Later, Gwen caught Dennis behind the men's dorm and beat him up for looking
at her car.  "Like I said," she told him, "I believe in getting the job
done. And if I ever catch you around my car again you'll get double what you
just got!"

Dennis Slice, a Florida State University associate professor of scientific
computing, analyzes a Volkswagen Beetle's personality, Monday, June 22.
2009, in Tallahassee, Fla. Slice, and other researchers, conducted a study
that confirms the belief that cars project personalities. Slice concluded
that the Volkswagen Beetle is the classic cute car, not dominant and not
aggressive.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The butterfly decals on the front bumper, flowers in the
dashboard vase and lime-green paint job only confirmed Dennis Slice's
perception of a Volkswagen Beetle parked in a lot at Florida State
University.

Slice, a shape analysis researcher, said the narrow body, wide-eyed circular
headlights, tall windshield and curve of the bug's hood match the facial
features of a smiling woman or child.

"This is the classic cute car - not dominant, not aggressive," said Slice,
an associate professor of scientific computing at FSU. "I don't think anyone
could be mean to someone else in a Volkswagen Beetle."

Slice got a bit of anecdotal evidence in the parking lot from Gwen Oliver, a
custodial supervisor at Florida State, after telling her that her black
Eclipse is dominant, aggressive, powerful and "ready to take care of
business."

"I am. Everything you said, I'm like that," Oliver told him after she
briskly walked over to see why he was interested in her car. "I'm
aggressive, I'm straightforward and I'm outgoing and I believe in getting
the job done."
