Smokin' hot Shaun. You're my hero!



Oh I meant the longhood... ;)

Take the 930. Put on side 1 of Led Zeppelin IV.

If you really want to know what she's made of, pick her up in a cab and then halfway there take the bus.
Just tell her your vehicle is on the Fritz.
Dress sharp though.
Report back.

Take the Porsche or forever give up the man card.

Hmmmmmm, my POS cabriolet has been with me longer than my former marriage......it and my three kids are discussed on every date negotiation.....they are the only stable things my life.

When I was single :rolleyes: I had this exact dilemma.

I met her at the resturant and we had a fun time and I offered to drive her home.

Earlier that day I had to decide on what sort of guy I am; a nice sensible guy in a Corolla or a wanker in a Porsche.

We walked a couple of blocks and she saw the 911 and said "Wow I love those cars." Not knowing it was my car. I said "You discreetly look up and down the street and if I can get it started I'll drive you home in it."

She thought this was REALLY funny when after about 5 minutes she figured out it it was actually my car.

Rodeo all the way!

Wearing nice shoes is a good tip.

alas the air cooled stigma. Life is good.

Hmm. Never thought about this as I bought my car after I got married.

But around here I think the average woman has little interest in cars other than as fashion accessories (heck, most non-car guys are like that, too). Most people will look at your 930 as either: an old car--too bad you can't afford something newer, a Porsch (one syllable), or as some sort of penis compensation. As none of those is particularly favorable, I'd opt for the Rodeo. Let her find out about your enthusiasm for cars through getting to know you, whether it's through conversation on the first date or later on.

edit: Oh yeah, we still need a pic of this girl.

Drive the Porsche, dont be a p-ss

So ???? Howditgo ???

99% of women couldn't care less about a Porsche and if anything it will send the wrong message. Take your DD since its all about the date. There will be plenty of time to introduce her to your hobbies if the date goes well.

you'll be a douche if you take the Porsche. That's like a 3rd-4th night (after she knows you) kind of deal.....Save the ammo for later.

Just take the rodeo, throw the french fries out and the big gulp cups and the hair clip's and other women's bras and panties and toss in trash, and wash truck real nice.

What do you think??? You have a rodeo and a Porsche. The Porsche isn't the highest level of luxury car in the world, but it's definitly nicer than the Rodeo. If you show up in the Porsche and she finds out you have the Rodeo later on, she'll know you made the choice to impress her. Taking the Rodeo will demonstrate a bit of humility and show a bit you're not interested in impressing anybody with material things. If you had a Bently instead of the Porsche and showed up in it instead of the Rodeo, what do you think she would think? Of course if you had the Bently, you probably wouldn't have the Rodeo. Have fun whichever your choice is.

I remember the 1st time I took my ex out in my 911, after about a month or so of dating (I had a new 5 series tho)

She hated it. The impression is that they are "luxurious" and she just didn't get it. Until hammered the brakes and almost put her through the windshield, LOL. It was way too butch for her tastes. They were built in an era when that was fun. These days they want quiet and cushy and blingy.

A Porsche would be like taking her out horseback....It's too noisy to deal with. You should focus on the date, and getting some you know.

If the 930 is "definitely nicer than the Rodeo" then why would you not take the Porsche?

Given a choice for a date, wouldn't you wear "nicer" clothes, go to a "nicer" restaurant or take a shower so you smell "nicer"?

I don't understand everybody's mania for looking boring or like you're not trying. Shouldn't you be trying to impress this person, just a little bit?

Been married a long time so it's been awhile since I've been on a date, so what do I know. All I'm saying is, the people who are telling you to wait for the third date to take the 930 are assuming that there will be one if you drive the Rodeo on the first :D

Cheers

d.

What does she drive? Car hygiene?

I'm still chuckling about the Rodeo ....sex :D

I've been here too many times.

Picking her up? Rodeo probably as most woman are not that impressed with our old stinky cars.

If you are meeting her somewhere park the 930 away from the building and walk her to her car at the end of the night. If she happens to see you (or hear you) pulling out of the parking lot she might be impressed that you didn't try to show off the car.

