Default girl oppinion time

i always love to weigh in on these threads because you know the original statement was made up by some 'sensible' guy who can't seem to get a girl at all ...

No I do not want to hit on the guy w. the fuel efficient car more than the guy with the sports car. If we're leaving the actual guy out of the equation and I'm picking solely based on car only; I pick the meanist, fastest, sportiest, luxuriest car of the bunch and the prius can bite me

girl 1: "I met this great guy the other day"
girl 2: "oh yea? what's he like?"
g1: "he's really sensible and nice, blah blah cluck cluck cluck blah blah, and he drives a prius."
g2: "oh, so I guess he's not really into spontanious fun then ... "

Don't get me wrong here ... I know people like that who don't like spontanious or surprises, but they would STILL hit on the sports car guy before the prius guy *sigh* not fun people

Hehehe, now that is taking it a little too far though. Maybe the guy takes the Prius on the weekdays and saves the Ferrari for the weekend

I think a more descriptive word is a gold digger...

I bought the car because it could easily be paid off up front and it a decent car with plenty of amenities for a 19 year old. If I really wanted to buy a car to impress girls I would of went with something less popular and pricier like the new M3 or something more sportier like a roadster such as the SLK55 AMG.

That poll must be of women goats. Every time I talk about buying a Mini or Yaris or Prius the girls laugh. These are not gold diggers, but educated, beautiful women.

I think to some women, maybe buying a fuel efficient car means being more responsible but its not "hot" to them.

Amazingly, if you look at some recent Ferrari/Porsche forum threads, they are buying the Prius and its parked next to a Ferrari or Porsche in the garage!

More often than not, girls today have cars of their own, and probably couldn't care less what boys drive.

If you can afford the Ferrari, you can afford the hybrid and Camry too

But with gas prices the way they are, they'll want you to give them a ride everywhere

Hot cars = Super hot chicks

Luxury cars = brainy mediocre looking chicks thats going to run your life for you.

Economy cars = Every chicks got(need) one, the man is better off following todays trend in america by being a mindless, no opinion, nonconfrontational wuss and ask for a ride from a sister or girlfriend. Todays aggresive females like having a mindless male to leash around to give the appearance that they have a boyfriend when they hit the malls. However, dude will have to learn to like sitting alone in the backseat when her friend comes along.

The money saved can be used on booze and/or crack, or for internet services to view **** and play car enthusiasts on car forums.

Now, granted the Prius meets are not quite as big...


And the "microwave," as I call it, is not quite as cool as the Duc...

Hot girls rarely go after "responsible" guys.
