Default To take 911 on first date?

I know most of you guys are married here, but for those that are single what has your experiences been taking it on a first date? Most women seem a little too intimidated by it and ask too many questions. I going out tonight and thinking of just taking the range rover instead. Haven't had much luck with the 911.

When you circle the restaurant looking for the perfect parking spot, your first date will realize what an idiot you are...take the Range Rover, or better yet, have her drive.

Quadruple humblebrag!!! Well, done!!

Just kidding - initial reaction is that the 911 and Range Rover both *close enough* in price/status that I am surprised you experience noticeably different reactions with the two vehicles.

Happy dating

Are you serious dude? Too indimidated?

Just take the Range. I just got mine a 2012 leftover (nobody wanted a 3 ton gas guzzler I guess.)

Plus women love SUVs you can put a lot of baby stuff in the back so it might play on her maternal instincts.

Take the 911.....its an eveyday car these days. Plus, the 911 is you and you are the 911, so she better know upfront what the deal is. Now, if you were driving a Ferari 458, that'd be a different discussion......

Have fun

If you take the Range Rover, won't it be embarrassing when you have to call for a tow?

Question, is there some unwritten rule that everyone who buys this car must buy it in the same color as everyone else? It's sort of the opposite of driving a Porsche (outside of L.A. of course), so many have the exact same thing that its not really all that special anymore.

You can't tow them because they're too heavy. You just let them sit until down to the bump stops because the air springs leaked. Then you send letters to BMW and and now Tata and complain about supposed reliability issues and about how you have to ride home with the AAA guy in the pickup who was eating a messy hot dog.

Literally every one at the dealer was black. Black on black, black on grey, black on linen, and black on tan *yawn* I like to blend in and not be special anyways.
