What Does Your Car Say About You?

[ChevyLover]

98 cavalier z24. Also, fixed up 78 1/2 ton truck with fats n mags.

I see my cavalier as a car that will save me sh1t loads of money on gas, is reliable and inexpensive. Also goes like hell for a 4 banger - 120km in the quarter mile. My moms chevy vortec 350 does it at 130km so the cavalier goes pretty good if you ask me. I haven't met a chick that doesn't like it yet, so I guess thats a good sign. takes about $30 to fill it - my truck was twice as much money and it got like 10miles to the gallon. Its nice to be able to go to the city without having to fill up the gas tank a couple times on the way there...

But when it all boils down to it, a car is just a car. If you have skills, you will still land the chick - even if you drive a p.o.s.

My car is a son of a b*tch always saying things behind my back and stealing all my women.

Porsche 928: I am dating big-haired women who would otherwise be inaccessable to me

Ford Mustang Cobra: I slow down to 85 in school zones

Pontiac Trans Am: I have a switchblade in my sock

haha funny yet so true...

Well, I live in Australia, so you prolly arent familiar with our cars here.

I drive a Ford EL Falcon with tinted windows. Soon to get the **** worked on it as my younger brother is a petrol head. I'm not complaining as I reap the benifits without the hard labor. hehe.

Its an Inline 6 cylinder which is about to get twin turbos and a fat (dare I say phat) 3" exhaust straight through. Gonna be pulling a 10 second quarter mile.

My mommas company car (no we are not filthy rich, she just got a lucky job) is a Mercedes Covertible SLK 200(?) with Supercharger. Whenever I get to drive that and I pull up a the lights, I swear every chick from 15 to 115 stares at me. It doesnt hurt that Im only 20 and still on Probationary Licence.
Dont listen to anyone who says otherwise, cars PULL THE CHICKS IN.

2003 Mustang GT Black - Gives off look at me I am trying to be cool by getting a mustang like everyone else in the freaking state of NY (I think you can tell I dont like mustangs to0 much) My brother bought it and didnt like it so he gave it to me. Who could turn away a brand new car

2002 Camaro Z28 in Sunset Orange - I think it says look at me with a balzy type of arrogance with the ttops off.

and for the weekends

1967 Oldsmobile 442 in Candy Apple Red (pumps out about 425+hp) I think this car says I am a bad ass becuase of the wide tires and its mean sound that it gives off

Personally I beleive a car represents a man by being an extension of himself, well at least for the guys who care about the car they drive.

2001 kia rio

it says, "neener neener I got a free car for my 16th birthday"

I dont care how girly it is, it runs well and it was, most importantly, free

 

[jbrunner_ipa]

my fav. mode of transportation is my yamaha route 66. Nice little bike and it looks cool.
However...the weather isn't always nice so i have a '96 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer Model. (i like it a lot) Black tint. 20" rims. (yes...it does look very very cool) Blue undercarriage lights (can be switched on and off from inside) color matches the custom interior lights on my dash and my 180 w. system. Fully equipped with moonroof/sunroof power everything. Air intake system is all the engine mods i have right now...and that just helps me on gas. Haven't heard anybody diss my ride and it's great for picking up chicks in.

[NoMore]

Depends on the weather and my mood:

1996 BMW 328is black with black tint and leather interior..slammin system.

1978 International Harvester Scout II. Flat black primer with rust, 6 inches of lift, 35 mud tires, bikini top, custom rollcage, lockers .....I use it to pull out stuck jeeps.

I live at both ends of the spectrum...upper class and white trash.

The kind of chicks that dig you for your ride are usually the ones that you are trying to weed out...or just have a little temporary fun with. But i didn't buy my cars for women. I love BMW, once you drive one you will understand.

 

[OleRyder]

Does BMW make anything worth driving? Except the R-series, that is?

 

[LordBrian]

I drive a 1994 Chrystler LeBaron GTC.

BMW has really sexy cars. Once I get some money Im gonna get me one. Or maybe a used Porshe

 

[b_elusive_eyes]

Who cares about what car you drive to an extent...Girls aren't screwing your car their screwing you and what you have to offer on a personal level....just have some wheeels that are reliable and nice.....if the chic doesn't dig you she will care less what car you drive....if you like women enough the vehicle you have plays no part in her wanting tobe with you...otherwise get rid of her if she thinks differently.

EVERYTHING makes a difference on some level. A girl may not care if you have a decent car, but if you have a piece of crap they will definitely care. You may be able to woo her with other things, but she will not like the fact that your wheels are sub-par. The assumption is that she will be going places with you in your car, so if your car is a P.O.S. it is embarrassing to her. On the other hand, if you have a really nice car it will give you bonus points without question. Her knight in shining armor needs a noble steed, not some flea-bitten donkey. Obviously the car isn't everything, but it makes a difference.

Well stated.

The car alone won't get you laid (obviously a cold p/u in a bar for instance - she doesn't even know what you drive) but driving a p.o.s. can definitely serve to prevent you from getting laid. Having a nice car is like icing on the cake. It serves to create VALUE in subsequent encounters.

Got a copper/orange Puegeot 206cc(the hard-top convertible) with leather interiors in black and orange and girls dig it big time. Trust me, the car will help. Like 2% of the whole, but it will...

 

[Trickster_guy_2001]

Boy, this guy is crazy.

He's always cursing. But then he IS from Michigan.

And I need my oil changed more; but does he listen?! Nooooooooooooooooo.

I need my rear bumper fixed, and all he can do is stick another bumper sticker on me.

Don't get me wrong. I love da goof...It's not a bad friendship. He just needs a REAL job so he can take care of me better. Then maybe we can move to some place warmer. I hate being stuck in the cold winters that Michigan has. All that ice and slush getting under my tires. Brr. That is miserable. Makes me wanna just stall on him, and see how HE likes fixing me in the cold.

Eh. At least I get the cool radio stations to listen to. He likes the radio, so I'm never bored when he's around.

If there's any female truck out there, I'm a good looking 94 Chevy with a teal body and a silver bumper. Honk at me. I know you ladies love the silver bumpers.

I'm not going to disclose what I drive. Suffice it to say, it's an acceptable car, and my girlfriend doesn't seem to mind that I drive us around in it to various places.

I am a firm believer that a new car is a terrible investment. On the other hand, a vintage European luxury car speaks volumes about your sense of class and style. Imagine picking up your date in a fully-restored 1970s vintage 2-door Mercedes, Porche or Maserati? These cars won't break the bank, and if maintained carefully, can last for many more years to come.

Some posters have encouraged having two cars -- one for daily use, and the other for show. I agree. Buy yourself a new Honda if you want day-to-day dependability. But also buy yourself a vintage European luxury car for those times you want to show some class.
