You might have missed his point. He might have said it better. I tend to agree to an extent. But some still drive the pigs.

When I was a young man sowing his wild oats, and praying for crop failure, long long ago... My brand new 1974 914 2.0 certainly helped more than having some crappy Honda or Datsun.

I bought my 911 when I was 40, and already married, so no.

Of course the Swedish Bikini team tried to seduce me, but I drove away in haste.

To the topic of the OP: It just depends on the type of girl and where they are in life. If its a women looking to settle down, an expensive car may be an indicator that the guy has resources and may be a benefit. However if it's lady who just wants to have a fun time with no commitments (the majority) the car wont matter in the least because they are not looking for resources in that situation, they just want Chad or Tyrone to blow her back out.

Women like something a little different. Driving an old 911 shows that you do not follow the crowd...and drive exactly what you want to drive...and if it is in good shape, probably can afford to do so as well. Not some homogenized econobox that looks like everyone else's car. Many modern effeminate men cannot even drive a stick, but you can coax moans out of that boxer engine that make shivers run up her spine. You are not afraid to get your hands dirty and can fix it on the spot if need be. You can make that car do amazing things. You don't need a freakin MP3 because you are a real man...and know how to talk to a woman...and the seats are very close together.

If that does not help you score, you lack confidence...are a feline or there is something else seriously wrong with you.

actually on second thought...I think the butchers wife sister who helps in the shop has been looking at me and smiling at me a lot more since recently parked up in front of the store with the Cayman..

and they know i'm single cause I order 1 Schnitzel, and 1 Steak and half a roast Chicken

So she knows i'm single and she knows i'm driving Porsche and BMW

I'm a bit scared tho.. she 's a big girl, not fat, but you know, she could probably wring my neck and she knows her way with sharp knives too...

No way , not even going to bother.

Sure did. Her name is Madeline and she adopted us last October. Great cat. She slept on it for two months before moving into the house.

A vintage air cooled would fall under the same category as a Benz SL560.
Neither are noticed by women, and most are driven by guys with white hair.

They are both quaint and classic cars, but they do not exude sex & wealth like a modern Ferrari or Lambo.
They look more like a VW Beetle than a modern supercar.
