eh....it depends

Democrats split into 2 groups....

Timid, treehugger, non-partying types......Volunteer at the shelter every week.......Never cuss....Sometimes teach Sunday School.......Those people drive slow as molasses.......Often rusted 1970's Volvos if they're poor, or a mid 90's Corolla/Camry if they're middle-class. They eschew material possessions, so if they ever buy a new car, it has to be something "non-showy" like a Honda Fit or Element. A few of them buy a New Beetle because they like its happy-go-lucky, non-aggressive image.

The other group of Democrats is the "progressive/trendy/I would never vote Republican because I'm too cool for that"..........Those people do buy alot of material goods (ipads, chrome rims, etc), and do drive fast.........They tend to drive Acuras, Infinitis, Audis, Mazdas, and VWs. They attended the 99% marches because they thought it was cool to "rebel" against the same system that supplies them with all those cool gadgets.

Likewise, Republicans split into 2 groups as well.....

Guys who are into Republicans for the "macho" reasons......."I can't associate myself with a ghey/unpatriotic party like the Democrats"..........Those people usually drive fast. Their cars of choice are Camaros, Mustangs, pickups........and motorcycles. They are also usually into guns and martial arts.

Then you have people who are Republican only for its fiscally conservative philosophy. A lot of them are up there in age, so they tend to drive a little bit slow.... but still way faster than the first group of Democrats I mentioned. These people drive a very wide mixture of vehicles, as their personality has not been polarized by any misguided social viewpoints like the other 3 groups have.

I call bullshit. You missed a whole section of the first group who desperately crave material possessions for the self actualizing message those possessions are supposed to say about the buyer. This group also has a ton of iShit, but where vehicles are concerned they buy hybrids, plug in hybrids, or electrics exclusively. See the thread about the electric scooter for an example.

Nah, self-actualization/grandization = the second group. They care what others think of them, including their supposed concern for the environment. They represent most Prius owners. Someone could give them a good argument that the Prius isn't actually good for the environment, and they'd still buy it, just to "belong" to the green movement.

In contrast, the first group doesn't care whether other people are aware of their good deeds, or about belonging to some trend.

Also, the second group always makes sure they're stylish and trendy with their clothes and hair. In contrast, the first group buys most of their clothes at Goodwill. If they ever buy new clothes, it's from a fuddy-duddy, ultra-conservative brand like Lands End.
