how does one keep straight a face driving a terrible looking vehicle? When women tell me they like it despite its terrible aesthetics are they lying?

I have body shame for my car.

Depends on the woman. Some of us don’t care about what you drive, some of us see it as a status symbol, if not representative of the kind of guy you are. In other words, it’s a hit or miss.

Some may like it. Some don’t care one way or the other. Some are lying.

 This is how I keep a straight face. :|

Vehicle designs are subjective to all, not just genders. I love the design of the TC by Maserati. JUDGE ME.

My wife definitely cares, but not in the way I would have expected.

She absolutely refused to ride in the ‘77 Cougar I had, she saw it too much as a “pimpmobile”.

Kinja'd!!!

She did ride in my ‘88 Thunderbird once, and she seemed ok with it until it started coughing and dying at stop lights, then she was so embarrassed that she tried to slink down in her seat, even though no one she knew was anywhere near.

Kinja'd!!!

So, apparently she doesn’t mind ugly cars (or at least not kept up in appearance), but if it doesn’t run right or is “too flashy”, she cares too much.

Funny how much her opinion of the car matters, considering how little she cares about cars.

It doesn’t make any sense to me either.

Are you trying to say it’s hard to generalize the interests of an entire gender? Wow, I’m shocked :P

I drive MR2s, so am unfamiliar with this concern.

I like the TC! I dont know how much I want the rest of the car but the body is a nice design. I need to practice the straight face somewhere between frown and smile is hard on my cheek muscles.

Mrs. Transit views our cars as appliances that transport her from one location to another. =| When asked for her input on the color of a recent vehicle purchase, she said, “Which color is less likely to show when it’s dirty?” =(

Just be gay instead. A cool car will always land you more guys than girls.

only speaking for myself here but I really don’t care. I’ve dated people who don’t care about cars at all and have boring cars, people who don’t drive at all, someone with a miata, someone with a C4, someone who goes out and leases a new 328xi every year, and now I’m marrying someone who doesn’t know how to ride a motorcycle. ¯\(°_o)/¯

and for what it’s worth, driving a “PMY” Camaro really only attracts police, bugs, and kids yelling “BUMBLEBEEEEEEEEEEEEE!”

....also calling women “females” is more unappealing to me than any car ever could be

why? call me a male and i dont give a crap.

The “females” thing is just usually a warning sign of neckbeard ways, and I’m not aware of the same connotation with “males.”

its your choice to be offended or not. I dont even know what neckbeard ways are.

Buddy, you’re the one asking for opinions here, and I just gave you mine. It’s your choice to be dismissive of that opinion or not. Did I tell you to change the title? No. Did I call you a bad person? No. I just said that it’s more indicative of someone’s attitude towards women (and thus my desire or lack thereof to interact with them on a personal level) than their car.
