LMAO...Tokyo Drift much?

ALWAYS! But really, the driver is everything.

What the hell does driving skills have to do with picking up women? LOL

Haha, the interior of my current car is spotless...ZERO stuff in it. However, most of the women I work with have crap piled to the ceiling in the back of theirs. It becomes a problem when it's their turn to drive for lunch. :p

I actually just bought a very nice car - I pick it up next weekend. Not to attract girls with, but because I was tired of driving a dented junker with mechanical problems and no A/C, and I wanted something "nice" for once. I wouldn't really want any woman who was after me because of the car I drove anyway.

Most people that have seen the pictures assume I spent a fortune on it - but the truth is, it only ended up costing me about as much as a midlevel Mazda 3.


And what is it that you bought? Old Bimmer?

Bah. Lucky guess. ;)

Well, it certainly gives them a glimpse into the size of your bank account....... which could be a good or bad thing. But anyway, if a women is really concerned about how much money you're making/what car you drive, better idea to forget about her anyway.

This isn't even necessarily true. How many posts have we seen on here where someone fresh out of college wants to buy a car costing 2x their yearly salary? It's easy to give a false initial impression of how much you make if your willing to take on a ton of debt.

Damn, 2x? They're friggen poor.

Or maybe we just want to save our money for other things than an "A to B" device? Not all of us like cars that much.

Sorry dude.


That order is way off.

I think it goes

1. Bank account
2. House

The other ones are completely irrelevant. Gold diggers just want to move in and spend your money. They need to be properly disposed of with pimp-like efficiency.

But buses are big and expensive, and trains are even bigger!

Chicks love a guy who flosses around on a train.

My position as a guy is, if its my car, it's got to look good. It may not be sexy but it won't be ugly, dirty, or dilapidated. People are always surprised to find out what year it is because it looks so damn new.

:thumbsup:

Nope, auto :(. When I started looking, I found that they are amazingly hard to find in a 6-speed, and even harder to find in great shape with a 6-speed. My first mod will be the Dinan transmission chip. :D

True. It is extremely rare to find a girl that knows anything about cars. Heck, most guys have no real knowledge of cars either.

Haha is that an 850? My dad almost bought one, but instead went with a merc at the time. He now drives a 540i which is great fun. (I havent got my license yet here in Hong Kong)

As far as gas goes over here, its about $1.80 US per liter.. so...thats about $7.20 US for one gallon. haha and you guys think you have it bad! geeze. This car goes through gas like nothing. But ohhh so much fun!

Actually it's an 840. I decided against an 850, because if anything ever went wrong with the V12, it would kill me. The V8 in the 840 is much more common, parts are cheaper, it's easier to work on, it weighs a little less, and it gets slightly better mpg. The performance doesn't quite match the V12, but it's a much better choice, all things considered (IMO).

For some reason, I get the impression that most hot women are shallow, and like men who have nice cars.

i dont know about you guys, but im a red blooded male, and i see hot women as a good thing, even if they are shallow.

that being said, some things in life just arent worth the trouble. Guess it depends on how bad a guy wants to bang the women that look really good.

I'm curious too, as I'm not sure whether to buy a 5k, 10k, or 20k car (and use up all my savings ~_~)....
