Hey, if, as the OP stated, he is perfect in every way but. . . yes I would do it. If he was missing several of the qualities I'm looking for and driving that car? No.

Seems like you may be just another material person.
Quality of character and feelings dont count. Only the bank account matters.
I wish you well and hope you someday find out what is really important in life.

Moody Blues would definitely be worth using some guy just for his car & music.

But doing it in the back seat of an 82 Chevette to Ozzy Osborne would be something to tell the grandkids about.

About a year ago I met a really great guy in my office building & I thought everything about him was as good as it gets.

Then I saw him pull into our office parking lot in his old red hoopty....

I immediately knew that he was somebody that I wanted to get to know more! I love a man that's confident enough to drive a hoopty & doesn't need a nice car to define who he is. Turns out he's still in law school & doesn't want to get riddled with debt over a superficial upgrade. As long as your car can still get us from A to B I do not care what it looks like.

I had a 1988 Volvo that I drove for years & years while I had a great income & people would rag on me about it. I would just smile & say "I know this car is going to take me where I need to go". I didn't mean from A to B necessarily. I meant that while my friends spent their extra income on car payments & higher insurance I was traveling the world, saving for a house that I was able to buy at age 22 & saving for my Land Rover that is PAID FOR.

So when I see a hoopty & a hot man, I'll take him over the corvette guy any day of the week.

We all know it sounds shallow to say "dump him" for his car. It either reflects his economic status, taste in cars, or a funny quirckyness. I think if you really like him, get to know him first. It really says more about who you are than him.

Ahhhh...the memories. I used to drive a yellow Chevette when I was in high school. Do you know how much I could get away with on the highway with that car today. Go ahead....I dare you to crash into me while talking on your cell phone....go ahead!

You're not kidding--I and my family were able to travel around the world for 11 months on money that we saved from not making a car payment. I don't mind driving an embarrassing car if it means I can travel more. I've been to many other places as well and have never made a car payment.

My aunt had this theory that how a guy treats his car is how he'll treat his wife. If he has to keep getting the newest and latest car, he'll want the same in a woman - the newest and latest. If he maintains and takes care of his car, he'll do likewise with his wife. But if he abuses his car and figures he can just replace it easily with a better one, he'll have that same attitude toward women.
