Like everybody else, my car-o-scope results were unusual.
Some background - I currently drive a 98 Integra Type R. Other cars I have
owned previously have been an 89 Pontiac Lemans and a 95 Integra LS. All
my cars have been fun & practical 2 door hatchbacks.
This is what the car-o-scope had to say ...
"When compared to other people who drive a Acura Integra, you care a bit
too much about your car compared to other Acura Integra owners, you're just
too educated to be driving a Acura Integra, you're a little too much of a
risk-taker, you're more generous than other owners, and you are much more
objective and logical"
It then goes on to suggest these cars as alternatives
1. AMC Jeep
2. BMW 528
3. Mitsubishi Eclipse
4. Toyota 4x4
5. Chevrolet Camaro
They don't think I should be in an Integra. They are so wrong. Apart from
the Eclipse (would have to be a 98 or older) and maybe the Camaro, I don't
see myself in any of the other cars. I am not even sure what an AMC Jeep
is.
And then their opinion seems to be that the average Integra owner doesn't
care about their car, doesn't have a whole lot of education, don't take
chances, aren't very generous etc. Interesting.
Like somebody else said, it is scary to think that some people might
actually take this information seriously and buy cars based on their
recommendations.
