I have been receiving an overwhelming amount of feedback from my friends about the psychology of cars and in particular "Audis".
This is what "Bridget" had to say:
"There are a few blogs that say: Real men drive Audis. Which is of course to say, men who feel inadequate drive the bigger names, Mercedes, BMW, Lexus. Men who drive Audis could have two reasons for choosing them. One, they appreciate the German engineering and luxury of the Audi but don't feel the need to acquire the big name. Conversely, by not acquiring the big name, they do not acquire the big payment. 'Austin HP' who drives the country cousin is a smart man. He bought the German engineering and comfort without the big price tag. You see, even though Audi salesmen deny that VW and Audi are the same company or the same manufacturer, VW salesmen claim that the Passat is the exact same thing, made on the same platform with the same engine, as the A4. Both can't be true, but they look an awful lot alike.
So, real men drive Audis. Or so they tell themselves. -Bridget"
"Bridget" also recommended this website, and I have to say... it has a pretty interesting take on the subject... http://www.bankrate.com/brm/news/auto/20021204a.asp
Dear Schnickers,
ReplyDeleteFor the record... Part II does not reflect the thoughts or beliefs of the author of this site. Any offense with the statements made in Part II should be taken up with "Bridget".
I like your current car choice. It's awfully fun to ride in!
I'm just trying to figure out what it all means! The big picture with Audis and men... you know!
Love, Jane
Dear Cooper,
ReplyDeleteIs Boston really a better climate than Minneapolis?
The burnt orange A4 was pretty, but now Schnickers drives a BMW and his ship has sailed on to a girlfriend :)
