Caroline Ellis hails from the South, is impossibly tiny, and has been involved with car culture in one way or another for most of her life.

In other words, I’m pretty much the antithesis of the audience for most automotive journalism outlets-_Road and Track_, for example, states that their readership is 94.6% percent male with a median age of 45. The only time a woman my age shows up in most automotive publications is if she’s on the cover wearing nothing but a bikini and a come-hither stare. > But, you 94.6% should realize my opinion about cars is pretty important. You see, a lot of men try to impress me and women just like me with what they drive. So, with this and future writings here at TTAC, I’m gonna break the Girl Code. We’ll look behind the door of the Ladies’ Room and let you in on the Truth About Cars according to the Women of Generation Y. > Here’s the first revelation: What you drive matters. Sorry. I’m sure you’re saving a ton of money for our first house payment by driving that rolling embarrassment from the decade in which I was born, but you’ll never get to spend it on me because you’ll never get me in the passenger seat.

Also, feel free to never call me at all. > For those of you who are actually trying, let’s look at what you think you’re saying with your car, and what you’re actually saying. > **Honda Accord/Toyota Camry/Nissan Altima** > _You think_: I’m sensible, I’m smart with my money, and I’m making a sound investment. I’d make a great family man. > _We think_: You probably also wear Dockers and think that Applebee’s would make a great first date. > **Honda Civic/Toyota Corolla** > _You think_: This is a really reliable car and… sorry, I really don’t have any idea what you’re thinking here. > _We think_: Great, you’re boring AND poor. > **Ford/Chevy/Dodge Pickup** > _You think_: I’m a manly man driving a manly truck. > _We think_: You’d better look like Blake Shelton, or I’m not interested. Also, you’d better buy me some really sexy boots I can wear with my skinny jeans so my girlfriends will think I’m being ironic when I ride in it. Don’t even think about trying to take me hunting, fishing, or camping, either. > **Chevy Corvette** > _You think_: I look sexy driving this thing. > _We think_: You’re at least ten years older than you’re telling me you are. Your ex-wife was right to tell you that you weren’t allowed to buy that thing. I’ll take some drinks from you but you’re getting a fake number at the end of the night. > **Infiniti G35/37/whatever they call it now** > _You think_: It’s just as cool as a BMW. > _We think_: No, it isn’t. > **BMW/Audi/Mercedes with the badges removed** > _You think_: Nobody knows I bought the cheapest one. > _We think_: Yes, we totally know you bought the cheapest one. Also, you better keep those badges for when you turn it back in at the end of your lease. > **Ford Mustang** > _You think_: This thing is hot. > _We think_: Yes, yes it is. It’s a shame the backseat is so small, but I’m willing to make it work. > **Porsche Boxster** > _You think_: I am total baller. Chicks think I’m rich. > _We think_: You probably just hit a midlife crisis; like my stepdad. Also, it’s amazing you still have your man card considering that you bought the Beverly Hills Trophy Wife-edition Porsche. We know it’s the cheap one, too. > **Ferrari or Lamborghini of any kind (we can’t tell them apart, either)** > _You think_: This makes my dong bigger. > _We think_: No, it doesn’t.
