cars and chicks?

[venser]

a friend of mine (year younger) just got into John Hopkins U, on a water polo scholarship. Needless to say his paretns are pleased as ****. so... they are buying him a car of his choice (obviously within reasonable pricing).

He was talking about it with me while i was reading something on this site and it got me to thinking about the cars and ones girls dig the most.

what do you think? if you could get a car of your choice.. say under...30 or 40 grand? what would it be?

30-40 grand range....I would have to go with the new pontiac soltace or the saturn coupe convertible...I think those two cars for their price range are pimp...coupe, sporty, exotic looks, fast, and not many out there in the road. If not, cannot go wrong with a BMW 3 series or AUDI A4

Now where is poosy magnet?

 

[rockman]

you could get that new 135i BMW. It looks freakin sick

Maybe it's because I'm from teh south, but most of the cars listed are girly cars.

I'd wait until the new Camaros come out...especially they have a stripped-down V8 model with a 5-speed, roll-up windows and an A/C delete...

Girls don't care that much about cars. If you ask them what kind of car they drive, chances are they'll say "a red one" or something along those lines.

As long as you're not rocking a Chrysler minivan with fading woodgrain or a Geo Metro, then you'll probably be ok.

Well if I was a college student parking in tight urban areas and with the cost of gas in mind not to mention insurance, I would go with a new Chevy Cobalt/Pontiac G5/Honda Civic on the low end, or a 4 cylinder midsize like Pontaic G6/Ford Fusion/Accord/Nissan Altima. The Altima is probably the coolest looking choice. I think a 4cylinder mid size gives you the most for your money. For a sport convertible the Pontaic Solistice seems cool but I bet insurance would be high for a college aged person. I think anymore being a college student with a late model car even if it's a base model cobalt is status enough.

Seriously my man, this is the car that you want:
The Alfa Romeo 159.

That's easily one of the sexiest cars money can buy. It's Italian. Italians know their sh*t when it comes to cars. It's definitely the most classy car you can buy in that price range. They are going to use them in the upcoming James Bond film, go figure. Check some more info here. They tested in on Top Gear and loved it. The even the entry level 1.8 petrol engine is nice enough, and the handling is better then all the cars that are mentioned above.


My old man bought one of these, the stationwagen version. I've noticed numerous times chicks checking the car out when we drive by them. I'm not kidding you. I've even had some serious flirting while driving on the highway. Two chicks actually started driving beside me and checking me out. ...or the car I was driving.


I know cars and what people think of them. BMW's are awesome in technique, but they are considered vulgar and too flashy by most people, including myself. All the American cars posted here are cool too, but they are not exclusive or special, not in America at least. It's even worse with the Japanese cars; they lack soul.


Trust me, try one of those out and you'll be hooked. The exterior is like nothing else, the handling is very direct and precise, there are a ton of electonical toys inside... The interior is also just amazingly beautiful.

Why would a person want to get a car for other people to be impressed by?

This guy should the car that he wants. It doesn't matter what we think or what girls think.

buy a mid 60s muscle car, and it wont devalue by half the first 2 years you own it. It will actually gain value.

A 1972 Maverick......with a 6 banger...... ummmmm...yesh

 

[EricInTheHouse]

OOOHHHH A ford granada....1986 with a 6 banger..... yes yes.....

My vote is for a 90's tuner import. Supra, 300zx, rx7, and 3000GT are my favorites. A highly modded one can be had for 10-15K that can deliver 600-800 hp with ease. It's not hard to find a car someone spent $50K on in mods for sale for $15K. I have an AWD twin turbo Stealth that I love; it's much faster than most cars on the road, I think looks better, women love it, and I only paid $8k for it.

If I was in ur mates shoes, I would stay away from all the ricers.  Their value drops everyday and its what most 12year olds dream of having.  Heres my list:
BMW E30 M3
69' Camaro
08' Dodge Challenger
Dodge Ram (pick-up trucks)
or even a Hummer
Range Rover
even a motorbike?
