Nothing personal to any ladies who might be reading this, I personally don't always believe that women will answer a survey like they might actually resond at any given moment. When my car was new it was sweet. It is so bright (white ) in the sun that it is blinding. I had been talking to this girl at a grocery store by my house where she worked.... Little blonde sweet thing and after a few times i asked her out. She lived in the same area as i did and she stopped by that night afterwork and didn't leave till the next morning. I called her the a few days later i think it was the next friday night and told her my name and she didn't know who I was untill I told her what kinda car I drove... Then she knew exactly who I was.. All I could think about at the time was it worked.. One of the reasons I actually bought my car. And it worked more than once.. But then again that was quite a while ago..

BTW, my girl friend just said women answer surveys the way they think people want to them answered ..

What makes a car sexy?

The guy in it?? Hell no, give me the car, the guy I can take or leave.

It's fast? I do like a fast car, but I also like it loud

It's obviously expensive? money has nothing to do with it. It's the style of the car and how well it is maintained that should be the turn on

A convertible Top? heck yeah

A manual transmisssion? I like both(since I drive an automatic). But the manual is more fun

Leather seats? Well...aside from sticking to them, they are pretty sleek and they look good too

A great stereo? it's a good feature, but I dont want to put that in an dmake my music so loud that I can't hear my car

It's not a rental? It would be nice, it's rare to get a good looking rental



Who would you rather date......?

A guy who drives too fast: erm, kind of dangerous there

A guy who drives too slowly: uh...still kind of dangerous there



A guy who drives fast and very well is......

Fun: yes

A turn-on: depends on the occassion and the loudness of the vehicle

A maniac: could be

Insecure: 8% <-----should be slapped....... <---Silver agrees



Between the two following pairs which is sexier??

Classic sports Car?
<--Dont make me choose o_o (Classic)
New sports Car?
-----------------------------
Muscle Car: oh, got to have a muscle car EHEHEHE
Motorcycle: I love a nice motorcycle : D
-----------------------------
Black Car:
Red Car: <--- why do we have to choose. They're both sexy. So are blue ones and silver ones and oh yeah white and dark green ones......



Have you ever decided to NOT sleep with a man after seeing what he drives??
O_o the car can say something about the personality of the driver.....but I dont know about the whole sleeping with a man because of his car, though.

That applies to ricers <-- yes it just might @_@

What should any self-respecting man be able to do??

Make the car payment: 91%**** don't really care
Change the tire: 87% I dont really want to be stranded (but **** I can change one myself, too)
Parallel Park: 70% what the heck? if you care for the car you better be parking half a block over and making us hike. (I'd be doing that)
Change the oil: 69% shows a guy is willing to do it himself to make it work. I personally so it myself so the shop won't mess up my hood
Drive a stick shift: 59% it might be important at some point
Call AAA: 51% A man should know when he needs help
Other: 8% *shrug*

I know I didnt answer this with percentages, but there you go.

Pardon? Why the heck would we....O_o well, I'm confused now. I think you should answer things the way YOU want to answer them. Use tact, if the situation calls for it, of course. But other than that....state what you think.


And thank you, Sonar_un. I do hope that you were not referring to all women in that statement, though ^_^

I had no idea you were a gal. I thought you were a guy all this time! It still doesn't change my opinion of you though.


about the utes with bling bling rims, I didn't mean any harm buy it, but it is true on my Campus. Ok, maybe not all of the girls like them, but a large portion of them do and run over to talk to the person in it.

Of course I wasnt' referring to all women, just women in general. And you know I am right. Every once in a while there is a girl who actually understands, but most, do not.

Yes, Ricers get all the women, and then again, they do not. Lots of women don't understand why anyone would do anything to thier car at all. Just put gas in it once in a while and change the oil when their husband/boyfriend tell them too. I have seen WAY too many examples of this.

Ricers do however get more women than the muscle car guys so. Women (in general Silver ) like creature comforts. Muscle cars are loud, bumpy, have crappy air conditioning, etc..etc. My GF hates t-tops, she hates convertibles, hates my air conditioning because it doens't blow hard enough, likes imports, hates domestics, likes comfortable interior, likes updated interiors, etc etc.

I just learned to leave it be, most women just don't understand. Then again, we don't understand their shoes facination either.

