a lot happier.

 

For example, you'd be almost perfectly compatible in terms of how much you really care about your car, your educational level, your tolerance for taking risks, status consciousness, and your grasp of reality.

 

In addition, you'd have pretty good compatibility in terms of your gender, your age, and the extent to which you're a cheapskate.

Status consciousness:

 

I know a few people who will go to any lengths to impress others. ("Oh, yes, I went to Haahvaad.) I love them, don't you? Neither do I. The kind of people I like to have coffee with are "jamokes." Are you familiar with this term? No? Well, I guess you didn't go to Haahvaad, now, did you?

 

Reality check:

 

You have a pretty good sense of what's real and what ain't. You aren't one of those "head in the clouds" types--like some people I know. On the other hand, there are worse places your head could be--I guess.

 

CheerZ,
