Well, This is bad for me...

A recent study in the UK found out that women find men more attractive if they drive an expensive car. Like I don't have enough trouble finding a date!!! LOL!

That was a stunning, shocking revelation !!

[thered56]

Oh no! I had nooo idea! I think I'll sell my Festiva for an RX-7 now! oooorrr not! haha I'd rather a girl that doesn't look at my car and expect all kinds of money to be spent on her...lol

the material girl syndrome has been with us for quite some time now. when women trade up, they arent talking about cars either.

hey, maybe you can get a gov grant and do your own research here in the states. you might find some shocking data, like the festiva isnt a woman magnet.

[boosted_eclpse]

Wait just a minute! If done right festivas are chick magnets. Hell my next door neighbors wife said both my and my brother festivas are cute. Once I get mine done it wont be cute no more. Its going to be hottttt!!!!!!! A drop on 15's with a jet black paint job. All in all a woman can see creativity unless they are that material women that was stated above.

[MONSOON]

Women have a thing for cute cars also. So theres still hope for you if you do your Festiva up right!

[Biglay5150]

My boss said my car was cute yesterday. I said " Dont EVER use that word when describing my car again" LOL

[FFW]

maybe your boss was coming on to you....

[todd00]

i guess that would depend on the chick. wouldnt have mattered what i had done to my festiva, creative or not, my ex wouldnt have liked it, it wasnt..new and expensive. so of course it depends on the person. still in the long run most women want guys with bucks and driving an expensive car is suppose to be a sign of success.

did you read where it talked about the study done in the states. apparently women would rather be flocking to the most eco-friendly machine, not the sportest. so there maybe be hope for deathegg yet. just stand and brag about that great gas mileage and you got it made. of course they were probably talking about new cars in that usa survey, not vintage classic cute like ours.

women do like cute cars. women might find it cute but would they want to date the guy that was driving it. that would depend on just how superficial they are or arent. in my case, im way past the sold by date, so i havent much hope either way.

Maybe some guys have to drive big expensive cars to compensate for what they lack in other areas.

I'm with fresh on that one....

[festyxfi]

I'm also with Fresh on that one.

I purposely drive cars that women hate, no better way to weed out the ones who will drag you down.

It's theorized that XFi stands for: "eXtingishs Female Interest"...

Agreed! If women don't find your car handsome, they should at least find your work on it handy! To change up a Red Green quote a bit. hehe

well said fresh.....

and also, whats with these "cute" festivas....??????

I drive around town in my festiva with a clown wig on and a big red nose. so I am the funny guy in the little red car around town..

Then, when i have driven my sister-in-law's '02 Mercedes Benz 320 with the top-down.. i have gotten a few more "flirt" looks than i normally do....

But to keep in mind the overall picture.. that FIRST judgement of a man in a whatever car he's in... most girls want the money behind it all so they can blow it... and then the guy in the Ferrari will probably eventually drive the Festiva b/c he can't afford the first b/c of wasting all the money on the lady he got when he drove it.

haha.. interesting and not-surprising study by English across the pond..

[thered56]

Yaaa, I refuse to acknowledge my car as "cute". Fun, yesss! Cute? Well she can think it if she likes the car more for it, just don't say it! lol besides Festiva's have more character! And, Ferrari's are too heavy! haha
