What kind of "car consumer" are you?

From an article about the existance of a "cultural elite," or rather, the non-existance thereof, I've adapted their classification of culture "consumers" to car enthusiasts.

Thus, in regards to cars, would you rate yourself as a:
  • Univore: people who have an interest in specific cars only (ex.: Mustangs only).
  • Omnivore: people who have and interest in the full variety of different types of cars (ex.: Mustangs, Minis, Maseratis and Morgans alike, as a start).
  • Paucivore: people who have a limited range of cars their interested in (ex.: Ford only, domestics only, musclecars only, etc.).
  • Inactive: people who have no interest in cars at all (ex.: could'nt care less about cars, don't expect to find many here).
I am squarely an omnivore and would be as happy driving a Citroen 2CV Charleston as a '69 Boss 302 as a '71 E-Type V12 as a Honda S2000 as a...

Others?

Probably a bit of an Omnivor, thugh definately with a lean towards muscle oriented Paucivore.

Theres plenty of other cars I like, but so far I've only had Muscle Cars

omni/pauci. I don't really have a dislike for anything outside GM I just happen to love GM's more, but I'd take a Mustang GT anyday to a FWD SS GM or another just there sedan from GM. Mopars just do nothing for me. I have a list of about 12 vehicles that one day I will own, they all happen to be GM of various makes and styles.

Paucivore to be sure. I really like to pull for the big three. I have never been a brand bigot. In fact, I can't stand to be around them. Simple minded folk can fish alone as far as I am concerned.
