One of the young girls at work has a 2011 Challenger. I was talking to her about the car. A guy she works with had no idea about cars. She was a total car nut and this guy didn't have a clue. Many of the women that I work with drive high end cars. Mostly BMW's and Mercedes Benz sprinkled in with a few vetts, Porsches, and even some Mini's. With the Mini it can go either way as a guy or girls kind of car. I have seen guys opt for the S version of the car. Still I doubt that someone can say a person is this kind of person or that kind of person because of the kind of car that they drive at least in my part of the world. People drive what they want to drive.

In other words, brand driven women likely to have cosmetic surgery.

And typically they can just afford it! Not that someone driving a 10 year old Civic can't, but typically that is not the case.

i'd add that for younger girls to be into cars it helps if their parent(s) are as well. I'm an old school car guy, my wife has always enjoyed her cars and modded them and loves driving our s2000 now; and our daughter not only is planning on turbo'ing her car but married someone who has a 500hp s2000 and she loves when they take their group's cars to the track in WI for import days to run them (includes a 10 second civic among others). She will only drive a manual and works on her car.
Now THATS how to raise a young lady!

Though I have to admit it was weird a few years ago for both of us to be cruising side by side on the strip that i used to hang out back in the 80's...

Women who drive supercars of the performance type like a Corvette, 911, etc. are either lesbians or have daddy issues. Same as wearing a 2 button blazer and a necktie. I just go . . . Ok . . . . Opposite end of the same spectrum as seeing the guy driving a white VW convertible with a plastic flower on the antenna. . . . OK . . . . I get it.

Interesting juxtaposition of two cars that occupy two completely different market segments. The Prius is a boring transportation appliance that your grandma picks up groceries in, in contrast the MINI is a true driver's car with 50 years of racing heritage. I'm a guy who drives a Cooper Works MINI, I feel sorry for Prius (Pious?) drivers...

For the woman. Is what you buy an extension of who you feel you are? I'm sure the lions share of woman and men out there just look at it from a transportation stand point. Chime in too if thats the case.
I've always owned coupes. I think sedans are for people with kids or spouses or both. Plus I Iike the way coupes handle corners better than sedans....well, the ones I've driven in my price range. I like the financial practicality of a car under $25,000 but the fun of a sports coupe.

ROTFLMHighPerformanceBO. Really. I laughed out loud. I guess I've got some of them daddy issues since he was asking me to hand him a wrench when I was still in diapers. What was he thinking? He's also the one who paid for me to do a week up at the Bondurant school. Yeah. Definitely blaming it all on Daddy.

(Thanks, Dad!)
