Cars don't impress me at all. If a guy drives a luxury car, I don't get all excited. I would rather the car be clean, run well, taken care of, etc. An old beat-up jalopy is a little disappointing, but a Lexus isn't going to make me swoon.
I went out with a guy in Australia who drove a Porsche, we picked up a friend of his and the friend asked me: "have you been in a Porsche before?" I thought to myself: "Are you kidding me?", I replied "yes, I have" then went on to the next topic. I wasn't impressed, the cool part was the steering wheel was on the right, now that was cool to see, but just the fact that it was a porsche-so what!!?
Besides financial status, ladys what can you tell about a man by the car he drives?
I can get an indication of his current priorities in life. How he spends his money relative to his income level. If views his car as way to get extra attention or status. And it's interesting as to how he treats the driving experience. I definitely am more attracted to a man that owns a car with a manual transmission and who drives well. Mods that I approve of are legitimate brake and suspension upgrades. A fancier paint job, fancy stereo, a car that is lowered just for looks, blingy rims would be some of the things that would be a negative in my book.
I'm a guy and I think most ladies will agree with me here--------
Most dudes that have gigantic or lifted pick-ups are insecure with themselves and striving to be more macho. Usually trying to compensate for a lack of something in the southern region. That's why they act like jerks when they're out driving!!!!!!!!
My boyfriend and I were out driving around town yesterday morning running errands and we saw a guy driving a brand new 2010 Corvette ZHZ. (My boyfriend thinks maybe it was rented from Hertz since it was Saturday) The guy driving it wasn't the best looking. My boyfriend shook his head and said,"P*nis extenstion."

Yep!!!!!! Couldn't have said it better myself.
Trouble is some women go for guys like that just because of the Car they drive - they think they have moola!!!!!!
My car has brought some girls around and it's a good conversation starter, but that's about the extent of it. I've only had one girl not like it, and that's because the car is loud enough to wake the dead.
depends. When I met my bf he had no car. Even now he drives a piece of crap, but I can't say that I have ever associated him with his money. Of course we're both in college, and any money he had would be from his parents anyhow.
First of all, you can tell less about financial status than you think---and more about financial responsibility. People who are actually well off drive conservative, practical cars. People who are financially irresponsible drive showy sporty cars.
Unless the car is very new, go around and look at the tires. If all four tires are exactly the same (brand, size, style, treadwear, etc.), then the car owner is attentive to the details of sound maintenance. He keeps his tires balanced, rotated, and inflated properly, and when he needs new tires, buys all four at once. (If you're every buying a used car, use this to judge the car's past care.) He will maintain his home and his family and his affairs with the same attention to detail.
A man will expect his wife to look like his car. If he wants his car to be a perpetually waxed and polished showpiece, you had better have a good sense of style fashion yourself, because he will not tolerate you with a hair out of place.
If he is politically left, his car will be simple reliable transportation---his car will be a useful tool, not a fun toy. It will probably be a Japanese import, and probably bought second-hand. If he is politically right, he will drive an American make, and it will be important for him to have a new one frequently.
Machismo can easily be detected in his vehicle. If he has a pickup truck and has never had anything in the bed except a bag of groceries, he's macho.
If he drives a sporty model, the dealers see him coming, and know there is one born every minute. If you marry him, feel free to waste all the money you want on frivolous purchases, he'll see nothing wrong with that.
If his car is not in good repair, but runs, he has a "good enough" attitude and takes life as it is handed out. This can be a good thing, because he will also not be demanding of his wife and will not expect perfection from her, and overlook her weaknesses if everything else is going OK. And not be in a hurry to trade her in on a better model.
I love how you think you've got people figured. Too bad you don't. I'm financially well off, but I still drive a car that could be considered showy. And while I make sure my car is well maintained, I would never expect my wife to look like my car and would be much more forgiving of her flaws. I lean politically to the left, but my car is not second-hand. I also get a new one every 3 years. I have a conservative coworker who drives a Japanese import.
The only thing your post has revealed is how good you are at prejudging people.
I'm not going to lie. I do find it attractive when a guy drives a nice car. It's not a defining factor though. A Porsche/BMW/Aston Martin/etc. will only go so far to make up for lack of attraction or an ugly personality.
The one thing that immediately turns me off is when a guy gets a car just so he can say he owns a "insert luxury car here." This is the same type of guy who probably has a pair of loafers with a designer's logo all over it.
