The pitfall for women here is that it's easy to appear much wealthier than you actually are. You can own a Z or even more expensive car (and lots of other bling), and be well into debt (negative net worth) and have no real potential for financial growth via professional prospects, especially in the last 10 years with the liberalization of credit. I have known girlies who were impressed by Bubba driving the hot Stang, and now they live with Bubba and Bubbles in the trailer park with the hot Stang, and always will. The nerd who had nothing, did not show off, worked Friday nights washing dishes, never impressed the girls nor had a girlfriend until age 21, went and got an MBA at Stanford and now is a CEO and worth $20 million over a career.

Very true. Smart chickas will quickly figure out your true value, dumb ones will fall for the superficial bling. there's more of the latter out there than the former though.

this is very dependent on location... In AZ a slick car attracts the skanky hoes and dudes while here in NoDak a big truck gets you the beotchs

I kind of buy this car for that reason. I had an S2000 right before I had my Z so girls always comment on why I always get these tiny cars. I straight out tell them that I dont want kids or a wife and sends that kind of signal out, plus I really like the Z.

What if I buy a small window-less cube van as my daily driver? Practical, affordable and surprisingly fuel efficient. It's perfect for starting up my candy-making business, showing that I'm a self-starter full of synergy, well on my way to success. Would that make me a good choice for a long term relationship?

Girls care about the car you drive.

Women couldn't care less, until you're in a committed relationship and other needs get in the way.

well that is a complete fail statement, because the sexiest cars in the world usually only have 2 seats.

Also, depending on your tastes, some other cars may be better than others.

I thought girls that got picked up by guys driving down the street were hookers and would go with anyone with cash.

Really. How does a guy pick up a girl in a club with a car shows her his key ring? You have to have game in the first place inorder for her to see your car.
