Honestly, the
majority of people I know who are that picky about what people drive are guys.
/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif Although it\'s not always the case, I think a lot of times this
is more something the guys are competitive about and blame it on women. I admit there are exceptions to this so
don\'t everybody start flaming me.
I think what most women are concerned about is that a guy takes care of
his vehicle, and that it\'s clean. Nobody wants to run around in a junk heap (read \'74 Pinto with one door and
no brakes), but really, some guys are obsessive about their vehicles.

Yeah, there are exceptions, unfortunately. (And don\'t worry,
no flaming. My blowtorch bought it whilst whipping up that damn creme brulee.) Thing is, are those exceptions

I agree too, and I\'d
much rather date a woman who\'s interested in a guy not based on his car. But I\'ve been around people (azn\'s
gals mostly) who are really into that. Not by assumption, but many of them litterally have expressed interest in the
guys with the suped up \"rice rocket\" vehicles. Now, that could also be due to the environment they were raised.
If they\'re from a neighborhood where cars mean success/stability and excitement, then that\'s what they\'ll
see unless something changes them.
Also, in a \"survival of the fitest\" sort of view, a nice car also
symbolizes financial stability (sometimes, cuz some people spend ALL their money on the car and nothing else) so
it\'s more of a first impression. Like a resume to an interview. Wow, impresseive resume (car, suit, house, etc)
so that gets you in the door. After that, it\'s still relative to how well you treat the lady and vice
versa.
This doesn\'t Always apply, I\'ve gone out with gals who are more for the love than the material
stuff. But the above does hold true in certain situations. So really, there\'s no ONE answer, just insights from
all of our experiences /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

It\'s
quite likely Europeans have very different views on this than Americans. On average, Europeans are a little less
wealthy than Americans, more concerned about the environment, and pay much higher gas prices. European cities are
better designed for walking and mass transit.
In the U.S., people are a lot more car-oriented. I personally
don\'t feel the majority of women are hugely impressed by expensive cars, altho some are. But if a guy here
didn\'t even OWN a car, that would be a major negative for him, as far as almost all American women are concerned.
Maybe carlessness is a common thing in Europe, those of you over there can tell us across the Atlantic just how

In regards
to CJ\'s responses:
Keep in mind when I mentioned about the car, I also mentioned that it signifies some
financial stability in which the women may be attracted to. You know, lots of people are more interested in
successful (in one aspect or another) people to ensure a better future.
Like I said, the car is like a
resume... impressive to the interviewer (the date). It \"helps\" you get your foot in the door. But that
doesn\'t mean they\'ll keep you. After that, it\'s up to the rest of the person to do the right
thing.
Good car doesn\'t equal good guy. That\'s true! But tell me that if you saw two guys pull up onto
the drive way, one with a 1989 Hatchback, and another with a BMW Z3, and both are pretty decent looking, I think
your first reaction may be to check out the guy with the better car. It may not be the \"Determining\" factor of
whether you\'d stay with him, but you will probably notice him \"first\", giving him \"the edge\" (pun
intended). Tis all I\'m saying. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I´m less likely to get into a car like a Porsche than say a Pick-up truck!
Sitting in a Porsche feels like you´re wiping the road with your backside

somehow too...
If one of these two cars were a nice oldtimer though - I´d certainly check the guy out more closely
/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif but BMW or the like are just too common
Europeans are not
less wealthy than americans but we do care about the environment more that´s true (and we´re proud it, at least I
am). But europeans are still car nuts to some degree but we have to be older to get a license 17 - 18 most
countries I think, not so sure. Remember that BMW and Mercedes and VW are european cars.
Perhaps that´s why I,
for instance am not as impressed by these cars because they´re just about everywhere over here, they´re nothing
special for me.
What´s more important to me is whether or not I have a car - not the guy I´m seeing
/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
In the UK, a
lot people I have known don´t have a lisence or a car but not because of the environment, it is just because they
simply can´t afford it, expecially in London ( if you can pay your rent you´re lucky already)- don´t matter really