To the former, run run run! The girls that latch onto a guy because he drives a Porsche will eventually give you the same reaction as finding a large spider dropping from the ceiling at you. I loved my yellow 944, but it attracted a lot of little shelobs. I prefer my black and dark blue ones in that they blend in better.

As for the advice, +1, don't worry about the car. Just make sure its clean which ever you take.

My thoughts exactly. Hope you took the Porsche - no brainer. You own one, it's a nice car, it's what you are or you wouldn't own it.

I hear my wife on the phone all day long to her single girlfriends....If you take the 930, all her friends in a six state radius will hear about it (and nothing else) with-in a hour of her getting home.

Where do you want this relationship to go? If you want something quick and easy, drive the 930. If you want to see what she's really made of, drive the Japanese VW....

Back in the day of Rice and Roses I had this dilemma with a Celica Alltrac vs. smelly work truck. I chose the Celica which was low key to me but she was a farm girl who'd only driven Toyota pick ups and it was funny hearing stuff like..

"This car is so low, how do you see out of it?"

"Wow, this car has some beans." (after boosting it up a bit to make a green light)

"This car is smooth in corners."

I must've made the right choice as we're still married 10 years later. Still have the Celica and it has a spot on the cowl below the windshield where some white shoe polish specks still reside from our wedding drive-off. I refuse to wash them off.

Yawn and mow my lawn
 

She's probably into vanquish's anyway.:D

Honest answer is that you have two really horseschit first date cars, albeit for different reasons. Head down to Enterprise and rent a new car for the night. Almost anything will do, as long as it's nice/new and non-descript. You don't want your car to make any impression one way or the other, women judge us by a lot of strange criteria that makes no sense to men.

Believe it or not, if you had a date with some "10" of any age in L.A., a new Prius is what you'd want. It's the best-selling vehicle in CA., (I schit you not), and it says all the right things. I.E., "I care about the environment/I can afford a new car/I'm not some creep driving a weird car to front something..."

Otherwise drive the Rodeo for sure. I can't imagine a worse car for a first impression than some 1980s status symbol with huge flairs and wings, etc.. Even a new 991 would not be a great car for this purpose. It says that you have a little $$ or credit but also says insecure or a wannabe playboy. It sucks but I've found out through direct recon that a Porsche is a big turn-off for most women. :cool:

doesnt matter what you drive on that first date..

just make sure whatever it is, it is clean inside and out.

clean the house too!! (just in case). take down the old tube socks you use as towels, and pull out that hermetically sealed bag of matching towels out and lay them out proudly. i'd change the sheets just in case too..!!

Yes, because nothing says, "I'm rich", like a 30 year old Porsche. :rolleyes:

Depends. Pretty sure the vast majority of Jay Leno's cars are not exactly new...but try buying one of them if you're not "rich."

And FWIW, I never think about which car I should drive to a first date (though, I'm married now, so I better not be driving ANY of my cars to a first date...). I drive what I feel like driving. Gold diggers are easy enough to spot if you're not completely retarded; don't let that hinder you having fun with whatever flavor car you're in the mood for that evening.

take the porsche. if she asks about it, "it's a vw"

Wait, a first date and this girl is letting you pick her up at home? Major red flag there... if you're just meeting somewhere, why make such an issue of it. She probably won't see your car, anyway.

And why is that a major red flag? I know some women today are quite skittish about this because of the "creepers" amongst us...but some people like the old skool traditionalism of picking a lady up at home. From what I gathered from the OP, it seems like they already know each other, anyway.

Most women I know consider an old Porsche a cramped, uncomfortable, and noisy car with no interior door handles.

Whatever you do don't take dating advice from anyone here... :p

No kidding. He'd do better in the penitentiary. :D

wear your baggy pants real low

CL date? Paranoid MOFOs.....blocked emails, cell numbers and fake names.....but I did tell them my name was Dueller......

So after all this speculation...

Details. Details. About the date.

Which car did you take...what was the convo?!

...kids today, no follow through...

Seriously?

We really are slowly morphing into the Honda Civic BBS...

Well, after telling him to drive a Rodeo over a 930...;)

From a practical standpoint the 930 is good for show... but the Rodeo... has a more comfortable ride... nod, nod, wink, wink...
