Some guys think that the hot car is going to get them the hot girls. They're probably right. At least for a time, and there is a certain kind of "hot" that is attracted to expensive cars. It's the kind that comes with a side of gold-digger and nothing else at all.
Because I can't seem to figure girls out most of the time, I honestly can't say what sort of car most girls would like to see their man drive, but I do have very strong opinions myself. Those opinions are turning into pet peeves the more I have to drive in the city.
I can't stand expensive cars. You know the people who have to park far away from everyone else? They take up two parking spots and always sit near a window so they can make sure nobody walks too close to their baby. Oh, and they call their car "baby". The car has no quirks, other than it's stupid name. A real car should have quirks, yo...the things you have to tell people about when they borrow it. A real car should be able to be borrowed in the first place, without your friends and family feeling like you've given them your last remaining kidney. If you have to spend ten hours a day thinking about your car, it's too expensive and not worth the worry.
I dated a guy once who had a brand new something-something, bright red, perfect everything, fast as hell. He picked me up for dinner and we had a pleasant conversation about his car all the way there. When we got out of the car, he carefully inspected every inch of it before we went inside. He went out to check on it twice. I called a friend to pick me up and never talked to him again.
Also, no man should ever drive a "compensation" car. Because really, it's jerky and doesn't work. Buy compensation cars for your wife, not for yourself. This will prove whatever you are trying to prove while still allowing you to appear like a non-wuss.
If you want to spend a ton of money on your vehicle, put the money into the vehicle, not into a dealer's pocket. Buy a diesel. Used. Then blow the rest of your money on super chips, cat-backs, stacks, intakes and a killer sound system.
Or buy a gas beater and fix it up. Spend the extra cash on custom paint or something. Don't buy something girly, is my point, even if it's expensive.
And for the love of Pete, buy American. I know our cars don't always out perform the others, but at least you can take the damn things apart and still get them back together. It is very manly to fix your own car; it is not manly at all to not be able to find the oil filter because it's shoved up under a Toyota passenger seat or something. The other countries make their cars like this so they can laugh at people dropping their cars off at a dealer for repair, sinking even more cash into their company because nothing on a foreign car can be fixed in a home garage.
If your car is super-loud, that's fine. But you don't have to rev the engine to show off, because most girls can't tell the difference between Loud on Purpose and Loud Because this Car SUCKS. If you find a girl who does know the difference, marry her instantly.
Nothing will ever beat the pickup in the manliness category. But if you drive a pickup, you must also follow the rules. Cowboy hats go on the dash, guns go in the back....never the opposite. Always wave at passers-by on a dirt road. You must wave at other trucks no matter where you are. If you happen to drive a diesel and need to fill up, it is necessary to trade specs with the guy on the other side. If you don't drive a diesel, you don't have to do this unless the guy on the other side has a similar truck of a different make...then you must compare until you WIN, yo. Also? Girls get the right of way at a four-way intersection. Always.
These are my own redneck girl's rules for manliness in driving. Take them or leave them, but mostly take them because y'all are starting to drive me crazy.
