I couldn't vote.
Being only 4'11" and 135lbs when I'm my heaviest, I don't think I quite fit in the big tough look of my Bronco. But my leopard print seat covers and car mats do!
But I still love my truck, and it is not just transportation.

I look upon a car/truck first as transportation. That said, I am a fanatic (my girl friend would say ****) about my vehicles. I can't stand to drive a dirty vehicle (hence wash them about 2-3 times weekly when the weather permits). I am also fanatic about period maintenance. - religious about oil and lube, tires, brakes, etc. I also like to dress up the interior - really like leather and am currently searching for leather seats for my Ranger. So does that mean I am what I drive?

Yes.

. . . just kidding.

But I really like this, johare:

"May the hinges of our friendship never grow rusty."

Good choice. FWIW.

i am what i drive

my truck definitely describes who i am and what i like. its usually muddy so that shows i like to have fun, its a truck so that means im a good, hard worker. and my rear window shows more of who i am and what i like.

i think pretty much everyones vehicle tells atleast something about the owner and their lifestyle.

(Other Bower here)
I drive what I am.
I personalize every vehicle I own so the car doesn't make me, I make the car. It has to have some of my personality in it.
(This means that my car hates to get up in the morning, has monthly stubborn spells, and has to be reminded to slow down on ooccasion.)
If my cars defined me, people wouldn't get a very good impression judging me on the vehicle, except with the Bronco.

I can't afford to define myself properly.

fishman, I am so glad you didn't elaborate on the "welded rear" part.