The imort guys get all the girls for nothing. But the ladies tend to come over to the domestic side after they see thier men get a good *** kicking. I have honestly seen a girl get out of the losing car and start flirting with the guy in the winning car.:sillylol:

The young girls go to the import cars, the women go to the muscle cars.
As girls mature they realize how silly the ricers look and then begin to appreciate a "real" car.
Time will prove me correct if you don't believe....of course with some girls there is NO accounting for taste.

My car is not in its best shape, but the only reason I park far away is no one throws crap under my car, such as empty beer cans. I get really tired of that. A lot of places have a small parking lot on the side of the establishment. That is where I like to park.



I go to car shows to see the cars, not the girls, but obviously I'm going to look.




This reminds me of the 80s when a lot of women walked up to Mercedes or BMWs.

survey

for it me, the car has to be in great condition and sound really good.

Also a turn on is a stick shift. The reason as i told my grandmother, that means the guy is good with hands.
She laughed her @ss off at that.

I get shivers watching a guy drive stick shift

black is definately a beautiful color, but i can definately prove that red gets more girls when back to back.

i can't vouch for girls caring about a manual though, to many things i'd rather do than be wrenching on a shaft.

I don't really think that any 3rdgen fits into the muscle car category, or the "new sports car" category....I think we got the best of both worlds...

Most people of the female gender that I've spoken with, think of 3rdgen 'maros as a Drug Dealer's car....which is why I could care less what other people think of them....

I don't care at all what any given female thinks of my car.....I wouldn't want a chick to be with me for just my car anyways....

oh meh G o d @_@ ....I see someone with a little car and 20 inch blindingly chrome rims I'm running away, I don't find it attractive at ALL.

I'm very sorry to hear that Sonar........*shakes head* if I had someone that said ONE complaint about my car......he/she's walking because I dont want to hear it. When you have a car and I dont have to tote you around then you can drive yours and I can drive mine and there we can all be happy.

Be afraid of those who park closely to other people. They'll probably ding your car if you leave them to their own devices.

And if all the girls are going for the imports that leaves the women for the muscle cars.

funny that you mention the drug dealer thing... about 4 years ago my dad and I bought an '86 that was in pretty bad shape for $1000. Even though there was rust and everything in it I couldn't figure out why the guy had made the box for his 15" subs so well. He lined the well with fiberglass and actually attached the top of the box to the car with screws and sealed it with silicon... turns out we found more than a few whacky weed seeds in there.

As for girls not knowing anything about cars... I don't think it's true. In fact, NOBODY, guys and gals alike, knows anything about cars anymore. I was a grease monkey over the summer and you could tell that most people never even lift the hood between oil changes. Cars would come in (esp. Saturns and Isuzus cause they all burn oil) a full quart or more low on oil. WE ARE TALKING NOT EVEN ON THE DIPSTICK! And when we would try to sell serpentine belts to people with cracked ones they would ask "Well, what does it do." In general, people today are just plain stupid when it comes to their vehicles. They dont care it it was low on oil when they brought it in, they just don't want any smudges on their hood or leather seats when they leave!!!

No it's better when you are going about 40 mph and the tech says about "25".....

I had someone ask me why i was only driving 25 when the speed limit was 35.........I looked at him like he was stupid

Sweet, I have a black trans am, I like to drive fast, and yet Im still single

Girls do seem to like the beast, but not many seem to know much about it at all. My favorite thing to hear is "it only goes 85?" They also always ask, "why isnt it stick?" They dont realize when you get 200 some odd dollar cars you dont have the biggest selection.

Its funny, most people I know dont know anything about cars period. I drove to Boston with a friend whos toyota which is obviously about to eat its transmission. He didnt seem to care. I flat out told him, my sister knows more about cars than you. Which is true, considering all she overhears from me and my father. Its bad at my house, I cant pull off the "I need new heads for improved fuel economy" with my mom because she actually knows what they do.

What a topic! Myself, it's all about what a man and I have in common. Does he respect me and my 'Birds? Do I have fun with him? Does he make me laugh? Does he like me for who I am? Does he make me happy? And the big thing, can he accept that I work on cars and am a gearhead?? By the way, I myself get turned on by a manual. I also get turned on by a man who works on cars also.These are by far not required. If your sweet to me and can make me laugh, I am yours! Black Trans Ams really turn me on,89BlackGTA.
