Kinja'd!!!

The results of the Census are amazing. Thank you Scoob! This was excellent data collection and analytics that most car forums would likely never do. I never saw it looking this great. I especially like the write-in answers. Though, the results do bring up a few annotations for me!

I’m sort of intrigued by:

The lack of gender diversity/The amount of Genderfluid/Agender/Non-Binary folks here...sadly 0 trans guys though.

Nobody likes TheHondaBro :P

I wonder about:

How many people potentially called themselves another gender to be funny.

I need to know:

I took this Census back when I only had 1 smart, so other than smart svart, who else had a smart at time of the census? Or did you (Scoob) add in my second smart? Or did I take this census after getting my second smart? My mind is asploding!

Photo of my 6+ inch phone mount mod for the smart 453...just cuz.

I’m not surprised the split between manual and automatic owners was almost 50%.

I am surprised “brown” wasn’t ranked higher just from pranksters selecting it.

Wow. That is one funky fresh interior on the new Smarts. I dig it.

So if you put the front of a smart on your phone screen it would look as if you are crashing head on.

I have aged myself into a different age bracket since I’m pretty sure I took it prior to my birthday and I’m not dead yet.... pretty sure.

Why do those results intrigue/surprise you? Seems right around what would be expected, granted it is a small sample size.

Had no idea Kat was trans. I was wondering if the second response was someone being a dick.

I made some quick and dirty edits for clarification. I’m surprised by how few women are here (I shouldn’t be surprised, somehow I am). I’m also intrigued (in a positive way) by how many Non-Binary folk are here. I thought there were way less Non-Binary/Trans people here.

Second response was me :P Her and I make up the two trans girls.

I actually was wondering the opposite. I bet more non-men, statistically, took the survey just so that they could make sure they were counted. Percentage wise it’s probably even less diverse overall.

One day I want a car with an interesting interior. Even my Tercel isn’t plaid.

Out of curiosity, how many people responded to the poll?

Such is definitely true, there are way more users than actually voted, most are guys.

I love it so much I’m paranoid about getting it dirty. So much that I don’t wear shoes to drive it. lol

It’s so hard to keep it clean. Like literally sneezing can stain it. But, I’d still say worth it!

I was actually expecting alot more responses for non-binary in the gender field because of people trying to be funny. I wouldn’t be surprised if the numbers are actually pretty close to reality.

When I was 16-17, before I got my license, I hitchhiked a lot to get to places (rural area of Bavaria). I always wondered when the first person would be like “Hop in but take your shoes off, first!” Never happened, but that’s probably because people this keen on keeping their car spotless may tend to be less likely to pick strays.

Currently grinding my gears is the fact that almost all cars (or at least almost all E61s) with tan leather interiours have tan carpets as well. I know that one day one of my friends would get in with muddy shoes or spill coffee or something, and I would just yell at them without them understanding why.

Miss Tesla thinks I have a serious problem. By time I met her, Tucker already had taken some hits, so I was more willing for her to put her feet on the dash or eat in the car...but now that I have a “second chance” I’m doing all I can to prevent unnecessary wear. No resting your feet anywhere but the footwell! No playing around with the vents (she likes fiddling with stuff), no eating!

I like the way that dash looks but it almost looks like there is a large possibility for longevity issues.
