If you worry about the car you are driving on a date, she will pick up on those vibes, bad date. Drive what you want to drive. If you are driving what you want, comfortable and having fun, she will pick up on those vibes. Good date.

Comfortable = confidence = better chance your date will like you, with or without spark.

what I'd do is ask your date- do you like red or black? She'd choose a color (red...for example). "Great l'm bringing white."
Show up with the truck with the red pcar on the trailer.

Make her sit in the white truck all night, and if things are going well, drop the red car on the ground and go for a spin.

As you drop the trailer back to lower the car, casually state... "you know...You are special. I really don't do this on the first date...."

Oh man, that is funny.

Seriously Fred, just brush your teeth and go on the date. Doesn't matter what you drive. Unless she's into cars, I bet she wouldn't even noticed. How bad is the S S truck?

100% correct. Odds are she won't know what it is or that it's worth anything anyway. It just plants the seed that you're interesting.

Honestly, the truck would probably work just as well. I recently dated a guy that had a 25yo, faded green, jacked up 4x4 Dodge Ram with no AC. It wasn't exactly my cup of tea, but it made him interesting. He was afraid I'd be put off by it. Instead I had him drive us to dinner in it.

Glad you had a good time. I hated dating back in the day.

One of the best dates was the 1st or 2nd with Vicki. I had a black Z3. We had been out for a casual dinner and on the way home it started raining. If you keep the speed up most of the rain will go up the windshield and right over your head - so we kept the speed up, with Bruce Springsteen blasting out of the rear speakers. We got a little wet, but it was a blast!



A little dating story: my friend David was a brutally honest guy. We had just gotten home from college, and I was hanging out at his house.

The phone rang, and his dad answered.

"David, it's Dr. Rosenstein. His daughter just got home from college. She's bored, and he wants to know if you would like to go out with her tonight."

"Aw, Dad, I just finished a brutal semester. I'm exhausted. All I want to do is get drunk and get laid."

"Dr. Rosenstein? David just wants to get drunk and get laid tonight. Sure, OK. I understand. Perhaps another time."

We still crack up over that one every time we get together.
