Phrenology predated psychology with the assumption that the shapesand bumps on a persons skull defined their personality. Car phrenology works in the opposite sense by analysing dents and telling you what kind of driver you are. of course these dents and crashes may not be your fault. A bit like psychology,
really.

seems to me that many people have shiny undented cars due to the fact that they are NEW, due to the fact that their previous car was totaled. a cursory examination of such a car would give the driver a completely inaccurate bill of health. |

I've often considered this - that you can tell a driver's weaknesses by the placement of the car's scrapes and dents... |

Crumpled bonnet - drives with eyes shut. |

What about rocks kicked carelessly by neighborhood kids or hit &
runs that occurred while parked? |

Or scrapes on the wings because "the gateposts on our driveway are too close together". |

I'm holding out for "retrophrenology for cars" Or even better, "retrophrenology for drivers". |
|

Could phrenology thus be called the predator of psychology? |

This would be a useful skill when buying a 2nd-hand car. |

I have a vision of a sort of Spock style (Star Trek) mind merge... with a white coated technician exploring the car's dimpled surface with long probing fingers. It's an image I quite like. |

There's always room for a bit more quackery in the world and xenzag's anno has persuaded me to croissantage. |

It's a brilliant idea.... I'm going to become its agent and start offering training courses and franchises. |
