Car colors and personality

Black cars denote an aggressive personality or someone who's an outsider or rebel.
Silver cars indicate someone who's cool, calm and slightly aloof.
Green cars can often be chosen by people with hysterical tendencies.
Yellow cars signify someone who is idealistic and novelty loving.
Blue cars are chosen by the more introspective, reflective and cautious driver.
Gray cars represent those who are calm, sober and dedicated to their work.
Red cars denote those who are full of zest, energy and drive, who think, move and talk quickly.
Pink cars are chosen by gentle, loving and affectionate drivers.
White cars represent status-seeking extrovert drivers.
Cream cars are the least likely to be involved in accidents and denote self-contained and controlled owners.
do you guys feel this is pretty accurate?

and where does Hot Chocolate fall into here?

Hmm, I've gone from introspective/reflective/cautious to becoming more so as I became more self-contained and controlled(I truly chose PW because I didn't have to pay the extra $$) to soon becoming hysterical.

Sounds as though Hot Chocolate drivers might be zesty, idealistic, novelty loving people with slightly hysterical tendencies.

I've owned (in the following order): black, red, blue, black, green, yellow, silver, blue, and grey.

And now I have a red Clubman S on order.

I guess I must be aggressive, calm, hysterical, idealistic, introspective, and full of zest, energy, and drive!

The poroblem is, shades are relevant but ignored. For example, one shade of purkle may represent royal maturity, while another circus clown. Deep black aggressions; gray-black indecision, etc.

I would suggest LB indicates poor spelling and incoherent rambling

hys·ter·i·cal play_w("H0372500") (h-str-kl)adj.1. Of, characterized by, or arising from hysteria.
2. Having or prone to having hysterics.
3. Informal Extremely funny: told a hysterical story.

I think I have a good sense of humor, but I'm certainly not hysterical- unless someone would ever touch my car, then I'd become hysterical.

I guess that makes me a fast-talking extrovert who is a bit of a rebel seeking status with my aggressive personality that makes me a bit of an outsider.

"Quesera: What about Sparkling Silver aka Champagne?"

Being a SS/B aka Champagne MCSC owner myself, I feel confident in saying it indicates a person who can crush ice with his/her teeth.

I bought a left over 07 MCS and took the color they had with the options I wanted. So It doesn't for me.

Yep!

Black cars denote an aggressive personality or someone who's an outsider or rebel.
