Honestly, the
majority of people I know who are that picky about what people drive are guys.
[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] 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
worth pursuing/knowing anyway?
Good point, though, that it\'s usually better if someone respects and looks
after the vehicle they\'ve got, whether it\'s a pimp-mobile or not.
Holmes
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 [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

The smart man takes the $110,000 that the 911 Turbo costs, buys himself a
Subaru WRX STi or Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 7 for $35,000 which gets you around the same level of performance (except at
the top end) as the Porsche and allows you to spend the extra $75k on a gym membership, personal trainer, a 32\'
Sea Ray for weekends at the lake, a nice home theater system, and a boat load of \'mones. Bingo, you\'re

That\'s right. Or he
invests the $110,000. Liabilities like the 911s and the Mr. T Starter Kits reveal either a tendency toward unhealthy
(or just annoying) exhibitionism, a compulsion to spend, or both.

Not to mention with the
insurance on the 911, you could prob buy another car per year. But hey, it looks sweet

Besides it´s a bit silly to put all your eggs into one basket. So he gets this Porsche and, perhaps meets a woman
who agrees to go out with him but can´t afford it cause he´s spent all his money on a bloody car
[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] . But let´s
face it, if a guy can afford to drive a flashy car a woman expects more than a meal at Pizza Hut right, even if
she´s not picky, at least I would. I´d think god this guy´s stingy or something -

Heheh, good one. I had thought about that song

It\'s by Good Charlotte. A very good cd,

I\'ve
driven a couple of Porsches, several BMWs, a Volvo, and a Saab. Porsches and BMWs do impress the ladies.
For
example, when I traded my BMW 325iS for a VW Cabrio, one gf just lost interest completely.
Don\'t tell me that
women are not attracted to men with \"status\" automobiles!
Of course, the Cabrio is known far and wide as
the ultimate chick car. (At least it\'s not that special \"Barbie\" model!) I\'m thinking of getting a
bumpersticker - \"It takes a REAL MAN to drive a chick\'s car.\"

Why didn\'t you just go down and get yourself a sex change for crying out loud?! The girl probably lost

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
common it is.

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. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
I don\'t
care about his car, but I do care about his education.
Good
Education? Then how about this?
Good education may yield a higher paying job.
Higher paying Job will allow
better financial stability.
Good financial stability may equal better car (if not just for looks, then also for
it\'s safety features).
So see, A nice car (amongst other things) can give off a good impression of the
person... whether he/she really is a good person or not is another story... but I\'m just talking about first
impressions. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
