Talking What make car attracts women most?

Personaly I never met a woman because of what I drive, probably because I usually not in my car when I meet a women.
Add that any woman that would be with you because of the car you drive likely isn't worth being with.

So I thougth I would throw this out for some Saturday morning laughs.

Read: Please don't take this seriously.

I used to work with a guy who was conviced that his '99 (or thereabouts) Mustang Cobra made him a babe magnet. Never mind that everybody and their grandmother drives a Mustang.

He's still single and lonely, AFAIK. Oh, and fired.

It all depend what kind of women you want to attract.

A Mercedes will put you in the sugar-daddy category while a Pick-up truck will attract those who like hunting or fishing.

My Volvo work great with those who have a few kids and think I am a very stable guy while my 914 would be perfect if I would be looking for a teenager.

Right after I bought my car I was not even a mile away from the PO's house when a honda with a couple hot young chicks pulled up next to me and were both trying to hang out the window to talk to me. It wouldn't be the last time it happened either.

My ex wife tells me that the few times she drove it exactly the same think would happen to her, but with young men instead.

When I was single I actually got some numbers and went on a couple of dates with some of the more attractive women who got my attention in traffic.

The best advice I can give is that even though the babe magnet effect of a nice car is hard to resist not taking advantage of, when a woman is after you because of the kind of car you drive, RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY !

Edit: Make that SPEED AWAY, SPEED AWAY !

I voted Ferrari.

That said, I think the single greatest contributor to my teenage sex life was the fact I could drive my fathers company 944\951.

I voted Ferrari...my wife says no way, they're ugly and uncomfortable (yea, like she's ever been in one!!). She said Porsche. I'm rather flattered actually.

Interesting, I thought Porsche would be the winner hands down.
Perhaps we are getting more of an opinion of what guys think...
or dream of having.

I can say from experimentally derived data that it probably isn't Porsche -- I attract mostly 10 year old boys. I should have been a priest...

Right after a bought my 911, on the way back fron the dealer, I stopped at the toll both next to two hot babes in a Ferrari convertible. I also had the Targa top down. They looked at me, I looked at them, we both smiled. I will never forget that sensation...

Well there's not exactly a lot of teenagers around here that OWN a Porsche. Either Mom/Dad bought it for them or it's mommy or daddy's porsche.

Volkswagen Beetle. No kidding; women think its "cute" and find it very non-threatening. They think only sensitive guys drive them; guys not wrapped up in their masculenity. I turned my old '71 Super Beetle over to my 16 year old son; he hated it at first and thought I was trying to ensure he would never get a date. After a month of driving it to high school, he took me aside and said "wow, dad, I would have never guessed; this must be the best-kept secret in the automotive world". I told him to keep it under his hat or the prices on the damn things would get even more unreasonable. He loves his little Bug now...

Before marriage? Girls go for the Ferrari guy. After marriage? Volvo Wagon.

Brand new Benz AMG CL55 seems to always say: "I'm having a good year" around here.

Is it OK to bang them first, THEN run away?

Just asking.
