We all know that a person's car choice will often reflect on their personality. How about we try to do it the other way? I'll give you a description of a person and you'll try to come up with a perfect car for them.

You may post cars that are reasonably within reach for the described person, or ones that aren't but seem like they would suit them perfectly (although I'd prefer you stick to the former choice). Also, try to stick to mass produced cars. I know that hot rods are cool, but I'd rather you keep it within reason.

Person 1:

A woman in her early 50's, 5'5", blonde hair, skinny. She's a judge and a university professor (with an actual academic title of 'professor'). She's an expert in civil and commercial law, and a big advocate for the 'common sense' interpretation of law. She's known for saying that if she ever sees one of her (former) students apply a literal interpretation of law (against its intent and common sense) she will hunt them down. She's married with no children, with her husband also earning above average. They live in the posh suburbs of a medium sized city. She doesn't know much about automobiles, and can only drive an automatic, but she likes sleek, sporty and 'cool' looking cars. She uses her car to get to work and as a general runabout/grocery getter.

Person 2:

A man in his late 50's, 5'11", balding, slightly overweight. He's a trucker with about 30 years of experience in the business. He's married with 5 adult kids who are out of his small town house by now. His wife works as a cleaning lady in a corporate office and doesn't earn much; overall, they're not wealthy people. This person has a very jaded attitute towards automobiles. Sees the appeal of a cool car, but has little patience for ones that aren't practical or are complicated to operate/mend. He's seen it all and driven it all. When choosing a car he has a very pragmatic and old school approach, refusing to pay extra for any 'gadgets' apart from power brakes and AC as he consideres them needless. He hates cars that feel tinny and not very solid, but he does have a slight fondness for domestic automobiles. While he doesn't spend much time home, he still needs a car that'll take him bowling or to the liquor store during his downtime.
