Answer 3:
LOLOLOLOL!!!!

Sorry AC but sports cars in general are just silly to me. And so is my impression of the people who drive them. I would date a guy with a regular Toyota, Hyundai, Honda and the likes over the one with a flashy sports car anyday.

I wouldn't. I enjoy cars and I would want to date someone who understood that and shared a common interest. I also wouldn't want to date someone who judged people by what kind of car they drive.

I get where you are coming from. When I met my guy he had a sport bike and a new Golf. It wasn't the cars that I found interesting but his "pride in ownership", he truly loves vehicles, takes immaculate care of them and for me it was knowing that if he showed that much pride in something like a car, it must follow through in other areas and, I was right. It does. There were a couple of times I met a guy with a crappy car and it followed through in their personal life, crappy apartment / home, sloppy, etc... Pride in ownership says a lot about a person. Just my own personal opinions.

Go get a job and get your own nice things, you selfish harpies.

I'll tell my man what to drive all day, every day if we are married and have combined finances. There are much more important things in life than driving a car that makes you feel good - especially an expensive car. Now, if the couple has an extraordinary amount of money to spare, then it's not going to harm anything, but an average couple/family cannot afford the payments, insurance, and upkeep on that kind of car.

I find the bolded part interesting... Is that projection? No one said anything about making sure he buys her nice things or her not having a job. Hmm...you pulled that out of thin air.

Yes they did! Go back and see where that one poster talked about how it wasn't 'compensating' as long as he could also provide her all those other nice things first.

Of course I am talking about after all the finances are settled and all the basic needs met. No one should own anything they can't afford at the expense of basic needs and common interests and goals of the family. What I gathered from that post especially (and from other women I have talked to who resent their husbands' cars) is that they'd rather have that money and attention lavished on them.

Wow. So much hate, generalization and just robust ignorance in this thread...also a lot of sticky violations. <sigh>

1) To the OP, if you don't own a house yet....save money towards a downpayment and THEN look at getting a toy. I spent 2k on a set of tires this spring so know what you are getting into. I had my house pretty much paid off and kids college taken care of prior to buying one. Prior to that my 2 cars were a combined 19 years old.

2) There were some very immature and unitelligent posts about how the car means the person is a jerk or old or impotent blah blah blah....which makes me even more content in my position that I really don't care what other people think.

P.S. Silver 2007 Z06, paid cash, hate away.
