Hummer

More than any other automobile, the Hummer H1 makes a statement for its owner: "I am macho. Really, I am. Just look at my big rig." Maybe that's because when the H1 was first released, it was a favorite of actor-turned-politician and all-around he-man Arnold Schwarzenegger, who played an unstoppable homicidal cyborg in the movie "Terminator." But these drivers are "Terminator wannabes, not Terminators," McManus says. And because the Hummer is so oversized, it's not practical for most drivers. "In fact, they are the least utilitarian sport-utility vehicle out there," McManus says. Unless you are cruising through a combat zone or climbing a mountain, you look like you are compensating for something.

What does a sub-compact say, especially if the driver is a 6-footer?

Toyota Corolla

"These are what I call A to B people," McManus says of Corolla owners. By this he means they are drivers who consider cars solely as a means of getting from point A to point B and never as a source of fun. "They're the minimalists, and don't want anything they think is ostentatious," he adds, noting that his grandfather, who once refused to pay for a car unless the dealer removed the air-conditioning system — in Louisiana, no less — was one. "They're also very frugal," he says.

When I have money, I get rid of it quickly, lest it find a way into my heart.

It is only Africans in countries run by pumkin head presidents that think A Mercedes Benz is superior to a Beamer (BMW).

BMW 3-Series

In an era when we define ourselves by the type of personal computer we use — we're either a Mac or a PC — those who own a 3-Series are Macs. Like an Apple, the BMW has style, a cultlike following and stellar performance. "They make you feel like you're smart and with it," McManus says. "It's a very well-executed vehicle." By that reasoning, we'd have to consider the owner to be a smart, considerate, yet style-conscious individual.

What model is it?

Haven't you listened to a Range Rover sport breathing even when stationary. You would not doubt it is alive and kicking.
