I don't like women who go after material things in general. I own a motorcycle yamaha and a cars audi a7 and vw arteon which all costed me a lot but I did it for myself because I like cars. Most women don't really care what car you have. I have the same success as when I was driving regular car.

I've been a huge car enthusiast since HS so I currently own 4 bxx, 1 p car, 1 Honduh, 1 Tesla, 1 R bxx bike, 1 Aprilia

I only drive my modest car when meeting up with girls and only tell them some of the cars I have after I've gone out with them for awhile.

I just don't want to attract the wrong type of females personally.

I do notice ALL THE TIME when I drive my p car and especially at gas stations, girls are always striking up a convo with me. But those are the girls that I would rather not be involved with so I generally do not engage in anything but friendly convo and do not think about closing.

Also, all my cars are customized and modified so that generally tends to attract younger gals which helps.

Take great care of what you can afford and what you have. Women notice your intent much more so than brand. That is if you're dealing with a woman of higher value.

I never got sex because of my car (mazda rx8) but women did like the fact that I didn't drive a piece of sh!t. It certainly helped grease the wheels a bit and I kept it very clean.

After that I owned a Honda element. It never really turned women away, but i've never had women tell me what an ugly car I had until I owned that. It was great to make out in tho with the reclineable back seats and tons of head and leg room. Once they were on the inside, they couldn't see it. And cops won't even look at you. If anything, I got more tail when I owned the Honda than the Mazda.

Most women are oblivious to cars and can't tell the difference. I have a coworker who told me she owns a Mazda, she owns a Hyundai. And guys that own them will tell you, if you get a lambo, you won't get women; you'll get a bunch of dudes coming up to you saying nice car.

There's also the practical aspect: outside of a Lexus, modern expensive flashy cars are very expensive to keep running. BMW is known as Break My Wallet in both car and motorcycle circles with good reason. Everything is $500+ to fix, and they break often. Audis and Mercedes are just as bad, they have engineered obsolescence built into them, and the depreciation is as bad as the spare parts because of it.

According to Aaron Clarey, from his experience working with lending at banks, the vast majority of people who own really nice cars can't afford them. They borrow money out the ass so they can pretend to be rich. And people who actually have tons of money drive beaters.

This is so true

This is so true

Not just the likes of Lambo/Ferrari/Porsche/etc....

I've had similar dude comments in the past when I had a fast Subaru WRX... and even had a few guys liking my current Saab (those who recognise that the petrol 'Aero' is the quick turbo model)

This is so true. Cost of entry does not equal cost of ownership. Just because you can afford to buy the car doesn't mean you can afford to maintain it. That's why so many clueless buyers get enticed by the dangling carrot and end up selling their ride a year later after they have bent over without lube to pay up the azz on some repairs or maintenance items.

I've been working on cars since HS and do all my own work outside of mounting/balancing tires(no machine). If I didn't I couldn't afford to keep most of my cars.

In my opinion a flashy sportscar, a well-tailored suit, a defined muscular physique WILL attract more attention simply because they are accomplishments that are highly coveted, usually hard-earned, and attained via a heavy price.

If you want that type of women, sure, go for it. But those are the guys that usually come on here complaining that their wives/gf left them after they lost their jobs, or cheated on them with a higher smv guy, etc.

No thank you. I want a woman to like me for me and me only. Not be influenced by what I have and all the artificial stuff.

Now if all you're trying to do is get laid and that's it. Rent those cars on Turo and break out the Armani's. LOL
