Growing up, did your family always own at least 1 car from the same manufacturer? If yes, what kind? (i.e. We always had 1 Volkswagen in the drive way)
Do your think that you value the same things in a car as your father? Mother?
If yes, name 3 things that both your cars and your parents cars have in common:

If I had about 4 1/2 years to spare I would answer all your questions. Come to U.S. buy a Scion, drive it home to Canada or wherever you said you are from. I love mine, and most people who have them do too, the end!
P.S. Do Canadians really have those floppy top heads like on South Park?
