Question Of The Day: What's A Hairdresser's Car?  You might be
suffering from auto show fatigue, so let's take a break from all
the Detroit hubbub and discuss a matter of great import. What
the heck is a hairdresser's car, anyway?  The mysterious, Stig-
like entity known around these parts as The Auto Insider
declared that the 2009 BMW Z4 is the perfect hairdressers' car,
which got some of us wondering what the heck that even means.
Was it an insult? A compliment? Is there something wrong with
being a hairdresser? Heck, some of us have dated hairdressers
follicular engineers who drove Toyota Echos.  Surely, the dream
car of the neighborhood barber is different than the dream car
of a celebrity stylist, right? We're counting on our trusty
commenters to explain what it all means, and how to feel about
it.
