Have you come up with some good answers for the what do you do, make how much?
What I do typically gets "I'm a scientist" and how much I make typically "I do okay." Not really a scientist but my undergrad was computer science and typically the kind of people that ask the question will hear scientist and not ask anything further lol.
Funny story; soon after buying my gallardo I was at a car show and a Ferrari driver made fun of me after asking if I'd ever driven on the track; answer was no, he said that's typical of Lamborghini owners. That piqued my interest so I took the car on the track, loved it, and next thing you know I work my way up to full racing events. So the Chicago guy definitely could have been me but then I learned to drive. I never take the street cars on the track anymore though, just this:
A lot of Wall Street guys tell me that an Audi is it, but I'm wondering how it can be better than an American car such as a Vett, Camaro, or Mustang if they have less HP and look dopey. Why spend the extra $$$ for less performance?
I laughed at this post. Those may be 'Ladies Man' cars if you are working 'at the mill', but not really considered refined. As others have said, a car does not define you ability with the ladies, unless the ladies are incredibly shallow.
That said, owning a German sedan doesn't make you smooove either. But I won't lie, I know more than a couple ladies who would like to be driven around in an upscale Mercedes...if its the ladies car, they want the top to come off.
As silly as the OP question seems on the surface, there is some validity to what he is asking. A single guy who drives some beat up old ladies car is going to put out a certain image, and as we all know, whether some people will admit it or not, women are image driven. (Oh, yeah, they all SAY they just want a nice guy but if that nice guy lives with Mom and drives a Neon, he is going to be sleeping alone for a long, long time. )
When I was single I had my GTO's and other cars like that, but the one that I used for nightclubbing was a Bonneville Brougham 4 door. That was in the 60's and it gave me the appearance of having more money than I really did..........and if there is one thing women love more than a nice guy it is MONEY !
I know someone will say all the above is BS, but if you think all those NBA guys get the hot chicks because women are into basketball I have some swamp land I would love to talk to you about. Therefore, my advice to the OP is to get yourself the nicest luxury car you can afford, be it an Audi, Lexus, Caddy, etc.

I think you speak the truth Don. It was a bad deal as a teen being able to afford and buy a car...only to find that many girls didn't want to be seen in something that wasn't cool.
The Most Interesting Man in the World could get any woman he wants while riding a scooter.
