Wondering if that jar of horseradish is still good to eat? Find out at StillTasty, your ultimate shelf life guide. There's a fridge-full of other info on the site with answers to many common perishable food questions:

What Make of Car Are You?

You Are a Porsche

You make no apologies for who you are. You are ambitious, aggressive, and and a total Type A. You love to win in life, and you don't need to break the rules to do it. You are never happier than when you're competing. You are a very fun person, even though you don't have a lot of free time. When you play, you really go for it. You secretly love attention and love people being envious of you. You are proud of what hard work has netted you in life.

What Make of Car Are You?

There's so much wrong with these results, I'm not sure where to begin. In the first place, I'm certainly not a "Type A" person.  I'm also neither ambitious (pretty much the opposite) but I guess I CAN be a little aggressive at times...but not with my driving.

I have LOADS of free time - I have no life.  I also do NOT love attention and if someone is envious of me, then I pity them.

I WOULD love to own a Porsche - a Boxter Spyder, to be exact.

I went back and changed some of my answers several times, and is usually the case there is one of the multiple-choice questions that determines the car you are.  I changed from testing a car on the Autobahn to on a rural road and it said I was a Volkswagon. I didn't read the description for that, but it probably fits me better than this one...although I'd much rather own a Porsche than a VW.
