Do you feel a kinship with people who drive the same make/model car as you? (sh.itjust.works)

I was thinking about Jeep drivers and the whole duck thing. But what about you Kia Sportage drivers? You got a club? Is there a Secret Brotherhood of Chevy Traxers?

Lol no

I might be curious about the car itself, just to figure out how it may or may not differ from my own, based on the year it was made, but I don't give two shits about the driver. I generally don't like other people, and car brand ownership makes no difference in this equation.

Used to drive a Tank 1995 Volvo 940, and more than a few times did someone approach me to talk to a fellow "vintage Volvo enthusiast".

Now that I drive a 2019 Volvo XC90 T8, people assume that I am a Volvo enthusiast based on the fact that I've had two Volvos in a row. The truth is that I really liked the durable tank that was my old car, and I really like the comfort of my new car. They are not similar in any shape or form. They just happen to both be Volvos.

    Eh, not really. I was very close to buying a BMW X5 instead, but I couldn't find a 7 seater nearby. I don't feel enthusiasm towards the Volvo brand in general, I just happen to have had two cars that I've really liked. The logo could've said Lada for all I care.
