i like the second half of that last post YTA. and you are right when you say some women will jump on a man just because of a classy or plain expensive ride...you are also right that those are usually the WRONG kind of girl, especially for our AG who appears to want a real, human relationship and not just a shag in the back of a bentley... and some women find that jeep padre talks about as "hotter" than all the ferraris in town. to sum it up we (girls) are a surprisingly varied bunch of people, with varied tastes and turn ons. my dad was a high-performance car lover too. he didn't do it to pick up girls, he was happily married (and yes i know that isn't provable here but it is a fact(...and loved especially italian sports cars. he bought one, but as he had a friend who ran the local dealer in such creations, he traded it for another, which he traded for another, and so on, only ever paying for the first one! so i grew up riding in bugattis, ferraris, lancias and one lotus too...in those days it was a lot easier to find an unsupervised stretch of road and really drive such a car. this gave ME a taste for such jewels of the road...but my daughter has an eye for cadillacs which i loathe. just saying, i think the thoughtful part of your approach probably is the most effective, especially if you want a REAL woman and not an insecure ho!

I don't doubt that, Katatonic. But I care only about one woman, who share my gearhead propensities and my tastes in automobiles. For our 10th wedding anniversary, she found, bought and restored to perfection for me (secretly, of course with my money lol) a 1963 230SL, the year I was born. We also had a 1988 Testarossa, but that V12 needed constant pampering and was a money sinkhole, and my neighbors naturally hated it whenever I started it up. It was way too wide, and was a pain to fit into my garage. I gave it up after four years. IP: Logged |

now THAT is a nice merc. don't care for most of them! though they run forever .. but if i were to buy one it would be that exact car.i was actually surprised when my daughter bought her first car, an el dorado coupe (89)...it handled really well. still not my idea of a car, i like to feel the road and i like a real gearbox! but it was much tighter than i expected, on a windy beach road at that. your obvious love for your wife is most endearing, ian. congrats on finding the right woman. though you sound in many ways like someone who was bound to do so! yes the hot ones are money pits, though some more than others. there's a lot to be said for a car that gives its all, and runs no matter what, too.

Of course I've not owned the higher end things as YTA has..he's YTABUT, owned several classic muscle cars and have to say of all of them, the most enjoyable of them all was a RX-3 Just a fun car to drive, few things like revving a rotary engine up to 12,000 rpm and dumping the clutch..fun stuff As for the Jeep, what made mine fun was going off road, with the top down, at night up the mtn side.
