Nice cars aren't "chick magnets". They are "d1ck magnets". Never had a female yell or talk to me, offer to trade their kids for my car, ask what year, how much, how fast or just call you an a$$hole for no reason. All have happened to me and have all been male.

I don't mean it attracts mean people, but it attracts mostly men, rarely females.

It's probably 80% people who see a nice car and 20% enthusiasts.

I disagree. Obscene stuff like a lamborghini aventador works. G-wagon works as well. I promise.

Actually saw a G65 AMG on the fwy the other day. Didn't know they were well over 200k OTD. Most G wagons I see here in SoCal are the G63s and there are tons of them. don't really see G550 often as interestingly most opt for the G63AMG

Aventadors I see are always windows down with the owner vying for attention, which they most certainly receive

Someone I knew owned an aventador...an extremely hot woman (probably some high level escort) literally asked to come home with him when he drove past the club. LOL

G-wagons hold their value extremely well and also attract gold diggers.

Only two cars I would buy if I wasn't an enthusiast and wanted a car to attract chicks.

Another happily married guy in my early to mid thirties. Mostly guys like the car. It's not exotic, flashy, or rare enough to draw in the gold digger types. Glad I'm well past the point of caring about that.

Before the 911 I had a first gen Nissan 370Z nismo (which comes with a big wing and an aggressive body kit), and it got many times more attention than the 911. I got a comment almost every single time I drove the car for more than ten minutes. It was also entirely from guys saying 'cool car' and giving a thumbs up, not women throwing themselves at me. I think it had more of an everyman appeal than the 911, and I bet a hellcat would be similar.

I initially wondered if the Ducati Diavel would get a lot of comments as it has a unique look and sound, but I've since concluded that any motorcycle, however exotic or ordinary, is only worth half a glance to current, past, and aspiring motorcycle owners. That and for whatever reason, when you wear armor on anything but a supersport, everyone seems to assume you're going to beat them up just as soon as look at them.

Oh don't worry, no love for the short hairy guys either, I can assure you.

But like I said before, these aren't the "females" I'm looking for...
Besides... I'm married to the one I want, and as much as it would shock my 20something year old self (way back when) to admit it, that's pretty awesome. (And she's German. And loves Porsche.)

Almost forgot about this one experience I had. This happened just recently... Out to dinner in Walnut Creek, CA with wife. No parking so I decided to drop her off to get our table and I could drive around looking. Saw open spaces in a lot for Jos A Bank. The store was closing in 45 minutes so hey...why can't I park there?? Go inside the store to ask permission to park there. The attractive lady behind the counter asked if she could help me. I explained my situation and asked if I could PLEASE park in their lot and not be towed. I was polite and she could see that and thanked me for asking instead of just parking there. There are tow signs there!! She said ok and then asked what was my car make and color...so there it came out...Silver Porsche Carrera. Her eyes opened up and then said, " Do you need company for dinner?" LOL I told her my wife wouldn't like extra company...we all got a laugh out of it and she had a great smile! I felt good!!

Just the other day a beautiful lady in her car was standing in a queue. I could see she was looking intensely when I was approaching. To the point that she forgot traffic was moving in front of her. Just as I was about to pass her she tried to start quickly as she was late off the line but stalled the car, still looking

A few weeks ago I was going home from work when a car with three women pulled up behind me. It was Friday and they were on their way to a party or something because music was loud and they were singing with windows open. I could see they were pointing at my car and they were following me in traffic when I changed lanes.

A few miles later they passed as I was exiting the highway. Traffic was slow also on the exit and they stopped beside me waving and cheering. That's nice. And I'm happily married.

My wife told me she get positive reactions from men when she is driving her Beetle cabrio so I can't protest to that.

I never get looks from women in my Ferrari, 911 or the wifes Jag XK coupe.

But when I have both of my blonde lab girls in the back of the Range Rover with the windows down.........Panties be droppin'. Best wing-men ever.

Seriously, I could be driving a hoopty.....women like cute puppies and thems the breaks.

Thank the lord Im happily married.