What type of college education? Do you want an engineer with a PhD who can\'t talk in
complete sentences, farts in public, and chews with his mouth open, but can devise a great circuit board and gets
paid mucho dinero to do it, or do you want the liberal arts grad who is able to eloquently converse on a multitude
of subjects, but is unemployed due to the fact that his Western Civilization BA degree just isn\'t in demand in a
poor job market (or any job market for that matter)?
In my experience, a college education doesn\'t mean jack
squat when your generalizing about the level of quality in people. I know people with PhD\'s who are absolute
morons (I got a buddy who has three Masters and a PhD, and he\'s a complete idiot), and I know people with no
degree whatsoever other than a high school diploma who are light years ahead of the general masses in terms of
conversational intellectualism and social interaction.
However, a good liberal arts education will generally
allow a person to have a greater understanding of the world around them than not. (\"Professional\" degrees such
as engineering and business are not, in my estimation, college educations. They are training platforms forced on
institutions by the industrial revolution robber barons in order to obtain huge donations and the like. You want to
understand business? Screw the MBA, and start in the mailroom. Keep your lousy, money grubbing capitalistic
consumerisms out of my education.)
(BTW - I\'ve got two worthless BA\'s, and am trying to get out of the
Marketing/Sales business and do something productive with my life rather than schlepping crap people could do
without.)

I drove an \'85

where fixing her every month cost more than a new car payment. Never seemed to have a problem getting hotties with
that ride (and I kept that baby straight stock, right down to the AM only radio).
A car to me is simply a
utilitarian device to get you from point A to point B. Any car currently available will do that. Sure some people
buy into the concept that a car is a status symbol and equate ownership with power and money and whatever else they
need to help them get through the day thinking they are a success. Personally, I think that there are a lot of
other things that one can spend their money on and get more enjoyment from - like my stereo system is about $35k,
but I can enjoy that year round and don\'t have to worry about getting jammed up in county for a couple of days by
some overzealous deputy who nailed me for going twice the posted in my $110,000 911 Turbo.

Yeah it\'s all about preference. There are people who say money spent on
a nice car could be spent elsewhere, and there would be people saying a 35k stereo system could\'ve been spent
elsewhere. In my personal opinion, a safer vehicle is more important to me than any stereo system... The nice look
and speed is a bonus. So it\'s all just our personal interests.
Now I\'m thinking you can power a CLUB with
your stereo system and make some buck back from it, heh.

Not really. I\'m not some pretentious prick driving it down the
street. The sucker is firmly rooted in my front room, and there ain\'t many people other than top level
audiophiles who would even recognize any of the stuff in my stereo system. It\'s not to impress anybody, but
simply to allow me to listen to recordings as if the performer was right in the room. To get there, it costs a few
bucks, but I certainly didn\'t put it together in order to impress anyone other than myself when I listen to
music.
If I really wanted to impress someone with a status symbol, I sure as hell wouldn\'t have drove a
crappy Mercury Lynx with only an AM radio for 14 years, or chose a Subaru Outback as it\'s successor.

I
don\'t care if a girl only has a elementary education, as long as she is there. Smart, witty, understanding. I
doubt there is much growth in college. Our intelligence is not that manipulative, or elastic. College is another
social status and important one now (due to jobs). Many view it as the next step in evolution from high school.

Not only
did this go on but, it took forever for anyone involved in the company to live up to this (if they are even now).
Many of the survivors are still alive, as I saw on one episode of \"The Awful Truth\" with Michael Moore, they
went down to the headquarters to complain and such. The fact that they prospered is the problem with little lashback
from anyone. That should be taken into consideration along with Nike\'s sweatshops which even then don\'t seem
as bad.....

I take my
boycotts seriously. I still won\'t touch a Pepsi product because they refused to put a plant in Israel because the
Arabs threatened to stop drinking it if they did. Coke, on the other hand, told them to f*ck off. That was YEARS
ago, and I am still not over it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I would
have to humbly disagree. I have found, in all cases of my encounters with a HS educated person vs a College educated
person, that the College educated person had more of an open mind and understanding of world... ability to adapt
better to change, etc. But thus far, that\'s just me.
I\'m not saying EVERYONE is all that, in college.
I\'ve met brilliant and \"special\" people in college. I\'m just saying if you took the exact same person
under HS education, then put him/her through College education, there will be a difference. Whole new different
scenario, and education system, with a much more diverse environment of people of all ages, etc.
That\'s not
factoring in various personal problems that could hinder the learning experience.

Well corporations for the most part aren\'t trying to better the world.....It sucks if there are only
a few companies out there and you may feel attached to them...what can ya
