Depends on the girl ... Marvin is like champagne - palatable to just about every women ... Barry is more like a nice merlot, not all of them will totally appreciate it, others will love it and appreciate the sophistication. Can't really go wrong w/ either though.

I would say you need to kinda test the waters gently at first w/ that one .. give her some strong, but controlled throttle getting on the freeway and see how she reacts. If she rolls her eyes or has a look of terror, back off and give her a "sorry" while grinning devilishly (even if she didn't like it, she'll award you bad-boy points) ... if she smiles I think it's safe to assume the girl digs a little speed. side note: these girls are truly a blessing from above .. statistics show they are responsible for 95% of all sex in cars My girl is one of these, practically every time she rides in my car she comments on how much she loves the vibrations through the seat

just go home, flush a bunch of cash down the toilet, stab yourself with a sharp object, and maybe bash a bottle on your forehead. You'll be left with the same end result...

not that I'm bitter or anything

Never have I picked up a girl because she liked my car. But then I've always driven old used cars or non-chick magnet cars. Even the 911 cannot be considered a chick magnet. Like my wife says, the only ones who look twice at old 911s are old guys and Porsche fanatics so she has nothing to worry about.

Wow, very detailed Brandon. Thanks. Just the type of info I was looking for, One more question, what's the best driving style (with the ladies in the car)? Do I baby the car like it was a Cadillac, or do I "floor it"? Sorry, I'm a bit new at this.
Niether. If you baby it, she will think it is your Dad's (think scene from Ferris Bueller)..if too agressive, she will think you are punk, high schooler, or redneck....just trying to show off. Just drive purposefully and confidently. Save the hard driving for later (with only one girl in the car)...after you have established rapport...after she trusts you enough so your driving will not scare her....and getting her excited might lead to something (besides, there is nothing more emaculating than getting a ticket or having a traffic accident). Even then, look for an appropriate situation and only show her a little. Hard acceleration where appropriate..on-ramp, etc). You don't want to be competing with 5.0 Mustangs for loud, rubber burning vibes. Be patient. Keep a little mystery working. You want to be somewhat sophisticated to get what you want. The last thing you want her to know is that you are just a horny young punk trying to capitalize on your cool car. Even if you are.

In this situation, the car should just be a small piece of the puzzle. In fact, other than being the gentleman and offering a ride....be nice, but don't be desperate. In fact, friendly, but a bit alloof works well. Although women like somewhat agressive guys, they don't want one that is a social reject without other feminine opportunities...looking for that big break. Most are competitive and would obviously rather feel that you selected them from a plethora of other hotties that would all love your company.
Most of all, don't talk too much...and as little about yourself as possible.

Strangely enough, the best way to get girls (after high school, of course)...is pay attention in college. Read/Learn everything you can. Keep in shape. Travel and try everything...Pretty soon you will be more interesting than your car (at least to women)....and have more opportunities than you have time. Life is a marathon, not a sprint. Although getting lucky tonight seems of ultimate importance now, getting lucky every night from now on is a better goal.

Back to education. Finances/lifestyle will help also. Money can't buy love, but it sure provides one the freedom to seek it with more time/tools.

....
Good advice, except not for the age group targeted. Play neither if you are picking up a college girl. They will think it is your Dad's car. Play something age appropriate...that would be widely listened to/popular for their age...The whole idea is to make them feel safe and comfortable with you. Besides, they are not stupid. the only reason a teen would play that styuff is to get lucky. Don't be so obvious. Use the mood music later...in small doses..till you find out what they like.

Thanks for all of the helpful and comic responses (esp. 87coupe, fintstone, and tabs). Interesting story, Lubemaster. By no means am I looking for "hookers" or any of those types of girls, but someone to get along with. BTW, just got back from another rock hunt today. Lots of interesting sedimentary rocks up on the twisties. I have now mastered driving in the Canyon! Back to girls... I was originally thinking maybe trying to be nice and offering them a ride would work to meet them. I'm not really that social, so it's harder than usual for me.

BTW, college girls don't date HS guys. Girls will date older guys, but almost NEVER the other way around.

And (god, it hurts me to type this)... tabs had some good advice. Don't try to be something you aren't (a suave James Bond type, a ladies man), and just talk treat them the way you treat your buddies. Where most guys go wrong is outwardly TRYING to impress women.

You'll drop more money on a less than sure thing dating. Don't under estimate the working girl, seems like us shlepes in corp USA take it in the pooper for much less with zero control than a hooker. You want someone to talk to? visit a nursing home.

Make yourself a better person...that way, being yourself will not be a bad thing. On the other hand...don't be a doofus and scare them away.

If you can act older than 12 (the typical college boy's level) you can score with college girls...Even at 16. I dated mostly college girls in high school. If you can keep from getting drunk or trying to molest them for 10 minutes, they will find you refreshing. At worst they will become friends and hook you up with their younger sisters (feminine companionship is good..even if you don't actually get lucky). If the girls your age see you hanging out with cute older girls...they will really think you are hot property.

Stay away from hookers. They most likely have worse problems than you that they may share.

IMHO, wait till you get married to have sex....A home run can wait...you will have a lot of fun on base hits.

I think my problem is actually acting 30 years old at heart. I swear, I'm really serious. Even my sister who is 30 tells me to loosen up. Lol. Ever seen "Weird Science"? I think I'm a good example of Wyatt. In fact, I'm an excellent example of Wyatt's personality. The root of my problem is just being too serious and too awkward around girls combined.

I think Demi Moore has made it acceptable for women to date younger.
