Color

According to many psychologists, there’s nothing trivial about the color of your car: it’s a manifestation of your personality. Here’s a list of colors and what they say about your personality.

Black: Elegance, class, sophistication. Even though black is a classic color, it can be associated with the words elegance, class, sophistication, power and luxury.

Grey or silver: Futurist, technology-driven, practical. With this color, dirt is easier to hide. Silver reminds of stainless steel that can be found on most technological devices. This is your color if you don’t want dirt to be seen and if you want a vehicle with a more futuristic and technologic appearance.

White: Purity, simplicity, cleanliness. You’re someone who likes the simple things in life. If you chose this color, you’re someone who’s open minded ant you appreciate a modern and clean life.

Minivan: You appreciate the presence of others. You’re probably someone who has a big family and you wish to have a spacious car to fit in everything you need for when you go out with your family.

State of your car

Nothing is out of place in your car: you’re someone for whom cleanliness is important. You don’t like to be messy in your life and the same can be said about your car.

A lot of objects in your car: “Hold on, let me move things around” is what you always say to your friends and family before they get in your car.

If you have a lot of accessories in your car, you’re someone who likes to be prepared. You don’t like being caught off guard and not having what you need when you need it.

Stickers and personalized license plate: Whether it’s a sticker of your favorite team, doodles, a political sticker or a personalized license plate, every sticker or adds on to your car is an extension of your personality. Adding stickers is a way for you to express a political position or to show your support towards something. You’re someone who’s not afraid of what others think and to show your colors. The same applies to your personalized plate.
