In case people forgot what it was like back in the dating age, women like shiny things. They might not know if its a V6 or a V8 or if its a limited rare edition, what it's quarter mile times are, but if its in good shape and looks good it goes a lot further than a nice charming guy who's single with no kids who drives a busted minivan. Its just as important as dressing well and being in physically good shape. It subjectively means you're financially in good shape and that goes much further than you think.

The operative word here is "stories".

Or maybe it should be copulation. Many younger couples aren't interested in procreating these days.

And nothing says copulation better than a "penis car" such as a Corvette or Jaguar.

I once knew a man who drove Corvettes, had two. Never married, had no interest in women (though not gay, either).

Nope. I have never bought a vehicle to impress women, I buy vehicles for *me* and I don't give a rip what a woman thinks of them. I even picked up chicks driving a 20 year old pick-up that was completely missing the right front fender, and the rest of which was rust held together with Bondo and bailing wire (OK, a slight exaggeration...but not much).

That is all.
I wish I could rep you 1000 times for this post.

I always found if I was trying to impress a lady my shining personality was the way to go.
