So i guess i have always been semi curious as to what a chick thinks about a guy who drives a certain car

 

Scenario - Its a first date, you arrive on time to pick her up at her house - she steps out the door to see what you drive (or reversed roles)

 

what goes through the persons head when they see your car.

 

I drive a very powerful toyota supra. My pride and joy and i make sure its always in top condition. It drops panties on every street ;) (well i like to think it does haha)

 

But my mate drives an old banged up 90's toyota hiace. Rubbish in the back, faded paint and rust all over.

 

Does what some one drives even play apart in an impression of what someone may think of you

Normal Car -- They don't notice your car

 

Good Car -- "Yes he's rich!!!"

 

Bad Car -- "Sorry I couldn't make it tonight I had a family emergency"

The car does not matter, believe me, I speak from experience. It all depends on the guy inside driving it. My best girl never cared about what I drove (mid 2000's Chevrolet coupe.) As long as it's clean on the inside and reasonably clean outside it's all good.

While I literally don't care (I don't even care if he HAS a car), this is what I perceive...

 

 

If a guy drives a fancy or flashy car, it will be offputting to me at first glance. Indicates he probably has a lot of debt/wastes money on useless thing. He likely is too materialistic for me and we won't have much in common. I would still give him a chance to see if we click, but it wouldn't be off to a good start.

 

 

A totally normal and sensible car appeals to me more.

 

 

A beat up pickup truck would be most appealing to me. That's my style!

Yeah no, i completely see where you are coming from. For me, imports are what i find appealing.

I sort of agree. The only time the car really registers if I wonder if it's safe to get in or it's really over the top high end & I wonder what the person is compensating for.

 

Other than when I was 17, & he had a mint condition 1967 Mustang, I never dated a guy for his car.

The car itself is inconsequential, though my douche radar spikes a little if it's heavily modified or super fancy.

 

I do take notice of the interior. It's not a deal breaker, but if there's trash all over or it smells weird, that's unappealing, as I feel it's a reflection of the person driving (I also feel this way about friends' cars, btw).

 

I'm most interested, however, in how the guy drives. Is he callous, fast, dangerous? Does he lay on the horn? Cut people off? These things matter.

Depends on the girl. I know a couple who like cars, if its a heavily modified supra and is a NA then they will not like it. Apart from that most women will just see a sporty car with a high spoiler from the 90's and not give it a second thought. As long as you drive sensibly.

Personally I think majority of woman dont give two hoots about cars rarely is it our thing and in all my life ive never heard a woman gush over a guys car why would we? Having a car does nothing it doesnt make you a better or worse partner, its only about the man inside it.

I'm sure it depends on the individual woman. As I have a fear of going fast in car, a powerful car would actually put me off a guy. It shows someone who enjoys speed, who is willing to invest a lot of his money into it, and also enjoys impressing women with what he can purchase. None of those are qualities I'd personally go for. Other women may feel differently.

 

One thing I do like is to feel warm and welcome. If a guy's car was cold, messy and he took no trouble to make me feel comfortable (dismissing it if I said it was chilly or something), then yes that would put me off too.

 

Any risk taking where vehicles are concerned would be out of the question as far as I was concerned.

But just say i pulled up, obviously my car is probably something you would feel uncomfortable in, would you put that aside and see what i was like first.

Yes, if I'd agreed to a date, presumably I liked something about you. I would give it a go because unless someone had badly misrepresented themselves, I would not stand them up. That's just bad manners.

 

If you then spent the next 30 minutes taking me on a hair-raising ride in your flash motor, I would ask you to take me home or call a taxi at wherever we stopped. Some men like speed and I don't think they change. It would be a perennial problem between us so what's the point of starting something if you know that in advance?

A nice car absolutely helps. Women compliment my ride all the time, and quite a few ask me to take them for a drive.

 

Girls are trendy. Around here, 9 out of 10 women say they love a really big truck. I see unemployed guys driving big trucks with tool boxes in the back all the time, just to get women. It amuses me, but it works for them.

 

That is pretty cool man, deceiving but cool :p

hey! i drive a trendy vehicle!!

 

gotta say, I'm not a fan of big trucks or raised ones or anything particularly ostentacious.

 

i like a normal sized truck that looks well loved and used. i grew up riding around in my dad's junky truck and we had all sorts of fun!
