"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I personally love them.

06 models will bring (or allready have brought) convertibles. Most of them redisigned to follow the Peugeot trend of the hardtop. Ford Ka's and Focus will come in. Opel's Tigra, Smart, Nissan's Micra... lot's of 'em. Just 2 years ago if you wanted a hardtop convertible you had to go with pricy ones like Mercedes. Now, you've got -20,000 convertibles.

Although, just by looking at them, you can't compare a nissan 350z with a micra convertible.

Fastfood-like cars, agree?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

A Smart Car convertible? I'm imagining a motorized rickshaw.

Pontiac is making the G6 a hardtop convertible. It's the first four seat hardtop droptop in the USA, as far as I know.

A Micra hardtop convertible seems impossible. It doesn't even have a trunk. Where is the top gonna be stored, unless they go Geo Metro and give it a trunk just for the droptop version?

Anyways, convertibles are awesome. Every car should be a convertible.

I think it's a bad choice to make it 4 seats.. its ridiculous. No space at all.

Volkswagen concept C is another one. I'd like to point out to undesputable, and others, that the Micra has a moon roof when it's covered. Concept C too.

What I didn't like about the Micra one is the 4 seats... dumb. I'd rather have a bigger trunk, and more space.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I'm excited for the Pontiac Solstice. Base model is under 20,000 and there is a turbocharged 240HP version coming out :-D

You lucky Euro :mad:

Also the 350z Roadster looks terrible with the top up, down it looks hot. And this is coming from a 350z super fanboi fanatic.

I think there need to be more cars with t/targa tops. I love them on my Camaro. It's like 2/3rds of a convertable without the huge loss in structural rigidity.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Have you guys seen the new Ford Mustang convertables? They can't make enough of em right now and the plant that makes them is operating 24hrs a day! There is a 1yr wait if you order a GT convertible model (GT has a V8 engine) I am working for that Ford plant temporarily and see em everyday, they make me drool :)

I use to work at an exotic car rental shop out her in LV. We had a Lambo Murcielago spyder and a 360 spyder. I have to say the Lambo has go to be the hottest convertable on the planet...period. but few people can afford the 425K price tag behind it :eek:

My personal favorite convertable is the m3, classy but cool and my favorite overall car is the SRT 8 Charger.

sigh, won't be getting any new rides besides this used S10 I'm looking at to stow my Box 5 R1 in the back of.
