well ,never judge a book by its cover, an expensive car can indecate 2 things
1. you have extra money to spend on expensvise cars or
2. you live in a tent and have a vary large loan, attached to an item that only depreciates. live long and prosper my fellow humans

Just one example. I was sitting at a long light and a very attractive 30ish woman pulls up on my left. Her left hand is on the steering wheel and her wedding ring is visible. She rolls her window down and starts with “Nice car. I love the color”. I say thanks, she makes a few other comments about random stuff like the weather. She then hits me with “I was just heading to lunch by myself, would you like to join me?”. I say no thanks and mention her ring. She says something like “that doesn't matter, he travels a lot for work”.

So no, the BMW doesn't work but a $200K Porsche is a panty dropper.

Man you turned down a free bacon cheeseburger.

Based on a lot of the comments I see on this site... #2 is the more likely scenario.

If she had offered to let me eat a bacon cheeseburger off of her, we might have had a deal! lol

Today I was at a stop light playing loud dancehall music, at the Stop light a couple of girls started dancing in there car to the songs. One shouted out I like your car

My wife does not like driving or riding in my F90 M5. She prefers driving or having me drive her E3 Cayenne S.

I'm making my way to Vancouver as we speak, from the east coast. Can't wait to be in your town, and do a bunch of carspotting.

I miss Vancouver, such a nice city...be there in about 3 to 4 weeks.

No but if I took the paper bag off, it would most likely get me hunted for sport.

I have had sort of an interesting twist to the topic of this thread. This was a few years ago. Had a woman over to my place. It was the second date. It got late and she was leaving to go home. I forget why I opened my garage door. She notices my E82 under the car cover. Asked what's that. I pull the cover back and show the car to her. Then she sort of retorts back about why I didn't take her on our first date in that car. Things got weird after that and a third date never happened.

Lady I'm dating now kept bugging me to take her out in my E82. Then one day she says were going out for dinner and you're driving me in your BMW. After that happened, she hasn't bugged me to take her out in the E82 again. Could be that I had a little fun with the E82 with some spirited driving. LOL.

It's not a car but a BMW motorcycle. I was out riding my 2022 S1000RR (K67) and had parked it. A couple of guys came over and had a chat about riding and my bike. As we were talking I saw a group of people heading to a car parked near my bike. A young lady was walking around my bike just looking it up and down. The guy in the group came over and asked if it would be ok for her to get pictures taken with my bike. I said sure. Girl was very attractive but way too young for me to even consider.

Hope you have a good time here in Vancouver. Summer is the best time to be around here unless you like skiing and snowboarding. Then you don't want to miss the winter too.

Lot of young ladies here in Vancouver are driving Cayman, 911, AMG C43.... They look at your cars are just like another sport cars and that all

Actually I won my wife's heart with a miata. Nothing fancy

You never know what you are going to get, it might turn out to be a vegan burger and you will be disappointed.

I had a Volvo station wagon when I met my wife. She had 3 BMWs.

Saw this post and it’s about…..an X1?

[thestumper]

It might, but my face tends to scare them off/lose them, so it's a net zero. So I guess I wouldn't really know....

I wonder if she knew the difference between a pedestrian 911 and a GT3, and only goes after $200k+ cars. I doubt it, haha.

When people have money to burn, they can buy the most expensive/fancy/exotic cars in the world. But how many have the proper skills to drive those cars, that is the questions. I doubt any decent girl will like to sit in with a driver driving a $1000000 > car with zero skill unless she is a gold digger. Be a real man, first learn how to drive it properly

I think it was more the Porsche badge than the specific model. Plus the wing does make it look "fancier" to the average person. Fancier does usually mean more expensive
