It means absolutely nothing any more. These cars aren't exclusive, exotic, or extravagant. Its just a 911. Use it like any other car.

If a chick liked or didn't like you because of your car (and you are out of high school), shes more shallow than any girl I've met.
I disagree, most decent women doesn't care but there are a lot of gold diggers out there. For that reason, I would not take the 911. If the OP knows that she's a gold digger and isn't serious, just wants to get laid, sure take the 911. Girls notices what you drive. When I go clubbing (not very often but my single mid 30's friends still go all the time), I usually take the SUV. For obvious reasons, a lot of drunks and crazies out at night. The few times I took the Mercedes, I was instantly noticed. Girls came up to me and started conversations. I wonder how they knew. The clubs have balconies and they noticed you when you come in. It's sad.

girls in hs might notice what you drive, and so do gold diggers I spose. Both fall under shallow groups. That said, if you can't figure out if they fall into either category in a few minutes, you may need some work on your skills.

also, and this may come from living near NYC, a mercedes, porsche, BMW, whatever won't get you a second look from a gold digger. Minimum, bentley, ferrari, lambo, or rolls for even moderate gold diggers to be interested.

Then I went to a Porsche driving event both my friend and I took turns as passenger. We both almost barfed. It is way different when you are the passenger.
Almost every time my wife gets in my 997 I hand her a dramamine. It solves the motion sickness nicely.

That being said I don't think handing a girl a non-descript little white pill when she sits in your car on a first date would go over very well.

LOL. So true.

The true ballers have upped their game big time in the car dept. $150K car will no longer do.
A Phantom is what an S class used to be. Still Porsches (excluing Cayenne/Pana) are still far from being commonly seen even up here in the NYC metro area. For instance if a 911 or 964 pull up next to me on the highway I check it out, if it were an M3 or S4 I would probably fail to notice it.

I consider this at each date and normally end up taking the 911 if the weather's good. I think to her the car indicates a level of success so it's not about the car per say, but what it means to her as a potential provider. Women think long term even on the first date.
Also, a key play here is not what she thinks of the car, but what she thinks YOU think of the car. You have to play it down. Women don't want to be second to your machine. She needs to know your priorities are not out of line.
So, take it at every opportunity. Besides, your night may not be over after the date. Just don't make it a discssion point.

I've found that women, especially on the first few dates, don't want to get into some low sports car, especially if they are wearing a dress or a skirt. It's uncomfortable and awkward, and they want to look elegant and attractive.
Check 6 posts above yours. Agreed.

well, I sorta disagree. I see 911s all the time. Older air cooled ones...not so much...but then golddiggers and the like know new cars and old cars, and a 964 won't get you a glance.

Total nonsense. A smart woman knows that even low income/low net worth people can lease fairly expensive cars through the wonders of debt. If a car indicates a level of success to a woman, she's not very bright.

Do a quick google on 30k millionaires and you can see that a fairly fancy car or few other toys means absolutely nothing.

The last girl I seriously dated loved my 911. She just didn't realize that it was in fact a Cayman.

That being said, she would complain that it was really difficult to get out of. If I had an SUV or sedan, I woud have driven that when going out with her.

"Total nonsense?" I didn't say it was an absolute. But it's definitely not "total nonsense." You're not living in this economy if you think they're not paying attention. It's an indicator, but it's not the only one.

they may be paying attention, but if they are smart, it won't be to your car

if the chick makes issue of your car, move on anyway. seriously. it's a car... unless she views it as a ***** extension and a deficiency on your part.

I only pray you'll be drinking....

Better than single guys taking advice from single guys. At least with a married guy you can assume he did it right at least once!
