Cars are aspirational and do, to a certain extent, show which 'tribe' you belong to. You can make an equally valid connection to your tribe by driving a T5 (VW, not Volvo), a tiny Aygo or whatever else; can be you love polar bears, don't car about cars or are 'urban chic' and want to fun yourself.
You can make massive judgements about people based on their cars and I think I'm frequently correct.
All the people posting their cars clearly want to be judged as they feel they've made good decisions and like what it says about them.
DH drives a BMW X6
Wishes he had a Range Rover. Doesn't mind abysmal handling or performance as the badge is much more important.
I drive a Renault Cleo Sport.
Fun. Clinging on to your youth. Be happier with an Audi A1 S Line.
I don't give a toss about cars, I'll happily drive an old banger if It's reliable
which they aren't
but, because of some things I do for work I sort of have to have a car that looks presentable. What tribe am I in with a black middle aged sports car?
middle aged car = 7 years old? A Z3? Fun! 350Z? Awesome! However, an older sportscar as a daily driver makes you look foolish when you pull up in pouring rain for a business appointment with it's tiny boot, step up out of it, heave-hoing on the steering wheel. Not sure it's making the impression you want.
Cayenne driver here no tribe membership
Should have gone to Specsavers. Lovely places to sit though. Sound as good as any Porsche at high revs. Lovely.
What tribe am I in? I drive a new Zafira and an old Skoda estate
Waiting for the GR to come knocking. You've given up on life.
I have a vw tiguan. My husband has a volvo v50
Accountants? Did you get both cars in beige?
Hate to think what tribe I'm in, I have a 13 seater clapped out minibus covered in flowers 😁. I long for my classics mini days!.
I think you know what tribe you're in!
^Ooh, DH drives a Mini Countryman, I drive a thoroughly knackered Toyota Yaris.
What's our tribe?^
Knackered cars have their place. Pile people and things in and don't worry about it. As to your husband, just one question. Why? Okay two questions, why and do you not feel ridiculous every time you drive it?
In my last address our neighbour asked if he could park his Aston Martin in our garage because it wasn't good to leave it out in the snow...My current neighbours have Mercs and a Tesla. My knackered Prius is missing a hub cap after I crunched it in the petrol station blush
Inverse snobbery and terrible attempt at stealth boasting.
My evoque is great
No it isn't.
BMW M135i
nods approvingly / jealously :)
Do me now. Do me. Do me.
We have a pick up truck (a 4 door, proper 4x4, with winch, M/T tyres etc). It's wonderful. Bikes in the back. Muddy wellies etc without caring. We've towed Discoverys, Freelanders and other very capable 4x4s out when they've been stuck. Importantly, it's a very safe place to be and remarkably civilised inside. All of us love it. We have an M6 Gran Coupe. Again we love it but the pick up is the car most used.
@OP - If you don't want the Disco then it's a lot of money to spend when it only pleases one person. Give it a test drive with an open mind and you might like it though. They are mechanically sound and very comfortable. High driving positions are addictive and it's hard to argue against their practicality. The low-down grunt of big diesel engines is great for driving on motorways and dual carriageways. Small rear windows are easily over-come with reversing cams.
