I drove a 2000 Honda Accord for about 15 years and in the later years I definitely did. New car, not so much l.

Not really, but Subaru owners are (especially the Outback, Crosstrek or any of the wilderness models) are a bit of a cult.

No, all their cars are shit except mine specificaly

My current car is fairly common and boring grey so no.

My previous car was and old Renault Kangoo which is even more common but was red which is not that common. I saw this exact same model and color from time to time but it’s mostly used by farmers or construction workers so not much kinship there. One time we were driving on a mountain road and exact same red Kangoo was driving the other way with a couple similar age as we inside. We all noticed started laughing.

I used to. While most of my cars have been non-descript, recently

• Subaru forester - was close enough to niche and had strong associations with camping, hiking, dogs, so I was all in. And yes, I did all three with that car. But they’ve gotten more popular - now they let anyone buy them
• then I got a Tesla. One of the few people making the choice with my money to save the world …… but apparently now I’m a Nazi right wing MAGAt, and half my country somehow doesn’t believe that EVs are or need to be a thing. I’m no longer part of the small group leading the change but just a little ahead of than those who reject change

I can’t afford a car, so no

A 2008 Silver Toyota Yaris Sedan. I sure do. It’s amazing the things still run so we’ll.

yes

(i don’t have a car)

Back when I drove a VW Kombi, we would hang out the windows to wave at other Kombi drivers. This is in Australia.

Always. I don’t make a big deal out of it but i do notice and feel connected.

I currently have a common car but it’s fun when you have an uncommon car and so have your own exclusive club!

But either way, I think it’s normal (for people who care at all about cars). Us humans are wired for connection, after all.

A little, we have something in common

The Longest Johns sang “There is no bond like drivers of the same model car” and they are right. If I ever can buy my chosen model in the future I sure will feel a bond to others that had the same idea

I did when I drove a Saab. I got it right around 2009 or so when the brand was dying off anyway. GM pretty much killed it, but the market finished it. Anyway, was always fond of them bc they’re safe and they weren’t common in the state anyway.

Now, I give a little rev for other manuals/standard trans I notice at a light as an acknowledgement they’re not alone. I usually get a little smile or nod haha. Easy to tell on flat ground and no brake lights on.

I have a default grey Camry. I lose it in the parking lot all the time and feel kinship whenever I run across someone else also looking for their generic, vanilla car.

Fuck no
