I don't think women necessarily go for the car itself. It's what it represents that matters to (some of) them. An expensive car means that the guy has money and women most definitely go for that.

Something else that's interesting is that different guys' personalities seem to go with different car brands. Every time I get almost run over by some speed-crazy or here-I-come-move-aside! moron it's a BMW. Other expensive brands like Mercedes don't seem to have drivers who act like that. Audi is the mini-BMW in that regard. They're almost as obnoxious but not quite. I should do a scientific study on this.

I like Audi drivers.

Of course you do. Nice guys are not for you.

Unless I were cruising for a quick romp, I wouldn't even want a partner who is swayed by my car.

If you're middle class and you're driving a really high end car, I'll just think you're stupid. But a lower end lexus or mercedes is doable depending on your payscale. I hate all SUVs so it doesn't matter how much money you make, I'll just think you're a nazi.

However, no matter what kind of car a person drives, it's more important to me how they treat the car than what kind it is. For example, if the backseat has papers and shit all over the place, and there's 3 day old rubbish from a happy meal on the floorboard and shit....well, that says something about how you run your life.

I do care about what car they drive but it's not like a nice car will make me like them more.

But a shitty old piece of shit car may make me like them less...or at least, never go out with them in that car.

Exactly.

I grew up in a "car family." My dad was in the business - so he had a new demo every three months and my mom had a new car every year. Nice, new cars are just what I'm used to.

I'm not saying a guy has to have a new car all the time (even though I've never had one longer than three years) - or that the car he has must be ridiculously expensive. But it should be relatively current, in good repair - and it should not make noise (ie, no missing muffler, squeaky brakes, knocking engine, etc).

Until recently, Sweetie had a very nice car. But his company switched from a car allowance to company cars. Neither of us like his new car as much as the old one (which he sold to his son), but it's brand new and it costs nothing. We'll take it.

I loved Sweetie's old car.

I know. The new one isn't sexy in the least.

Sometimes, I suggest we take my car because it's prettier. Don't tell him I told you. [img:$uid]http://npgunderground.myfreeforum.org/images/smiles/eusa_shifty.gif[/img:$uid]

I don't mind at all . As long as I like the outfit he is wearing, that is a milion times more important. Ain't nothing worse than to look at a man in an outfit I can't stand.

Hhhmmmm....okay, that is understandable. Though as a student, I used to work for BMW and had to send approximately 10.000 cars per day to the USA, Japan and Australia, and at one point I felt a bit like a Mc Donalds employee who gets fed up with Big Macs one day.

I developed a fetish for all the other cars in the docks...the oldschool vintage cars, old Porsches, old Ferraris, Impalas from the 1960s, Thunderbirds, Lowrider cars and rare cars like Lotus Elises and especially cars from the 1970s ( all these car models were waiting to be shipped to their private buyers overseas or vice versa, came from overseas).

I get why you like your car in mint condition and that you don´t like unreliable or old , cheap cars but what I´d like to know is: How do you feel about vintage cars in mint condition?

Are you emotionally or visually attached to them as well, or do they simply leave you cold due to their lack of modern technology and the nice features and gadgets that come with that technology?

Well, see...now you're getting into collector cars - which, honestly, do nothing for me. I mean, I can appreciate the collector aspect. But as a means of modern transportation, they leave a lot to be desired.

I live in a cold climate and, trust me - men who have collector cars here do not take them out if the weather is the least bit inclement. They store their "babies" over the winter - and typically have some other form of transportation. So it's really a moot point.

In my early 20s, I dated a guy who had a 1968 Camaro. He rarely drove it because it needed octane booster for the engine to perform optimally - and he had a whole lot of other conditions that had to be met before he drove it.

We dated for six months and I never so much as sat in the thing.

The guy was a total douche.

I get extremely horny whenever I see a red Range Rover.

Wish I could explain why though....

i'd love to be able to afford one and get a driver to drive me around though

regarding the original post, i absolutely get turned off by guys who are extra obsessed with cars.

the type who's always hanging out by shops looking for the latest cool stuff to add (subwoofers and what have you). they bore me to death and beyond.

I don't have a car. Surely women don't mind going in a taxi or private rented mini-van?

It doesn't matter to me if a guy has a car.

I'd walk to get to you.
