If You Were A Car What One Would You Be & Why?

I would be a Volkswagen Herbie car, the old type as they are a bit back to front in their way of doing things but are reliable and trustworthy cars with a lot of character. May be not the fastest in the world but always greet with a smile because of the way the bonnet seals. Now what car would you be and why? Ellie :D

I seem to be taking one step forwards and two back at the moment, so if that translated into a car it would not be a very useful one!!

Hi GreenMoo, well that didn't work eh, I don't go in bumper cars either so lets see, a coupe (coop) of some sort as you enjoy looking after your chickens or Lightening McQueen from Cars and then even though he had a little bit of a rough time he won through in the end eh! Hope you start making more forward steps. Huggles. Ellie :D

Hi Tamara oh I love the Herbie films too. I remember seeing LoveBug at the pictures as a child and from that moment on I loved Herbie and then he fell in love and then to Monte Carlo, what a great car eh! Mini Cooperess. Yes that would be a very easy car for you to decide to be if your maiden name was Cooper. Thank you for sharing. Huggles. Ellie :D

A Bentley R series coupe from 1952. Sleek lines with an aristocratic face. Big Boot though. I'm not so sure about that aspect. I've always felt that my "boot" was one of my best features. People always seem to appreciate me walking away from then anyway. LOL.

She can scrub me, but not my Bentley Ellie! Don't want scratch marks on the bodywork. At least Herbie will fit in the garage and won't cost millions to fill.

If I were a car I would most likely be a smart Fortwo as I'm tiny and not very fast, lol! But I'm very handy to have around and can make my way true the city. I'm not a very popular car but I am popular around my friends and people who can appreciate my beauty and skill. I won't take in just anyone but provide comfort to the few people who know me inside out .

Interior view of the Maybach Mercedes - Now who wouldn't want this kind of luxury??
My tastes run rather rich and elegant both in the kind of car I would love to have personally and the kind of car I'd like to be.....hehe...I love vintage Jaguar XLS cars...with jaguar hood ornament and all..the newer models don't have it unless you request it special...I guess since I'm an obvious kitty nut, wanting to be a Jaguar then makes sense..LOL for a REAL luxury car and to "show" off my "elegance" (LOL) I'd love to be the luxury car the Maybach Mercedes... It has a sunroof, DVD monitor...there's that storage area under the DVD monitor to store champagne.... I have a picture of it here. The cost of the car? A mere pittance of ONLY $385,000..hehe

Hi I think both choices here are excellent, I have had a couple of Jaguars myself in the past nothing grand though and one I sold whilst my ex-husband was at work one day and ordered new carpet for the house with it. He couldn't be angry because it was mine to sell but I thought I'd order what I wanted before he got from from work and decided to put the money towards another use like something for him! LOL. I think I could buy a house with the money your Mercedes is though, what a luxurious interior, very plush. Ellie :D

Hi ellie! Well, I only have one car in mind. A Nissan Skyline GT-R R34! With 900+ horsepowers under the hood. Well, I'm a speed freak so to speak and I just can't get enough of it. I like luxury cars but I prefer more sporty and sleek looking cars. It has been one of the best production cars ever built but greatly took the interest of a lot of racing enthusiasts as it has a lot of potential. Imagine a grand touring car with the usual 200+ horsepowers that can accelerate quickly compared to others. Modify it heavily and it would be an instant monster on the track. I always get carried away talking about it. It's my dream car. Too bad, it doesn't come along easy. I've only seen 2 here in our country. Who knows? The 3rd one that I'll would be mine. Or in this case, me! Take care!

Really!? A skyline. Sorry for overreacting. But a skyline!? waaa.. I really really want one. You're correct though. I really haven't tried to sit on an actual skyline. Although when I play driving games, I always look for a skyline. If I get to sit in one, I'd have to ask the owner (better if I own it. ) since I'll most probably rev it out to it's maximum on a clear road. The fastest I've seen was on youtube in Japan. 200 miles/hr. It was spectacular. Well, I'd like to see it though. Your ex-husband's skyline. Oh yeah, and a corvette. That's nice. I really like how the corvette looks especially the long hoods. It's like it's saying there's more to it under the hood. take care!

Hi Yes he really has a skyline and I have been in it as we are still friendly sometimes LOL. When we used to live in the same town I could here him leave his house on the way to mine and say to my daughter your dad will be here in a minute to pick you up love you better get your bits ready. Not good for short journeys though as it takes so long to get the tires warmed. Ellie :D

Hi Zeroflash, You would like to meet my ex-husband then as he owns one and a corvette acquired when he hit midlife along with a young girl, men honestly LOL. It is a lovely car I agree. You weren't one it the test drive I notice, I was a corvette funnily enough, not the Herbie car I said I was eh! Ellie :D

I like mercedes because of its perfection. The creator of mercedes has said that "If you want to make something,make it better.Otherwise do not make it". I try to inculcate this by looking at mercedes.

I would be a jaguar - just because I really like the bonnet ornament! I'm not a car person normally, and don't hanker after anything in particular - in fact, if I had the nerve to ride one, I'd love one of those Vespa scooters!

Hi Guybrush, I would get a bigger bike, scooters have small wheels making them harder to handle, but only my opinion, they do like like fun. A bike does give a certain amount of freedom though. I love the Jaguar in the bonnet too. Good choice. Ellie :D

I've had a few scares in my time but the funniest one was when I hit diesel in the wet and the bike went from under me an kind lady wouldn't let me move and I was laying in a puddle,I knew I was okay but she was saying don't take your helmet off etc bless well by the time the ambulance arrived my legs were numb with the cold of the puddle and I had hurt my knee and jeans were soaking well the ambulance men needed to take them off to check my legs and my knickers came down with them too at the exact moment a policeman opened the ambulance door so I flashed at all the concerned onlookers, boy was I embarrassed Luckily I was okay but have lost many friends or they have been badly injured so I don't ride myself now I have the responsibilty of the children. I have just finished watching the Moto GP though. Ellie :D

Hi Ellie! I did have a motorbike when I was about 18 ... but an accident put me off for life. Not serious, but a wake-up call. These days, I even feel vulnerable on a bicycle, so I'm not likely to ever try anything motorised (I'm actually pretty crap in a car, too!) It's just that Vespas look SOOO much fun - and it must be that Italian thing kicking in ...

I think i would be a Dacia Solenza (The Dacia Solenza is small hatchback produced by Dacia of Romania from 2003 to 2005.) because it's a car that does not need much cash to be cared for, and can stand for lots of mistakes, but overall it's a good car if you want it for driving safe and sound.
