The way I look at it, you arent the car make you are the cars style. So dirty and rough, clean and tidy, oldskool, newskool, showcar, high performance, hotrod, etc etc. Your car can describe your personality but if you have a few and they all different then you simply have a few tastes.

An example, my brother is a rough c-nt and he has ALWAYS owned rough and shit cars.only so he doesnt have to look after it (onces its dead or costing to much to repair or he cant repair it himself he gets rid of it and gets another shitter). He vows to never buy new.

Agreed. There is some truth to it - but not much.

ok, so there is truth in how you 'keep your car'. And I am comparing it with personal cleanliness here, also the owners of older beaten up people movers just reek of "I don't give a shi*t"

We have an old people mover and an older ute. They are always kept clean and tidy inside, as I can't stand smelly cars littered with rubbish. I give them a wash when they get dirty, which would be every month or so. That's just me though, and I don't think anything less of people who have dirtier cars (and I see plenty of them), and I don't think more highly of people who have cleaner cars. Some people just lack time and some are just plain lazy. As for "you are your car".that's a load of nonsense. A Commodore sedan can't carry 6 people, nor it can carry hay bales (technically speaking). Also, I don't often get to choose what car I buy, I sometimes take a gamble and buy cars off our clients that needs major repairs as they can't afford to fix them. So it could be a small car, a van, big station wagon etc.

Ditto.
We have an 1989 L300 Van, 2001 Corolla, 1996 Accord, 1992 Bighorn, and a 1982 Mercedes 380.
The only one we love and care for is the Merc.
So maybe we're Nazis'.
