...those who name and/or 'decorate' their car, and normal people?

And what about the people who have no car? Or are they included in the "normal" category?!

Thomyorke · 01/07/2014 19:10

I bought a second hand car that came with a name, which group do I belong to? It had good mileage don't give a dam about the name.

Snapespeare · 01/07/2014 19:11

There is a sub category of people who give their car eyelashes.

cariad34 · 01/07/2014 19:12

I have a campervan. It's practically law that campervans have names. Where does that leave me?? Grin

GirlWithTheLionHeart · 01/07/2014 19:12

I love those car eyelashes and secretly want them

CateBlanket · 01/07/2014 19:12

and those whose cars are "powered by fairy dust" apparently!

IAmTheGodOfTitsAndWine · 01/07/2014 19:15

I have no car and don't drive, but can still see where I'd fit into this if I did. Use your imagination. If you're the type of person who names household appliances like me then you'll likely name your car too...

My car is just a car, it has no emotional attachment to me at all. My daughter however has named her car Josie and talks about it like it's a real person. Very odd Grin

TillyTellTale · 01/07/2014 19:20

Wrong. There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those that understand binary and those that don’t.

I would like a "powered by an exothermic reaction" sticker for a car.

CrohnicallyExhausted · 01/07/2014 19:21

Oh tilly I was just coming on to post that.

TillyTellTale · 01/07/2014 19:22

Grin I love that joke.

Thomyorke · 01/07/2014 19:22

My car is named Percy and is written above the wheel arch, a re spray would be more expensive than the car.

pluCaChange · 01/07/2014 19:24

I finf those fake eyelashes very distracting as I'm driving.

Good Lord, does that make me a stereotypical 1950s man?!

HappyAgainOneDay · 01/07/2014 19:24

I have an undecorated car and it has no name. I'd call a cat Tiddles though if I had one. Which category would I be in? Please?

CarmineRose1978 · 01/07/2014 19:28

I don't decorate my cars at all, but I do name them. Usually something linked to their registration. But I don't refer to them by their name to other people.

(I only use their name when I'm encouraging them to overtake up a big hill or praising them when they've swerved safely to avoid another car or similar Blush)

ParsingFlatly · 01/07/2014 19:28

Do you think the people with the "powered by fairy dust" stickers buy bacon labelled "donated by happy pigs still running around in the sunshine"?

Hang on, I bet there's an actual marketing idea in that!

DiseasesOfTheSheep · 01/07/2014 19:32

My car is called Fantastic Mr Fox and he is decorated elaborately with mud and rust.

What's your point? Grin

Trills · 01/07/2014 19:34

If you have no car, you can still be someone who would decorate a car if they had one.

karatekimmi · 01/07/2014 19:40

I name my car, but am horrified at people who decorate them. Which category am I in?

TeenAndTween · 01/07/2014 19:44

Tilly Grin
I also just came on here to write that but you beat me to it!

DefiniteMaybe · 01/07/2014 19:48

No no no there are 3 kinds of people in the world, those that can count, and those that can't.

TillyTellTale · 01/07/2014 19:51

Binary high-101. Grin

NoArmaniNoPunani · 01/07/2014 19:56

Bernard and I would beg to differ

SignYourName · 01/07/2014 20:03

Tilly I love "binary high-101". Grin Am so going to use that to one of the data support people at work.

It's a big lump of metal! It hasn't got a personality.
