With me it's just the opposite, they know that's one of about three things I think about so they run.... far and fast.

There was a bit on TV the other day about how women perceived what men drive. The Vette meant the guy was trying to prove his manhood. Pickups were split between phallic symbols and blue collar he-men, Toyotas were practical. The guys they wanted to eventually marry after they had enough of the bad boys. Mercedes meant the gal had hit the jackpot. Money and practical.

Guess I'll have to get me a Mercedes hybrid pickup...
Oh, wait. I'm married.

I'm not anti-social...and I have YET to see or HEAR about (exception movies, printed stories) some girl liking some dude because of his car.

Just Wondering.


Don't kid yourself, Derek. Seriously. Read about evolutionary biology and psychology with regard to mate selection. Incredibly enlightening stuff. Ever wonder why you see a young, smokin' hot chic on the arm of an older, overwieght balding man? (If you haven't seen such a thing, PM me and I'll send you some of my wedding pics. wink ) Its not necessarily the car, but rather an outward symbol that he can provide for her and her offspring. Pure Darwin and its hard wired into the fairer sex brain. Occurs at a subconcious level.

Serious thread derailment, but still fun nonetheless.

Three strikes I'm out. No fancy car, no good looks, and no money. Oh, well...
