Have you ever given thought as to what kind of car you might be if you were a car? 
Me neither, but a friend sent this link to me and I decided to check out the quick 12-question test.

I hope you aren't a wreck!

Now when they ask are you high maintanence, are we talking health wise? Because if so I am and thus I am:
Ferrari 360 Modena

You've got it all.  Power, passion, precision, and style.  You're sensuous, exotic, and temperamental.  Sure, you're expensive and high-maintenance, but you're worth it.

Which I didn't mind driving once, but does have some quirks I don't like in a car.

Usually when someone asks if you're high maintanence, they are usually referring to women and how long it takes them to get ready and if they like expense things!

If I overwork I get too hot to perform. I'm not as speedy as I used to be. People still think I'm cute but they don't really want me. I'm always thirsty but only air cooled. I'm slow but I get there eventually.

Karol, when I read this thread title (pre-coffee this morning) I thought you had gone out and bought yourself a Mercedes!

As for me:

Chevrolet Corvette

a classic - powerful, athletic, and competitive.  You're all about winning the race and getting the job done.  While you have a practical everyday side, you get wild when anyone pushes your pedal.  You hate to lose, but you hardly ever do.

Ha Ha ha ha ha  Let's just say that I thought I had put Corvettes in my past.  (I'm thinking that I should be upgraded to an Aston Martin)

I changed one answer, that I am not high maintenance (according to paddbear :rofl;) and now I'm a Mercedes SLK!  Which reverts back to that darn high maintenance question. Mercedes is no walk in the park for maintenance cost.

I like my original answer even though it was wrong better, a Ferrari.

As far as Corvettes go, they are available overseas, just not a common car to see.
