porsche boxster? i disagree.

however, i strongly agree with vw beetle.

guys shouldnt ride around in convertibles, bottom line.

curious to why you think this way?

Upstate NY might be different than sunny Florida where tops are always down. Sorry, but a guy driving around a convertible riding down the beach here is pegged for gay. No guys under 30 would ever think to drive around in a convertible down here and if you have a super nice convertible like a Porsche and you're middle aged then you're a showboating douche bag. 2 guys in a convertible? You might as well ride together on a motorcycle with each other.

The more I think about it I guess I have a shitty outlook on all of this because I don't like the thought of girls in convertibles either. Give me a girl in a jeep any day of the week. First opinion of people in convertibles just come off to me as douche bags or "look at me" type people...

disclaimer: if my gf ever reads this, i'm sorry, please don't break up with me, I like your '07 convertible mustang gt. I don't think you're a douche bag or a "look at me" type person...

Sunfire, Cavalier, New Beetle, Eclipse, Honda Prelude, Jeep Liberty, Civic (everyone drives a Civic, but I see probably more women than men in one)

If someone offered me a Viper convertible I wouldn't say no. However I'd choose the hardtop if possible.

I think of the Honda S2000 as a chick car.

really? I've never seen a girl driving an S2000


ive never met a girl that could drive a standard

Shocking. I am only 22 and have met at least two girls my age who drive stick.

Um, no. I'll concede the Beetle and even the Jetta, though to a lesser degree. But the Passat is not a chick car. Nor is the Golf (not convertible).

i think the new (2006+) civics look girly. the front is too much like a bubble instead of sleeker like the previous body style

VW Beetle- especially in yellow or lime green. Double so with a giant flower in the dash vase.

Most Jettas that guys drive are MkIVs. The MkV is pretty girly. The R32 is not girly. The shag-wagon is not girly. The turbo beetle is not girly.

Wow I never realized how full of shit some of you guys are. "All VW's"? WTF. That is just retarded. The VW's w/ TDI engines are the shit. I have to assume you are all in a trolling mood today or something.

back when they first came out lots of women/ girls drove them. when they made them faster, men started buying them. now its just an addage. one i totally forgot was the old suzuki samurai. i remember in high school every single one i saw was driven by a younger chick.

Wait... you serious?? Is it really that rare for a girl to know how to drive a manual transmission?
Rare to find a girl who's 'good' at it. There are exceptions. I had a gf that might have been better than me - could just about do wheelies in an old z28 I had - and she was a fearless racer.

CRV. My wife drives one...I do not like to drive it when out by myself.

Mustang V6 for sure. I never see guys drive one...except for the occasional douche who puts a fake "GT" on it (is there anything lamer than this?)

That's what I drive. Only the engine has been updated to around 230-250HP (not sure which, I got it used) and the exhaust pipes got a bit bigger.


It's nice. And it's not a chick car!! :|
The pic does have some phallic symbols in the background - can't remember if this is supposed to entice men or women though.
