Then there are those of us who use our personality and looks to attract the opposite sex - the car is for going places. I have three aircooled VW's, one stock, one under restoration, and one HIGHLY modified one. Our other car is a BMW. Any one who is attracted to you based on what car you drive is probably either after your money, the good things it can provide... Different parts of the world have different views of different types of cars. Where I live, Volvo's are mostly owned by older people, Saabs range from young up to old, as do BMW - because of the wide range of models. If you based your opinion of me on my cars (if you saw them) you would think I was quite a different person to what I am... I'm a petrolhead with an eye for detail, but I like to be different. I would most probably fit you stereotypical Saab driver... I'll take a woman who admires cars over one who doesn't - and I did. I don't ever say that one make of car is better than another - there are too many different models, and too many different preferences in a car to say one make is better. I enjoy driving my 3 Series BMW, but I don't think I would ever own a 7 series - I'm not a big car fan. Perhaps everybody should stop saying this car is best because blah blah blah, and find out what car would suit the person asking about them. I can tell you several stories of car salesmen who tried to sell me a car I didn't want - most of them were embarrased in front of their workmates. I don't know why people crosspost these questions - they NEVER get the answers they want. If you want to buy a car, test drive it and see if you like it... then make up your own mind. -- Allan Williams "Where's my Bong?" ----------------------------------------------------- Stuart Kunkler wrote in message <7f3l3r$gsb$1nopsamsc03.worldnet.att.net>... >this has to be the most fascinating thread i've ever read, and the most >fruitless as well. there are some people here with either (a) too much time >on their hands, or (b) a strong need to impress. or both. > >here's what's really going on in this thread: a man's choice of automobile >says more about his personality than he cares to admit.
