Quick date help brother /sister Pelicans .

Take a sweet car or not ?
28 years since I've been out in the trenches . its freaking clown world .
I'm meeting a nice lady tonight. A few of my buds will be there with Harleys . I was just gonna take my Sanford and son work truck, but spent the day cleaning up my old slug ( probably for sale soon ) , and my buds carrera that has lived with me and under my care for the last 20 years .
. It's such a nice summer night here in Pa. Roof down on the Carrera would be a sweet way to get there and back, or a nice boost run on my way there always puts a little spring in my step . . She is not riding with me, just meeting me there .
Cheesy af , or roll with it .?
Sex is like riding a bike . My uncle taught me when I was a boy -Jimmy Carr-
Pic for attention

Nothing beats a top down run on a nice summer night. Go for it.

Top down.

And, bring a hat for the nice lady because she may want a spin.

A woman shouldn't care what you're driving (unless the car screams "barely employed"). A lot of woman do like to see that you're doing reasonably okay financially.
However, a Porsche could make a statement either way:

He's got taste and can afford the finer things

or

flashy showoff

Maybe Dixie will speak up - but she's also a car girl and may lean towards the P car....

Top down. Makes you unique, shows you have interests, and can pay your bills.

Bonus points of you don't utter, "so, are we gonna have sex?"
That's a mood killer that always receives a, "negative, Ghost Rider." Haha (but seriously, don't do that.)

How hot is it?

Arriving top down and sweaty is not a good look, even in a porker.

For a first date I'd take the "Sanford and son work truck". And just be yourself. Good luck

Porsche - A little too small to have sex in, but you have sex as soon as you get out...

Do what you would have done anyway and your good attitude about doing whatever you wanted will show itself and make a better impression than a 40-year old smelly car ever could.

I'd have no problem taking the Porsche, but I would park it around the corner in an inconspicuous spot.
I would not park it right in front, as if showing it off.

Tonight is not about what you drive. If she sees it, it should be no more than an afterthought.
If she asks/talks about it, I would downplay it and try to change subjects.
It's about her, not what you drive.

I haven’t dated for 32 years, but I think this is good advice.

I say take the Porsche for one simple reason: It's fun to drive!

Hope your time with her is fun for you both.

I really like the idea of using the daily driver for a first , second, third (?) date; surprise her with a ride in the drop-top 911 - that she doesn't even know you own - for a nice long drive on a warm evening, after the first slumber party.

Or, present her with a pretty scarf in a long box wrapped with a bow; imagine Grace Kelly.

Be yourself - which includes NOT hiding your car.

So it's a PORSCHE....BIG DEAL!

See how that works?

Ask her questions about HER and HER life......and be a good listener during conversation.

Women are attracted to guys who are confident, smart, with a good sense of humor. Clean with good hygiene. Well-mannered but also not afraid to relax and be themself.

What you drive doesn't amount to a hill of beans - as long as you and her are comfortable. Meaning - don't drive like a freaking maniac! You can do that when she's not around!

You drive a 911 because you're a PASSIONATE person - without passion you're nobody. Soak it all in and have fun. If it happens it happens. If it doesn't it doesn't. Sun gonna still come up tomorrow and you're still gonna be the luckiest guy in the world...regardless of what anyone else does.....
