Sure, there are some exceptions, but I'd wager that, on any given day in any given U.S. city, if you pulled-over 100 women driving a $40,000 or more sports car and asked them, that a good 80% would indeed admit that the wheels were either owned or bought by hubby.
See, it's the women's version of the whole 'trophy wife" deal.

I am not married, and I bought my own car. I try hard not to make assumptions about people based on their looks, material possessions, or their location. Wouldn't it be nice if everyone got to know someone before passing judgement? Also, life is very short, and we could die tomorrow. Why not enjoy life while you are here? If you enjoy driving a muscle car, classy luxury car, jacked-up truck, or any other type of vehicle, more power to you.

Default men, when you see a woman with an expensive sports car, what do YOU think?

What do men think when they see a woman driving an expensive sports car?

Or with any expensive item or accessory?

I have a $100+k luxury sports car (and have 2 other cars) and live in a pretty expensive home. Most comments made by strange men usually run towards, "What does your husband do for a living?"

Implying, of course, that I couldn't have gotten any of this myself (which I did). This usually really makes me angry...but an eye roll usually suffices.

Comments?

Women, how do you feel about the fact that many men will assume anything nice you have is because some man earned the money for it and gave it to you?
My very first thought is she has been married more than once and is living off the proceeds of a couple rich ex-husbands. Some years ago, I dated a couple women like this, and they both were rather proud of the fact that they took their husbands to the cleaners.

She gets facials and massages regularly bc they had to move back overseas (instead of retiring) so my father could find work. In Turkmenistan, her massages and facials cost less than 40 dollars a week. I am trying to help them all I can, because I don't feel like a 70 year old man should be overseas working. He should be relaxing and playing golf and taking care of his health.

I don't want to *prove* anything with this thread...except perhaps that no matter your sex (man or woman), a lot of people will think stupid and negative things about you just bc you like nice cars.
So what kind of cars do you have?

Not these days. Women have careers too. However if she's like 18 - 21...some type of daddy must have bought it for her. Or if she's really old blue hair then she either married well or comes from a wealthy family. I actually like to see single women in sports cars. lol
