What car is your Chinese zodiac animal? Would you get one?

[All Your Base]

Inspired by this thread, but instead of Greek zodiac, this thread is for Chinese zodiac.

Being a dragon (I was born in 2000, BTW), the best car I can find was a limited-edition Ferrari 458 with a dragon on it. Would I get one? Well, I like the Ferrari 458, so yes, I would.

I have the tiger, so Sunbeam Tiger it is

 

[lxmmy]

Year of the rat. Anything small and nimble.

 

[TB]

Year of the snake.

 

[homeforsummer]

Year of the Ox. Could interpret that as being big, strong, weighty - a performance SUV of some sort. Not so keen on that though, and since an Ox is a bull, the obvious answer is something from Lamborghini.

Though having spent a morning in an Aventador before and experienced the permanent damage the carbon seats did to my spine and therefore concluding a regular Lambo would be wasted on me (I'm not really enamoured with the classics, either), the Urus seems like a better compromise of Year of the Ox-like qualities.

 

[Heldenzeit]

Horse, so Daytona Competizione.

 

[Danoff]

Rooster.

 

[svenhjs666]

Rooster.

Me to

 

[TheCracker]

Year of the Rat: Vauxhall Corsa. Vermin.

 

[GTP_Ingram]

Year of the Hare, so probably something like this:

Year of the Hare, so probably something like this:

Ahem...

 

[LM7325]

Year of the Horse, so many possibilities for me...

 

[Robin]

Tiger - Bowler Wildcat

Being a 'Wild Cat' I presume that includes Tigers it's certainly painted like one!

So now my garage contains a Lancia Lybra and a Bowler Wildcat...

 

[FT-1]

Year of the dog:

Well that's no good. Time to look up some traits...

Dogs are loyal and honest, amiable and kind, cautious and prudent. Due to bearing a strong sense of loyalty and sincerity, Dogs will do everything for the person who they think is most important.

Sounds like a modest and dependable family hatchback (comes with a 7 year warranty)

Year of the Hare, so probably something like this:

Or a Suzuki Lapin or Volkswagen Rabbit. (Close enough, right?)

 

[Saidur_Ali]

Horse. 1991 Ferrari F40, I would get one.

 

[GTP_Ingram]

Ahem...

Or a Suzuki Lapin or Volkswagen Rabbit. (Close enough, right?)

I just discovered that this exists which, in name and concept, might be the most appropriate of all:

 

[Adamgp]

Year of the Rat.

MK IV Chevrolet big block V8s of the 60's and 70's were nicknamed "Rat Motors", so one of them will do nicely...

 

[daan]

I'll have one of these, thanks.

 

[JR98]

Year of the Tiger

A Jaguar is from the same species as a Tiger so it could be this (All other Jaguars also apply):

Or this (Panthera is the Genus of the Tiger):

 

[Sertsa]

Another horse here, so Ferrari, Mustang, eh. I don't really want either of the new ones, but I would have liked to own one of the classic Mustangs my uncle restored (but that is very unlikely now). Anyway, here's a random photo of a '67 Mustang, not one of my uncle's restorations as far as I know, but a Mustang from a happier time before becoming a meme.

 

[MisterWaffles]

I got a Dog, so umm... Doge NASCAR. Happy forced memes everyone.

 

[HuskyGT]

I'm a dog (1982), so:

Yeah, baby...

 

[LivingWithGames]

Rooster.

Hardworking, resourceful, courageous and talented...Active, amusing and talented...talkative, outspoken, frank, open, honest and loyal...good fortune..an pair well with an Ox and even a Snake...I think I got this right.

Screw it. Chevrolet Camaro SS in yellow. Just yellow as brown wouldn't do good. NOT EVEN GOLD, DON'T REMIND ME.

If I obtain that good fortune and not the dirty one, I would. I certainly would.

 

[Murcie_LP640]

Year of the Monkey...reading through it the main traits seem to be intelligence and versatility with an impetuous temper.

That sounds to me a little like a Tesla Model S. Cutting edge technology, with practicality and the ability to get a little angry when you hoof it.

I'd rock one.

 

[05XR8]

Year of the pig

or...

 

[Tyger]

I shan't be getting one of these:

...but an Ox is pretty much akin to a bull, right? So yay, I can have my favourite car evah:

 

[Danoff]

Year of the Monkey...

I got a Dog, so umm...

I'm a dog (1982), so:

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

EDIT: Nvm

 

[Grandea GTR]

Mine is..."Taurus". I'll get one, but only if it's a SHO model.

EDIT: Though, if I went by the meaning of "Taurus", which is strong-willed and determination.

Well, if I were to think of a car that's strong-willed and determined; the Volvo Amazon comes to mind.

Isn't Taurus a horoscope?
