Something that guys with nice cars overlook is someting called "living within your means." I know guys that bite off more than they can chew just to have what they think will be a "puzzy magnet" of a car. Insurance is higher on a nicer car, and, if you genuinely have to struggle to pay for everything, the gig is up when you get back to your pad and the chick realizes you live in a dump with no furniture and nothing in the fridge. My CRX was paid for 10 years ago, still goes over 160 and still gets 44 mpg with 297k on it. Yes, I did the mods myself. Yes, it's old. No, it doesn't get me laid. I don't need it to. I friggin' love that thing. It is wicked-fun to drive, is cheap in all regards to own, and it's a diabolical sleeper that drops jaws. Do I care if chicks like it? No, in fact, they hate riding in it - the stiff suspension makes their t!tties jiggle and hurt. Too bad.
Another thing: If a chick sees it, so do the cops. And you WILL get profiled.
young guy + hot car = on the side of the road getting tickets
No? I've been rolled for:
no front plate
window tint too dark
exhaust too loud (Greddy)
suspicious driving (passing through a small town)
"innadequate tread depth" (tires spun in the rain, tread fine)
"lights too bright" (stock lights)
"your car fits the description of..."
"blatent display of horsepower" (???? Pulled out into traffic, tire chirped around corner...."eep")
"reckless driving" (wasn't, I was dodging a guy switching lanes who didn't see me)
"drag racing" (wasn't, just pulled off the line like normal)
"cruising" (wasn't, just dropping off a movie)
Blatent excuses to pull me over with nothing to do with "safety on the roadways".
Of course, the extend will vary based on the region. In the south and west it's not so bad, but in the midwest... cops are super harsh on the "fast and furious" type rides.
