Did anyone ever consider that girls, well the smart ones anyways, don't care about what "car" so much anymore?
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.

) 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.
