WILKES-BARRE — What does your car tell your Valentine about you?

On the most romantic day of the year, AAA car-buying experts reveal what our vehicles say about our dating style.

“Once you get behind the wheel, you broadcast certain personality traits,” said Jana L. Tidwell, manager for Public and Government Affairs for AAA Mid-Atlantic. “Some are good, some aren’t. Just like a person, every vehicle has its good and bad qualities. It’s up to the car owner to showcase the good and dim the bad.”

AAA’s car-buying experts reveal what certain styles say about you:

Sporty cars: You’re in it to win it. As a fun risk taker who lives in the moment, you’ll ignore eye rolls about your $1,000 rims as you leave the scoffers in the dust.

Truck: You’re dependable and not afraid to get dirty, and you have an air of mystery about you. As the go-to person for anyone who needs to move a couch, you sometimes feel taken advantage of — but rest in the knowledge that you’ll always be needed.

Small sedan: You’re practical and economical, but you still need some pizzazz in your day-to-day life. For example, you enjoy high-end restaurants — but you are also always on the lookout for discount coupons for them.

SUVs: You’re an outdoorsy soul who enjoys the open road, tailgating and camping. Traveling light is not in your vocabulary. Cargo space is required for sports equipment, friends, family and pets. The “26.2” sticker plastered on the back bumper demonstrates your penchant for extremes.

Luxury cars: You’re either a hard worker or born lucky. As a result, you like the finer things in life and are proud to show it. Just don’t let that luxury get to you.

Hybrid/electric vehicle: You’re looking to save the planet — or at least save on gas. You’re a humble person who wants a reliable car.

Mid-size sedan: You’ve settled down a bit and are more established. To you, sacrificing a few MPGs is a good trade-off for more room, comfort and features. If you’re building a family, you are one step away from a minivan.
