Girl I went out with looked down on my car

Is that your car?

With a tone, basically saying, that car sucks, you should be driving something better, I couldn't help but feel embarrassment, on top of that, I had forgotten to wash the car, so it didn't look its best

RELAX. means nothing.

Just because she doesnt like your car doesnt mean she automatically doesnt like you. Small **** test to see if you freak, but realistically she didnt say anything here one of your bros wouldnt say.

We know that men value love and women love value. But I do my own upkeep on my car. Had it for 9 years now. Though I drove my uncle's brand new S class Benz and got so much attention from it! More than my dad's 06 Chrysler 300 and his fianceé's 04 Camry (I do the maintenance on these cars too, and I tricked them out a little bit BTW) put together!

Backbreaker speaks from actually having a high end car. That equals value in a woman's eye. But there are rich folk who drive Honda accords with mansions!

True. It's easy to go nuts with cars, that's wy you drive what you can afford. But as a single guy who's lookin for a chick, you will get judged for your ride. Sucks, but true. Even when you have your own business, people look at you funny when all you have is an Accord. Just one of those things.

Ever since I stop giving a **** what women think it has been one of the most liberating experiences in my life. I don't take crap from any of them, I am very firm and blunt if they want to test me

My phone is nearly 4 yrs old and not even an iPhone. Whenever somebody makes fun of it and talks about upgrading, I look them in the eye and say: "This dinosaur works just fine for me". This shuts them up. Don't underestimate YOUR hourly rate for dealing with such bullsh!t issues. Your time is precious, you may want to turn to fewer, but higher quality chics who are worth it.

I was driving a 91 diesel jetta with 300k miles on it until a couple months ago. Now i have a diesel jetta wagon with 240k on it. The newer car is better, but still VERY uncool.

I used to be very self conscious about my old jetta, but then i started to realize a lot of girls actually kind of liked it. I drove it because I am a good mechanic and can keep old cars running, and its was super cheap to own (48 mpg).

A girl who is worth keeping can see past the fact that you drive a lame car, if she cant see past it, then its an excellent filtering system.

About 6 months ago i was considering buying a much flashier car for the sole purpose of impressing women. So glad I didnt do it.

lmfao :crackup:

Dont laugh, brah. Its a very small car. I had to fold both front seats and the lady would still have to put one leg out through the window. But thats not the point of this thread. I think the OP should have defended himself strongly. One thing tho - for the love of all that is holy, keep your goddamn car clean, man.

Girl I went out with looked down on my car

This is just begging for a low-rider joke.
:flowers:


I had a Ford Maverick in High School. Got it for $70, replaced the battery cable, and *VrooM* it fired right up. Worked great, until I got a baby blue Ford Pinto. :yes:

Four speed, AC, 2.2, rear-wheel drive, no rust, even had the trunk, not the hatch, into which I put two 12" Cerwin Vegas. I loved that thing, and it was great fun to drive, super dependable, and was quite economical at the time. I really was proud of it: kept it highly waxed, vacuumed, and didn't leave trash floating around. I miss that thing and regret having moved it down the road. I hope a collector found it; it still had a lot of life. Had I known better at the time, I would've dropped the 302 in it and made it a monster.

Did I take crap for it. You bet, no doubt.

Man, I have a million stories to share about "defending my car's honor". But, after a few times failing sh¡t tests, I got quicker and more creative with the comebacks.

Ultimately, instead of "reacting" to women's bs, take the opportunity to ƒuck with them for being silly.

"No, it's not my car. It's my sail boat, retard."
"Yeah. And, no, you can't drive it. Wait until I see you drive, then maybe I'll trust you."
"Yes. I have a different colored pinto for every day of the week. Today is blue."
"Yeah! I took the body off a Pinto and put it on a Porshe chassis. Cops have no clue!"
"Bought and paid for a long time now, cheap insurance, easy on gas, fun to drive, dependable... why? How much you offerin'?
"Wanna race for Pink slips? Your broomstick, against my Pinto."

*slap the keys on the hood, snap to attention, stare straight ahead, and yell hella-loud like bootcamp, making as big of a scene as possible*
"THIS IS MY PINTO. THERE ARE MANY LIKE IT, BUT THIS ONE IS MINE. WITHOUT ME, MY PINTO IS USELESS. WITHOUT MY PINTO, I AM USELESS."
*then smile, maybe wink at her, grab your keys and carry on like it never happened*

I've gotten a zillion laughs with the bootcamp thing ...mainly from folks on other levels of the parking ramp or down the street who couldn't help but overhear. I sound off like I got a pair, what can I say?

Anyway, take it as an opportunity to mess with them. It got to be so fun, I would actually look forward to getting messed with about my car.

Though, as I got older, I found that a stern look-down, followed by:
"You had better be careful what sort of stupid sh¡t comes out of your mouth next."
or
"Don't be one of those girls."
...works extremely well for me in most sh¡t test scenarios.

Best to have a car you can afford. The payments last longer than any BJ lol.

Shame on you OP!
you failed at the bigger picture, YOURSELF

you didn't stand up for yourself, you failed this "**** test" or whatever you want to call it.

"yes that's my car, and if you are the type of girl who can't get past the car a guy drives, you can turn around and leave ASAP."

She would have then realized what a materialistic B1tch she is and apologizedd (attraction for you increases)
or she would have walked away...

This was no sh1t test.

It all has to do with her attitude that she has.

Even if he told her that her attraction won't increase if she has no attraction for him.

Some women will not date men that don't have a nice car, job, income, status no matter what you look like.

Use less words and more action!

She was looking down on him cause of his car.

She was already judging him on his car making her decision on that.

Those are women you don't want in your life cause nothing he has will be good enough for her.

All he had to do was say " That sure is my car and you're not getting in it."

That puts her ass in her place and he shouldn't care whether she apologizes or not.

Don't let anybody make you feel bad about the materials you own when they don't feel it's up to their standards.

Those are all great funny comebacks, but i think this kind of situation demands a tough stance from the man.
