Buying a vehicle is serious business -- but it should be fun, too. And whether we're thinking practically, extravagantly or just out to make a statement, once we've parked, we should all be absolutely unable to walk away without one final over-the-shoulder glance. Out of all the reasons we choose the object of that attention, however, our Sun signs definitely play a major role. So speaking of taking a peek, have a look at the list below -- and look up your friends, too. Bet you'll be amazed.
Aries (March 21 to April 19)
There's only one vehicle for the Ram: a sports car -- and the faster, the better. A Corvette may be your dream car, but as long as it moves -- really moves -- it will do just fine. If your budget won't accommodate your tastes, if you're attached, or if you've sworn to be uncharacteristically responsible, you'll still choose something fast and sporty. You want something that demonstrates how cool you are, regardless of how long you've been married or how many kids you have. Your favorite way to accomplish the task? Red: bright, fire-engine red.
Taurus (April 20 to May 20)
Just because you happen to have a car named after you doesn't necessarily mean you'll want it. However, the characteristics it's touted for do resemble your sturdy, practical and reliable nature. Of course, you're a veritable money magnet, so you may not be driving yourself at all. In that case, you'll be ferried about in a limo by someone with starched cuffs and an equally decorous manner. If you prefer spontaneity, a BMW, Mercedes or something of equal quality will do.
Gemini (May 21 to June 20)
Your sign is famous for its fondness for movement and total lack of patience with obstacles -- traffic, for example. Your vehicle must be fast, able to negotiate quick turns and tough enough to handle shortcuts. The kind that a lesser -- or actually, larger -- vehicle wouldn't accomplish. If you're not already tooling about on something with two wheels, warn the salesperson in advance to just forget showing you anything that doesn't strongly resemble a Camaro, a Corvette or something equally sleek yet durable.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22)
You're family-oriented and you tend to be quite sensible, especially when making large purchases. So even if you're not attached, while eyeing prospects for a four-wheeled best friend, you'll think first of what it's able to do for you -- so that you'll be able to do more for those you love. It all boils down to something similar to your symbol, the crab, that carries its home with it, 24/7. Failing the obvious -- a tricked-out Winnebago with a full kitchen and bathroom -- you'll yearn for a van, a mini-van or a pickup.
Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22)
It's no secret that the lion has always been associated with royalty, which in turn has always been associated with gold. Appropriately, any vehicle you pilot should ideally be a tasteful shade of gold. And speaking of taste, yours includes only the best of everything. While some folks might climb behind the wheel of a 20-year-old wreck that runs, you'd rather walk. While you're likely to be seen driving a respectable ride like a Mercedes, BMW or Audi, that bit of flash you so love means you'd probably prefer next year's Caddy or Lincoln -- with every possible accessory included.
Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
Most of us are tactile shoppers, which auto salespersons use to their advantage. They open the door with a flourish and invite us to have a seat. Once we're behind the wheel, that's usually that. Unfortunately, a small number of us don't -- make that won't -- indulge in that process. Take your sign, for example. You sit at your desk instead, investigating the vehicle online, considering its reliability, gas mileage, average resale value, etc. Usually, the winner is something similar to a Toyota, Saturn or Subaru. The key words are resilience, reliability and longevity. And that is that.
