I am not a car guy, a car for me serves to get me from point A to point B and back. My current vehicle is a 2006 Hyundai Accent, it isn't sporty, does have some minor body damage on the drive side rear, I gave up on washing it after I got it as I drive on dirt roads often. The inside is in need of a vacuum because of all the dirt that gets tracked out here in the country where I live and work. There is some trash that I need to get out of there; however, nothing sticky on the seats and really no trash on the floors. If a woman thinks too much into what I drive and isn't interested in me because of it, it is purely her loss.
I don't think most women would have a problem with you driving an inexpensive car. I would absolutely suggest you wash and vacuum it before you pick her up, though. THAT might be an issue for them!

I don't know much about cars and I'm not very interested in them either. However I do look at how clean (or not) the car is and how the guy drives. Those two things tell me more about him than the type of car does.

I have something nicer now,but I loved my old "beaters": they acted as a filter to keep away the very materialistic minded women I'd rather avoid.

notaman,


What is a “domestic car?”
A current definition that fits a "domestic car" is a car that has been spayed and neutered!

Of course we make assumptions! For example: a man in his fifties driving a Harley leaves an impression. A man in his sixties driving a little sports car leaves a different impression. It's almost impossible not to make some assumption based on the car a person, (man or woman), drives since it reflects what importance that person puts on his/her mode of transportation, personal taste, financial stability (or instability), self-esteem, or need to impress others.

I do make judgements about a man because of what he drives. Clean and maintained is important but a man who pulls up in a snazzy sports car or an oversized Hummer screams that he's either showing off or compensating ... and neither trips my trigger.

I absolutely notice, and I do care, though it has not historically been a factor in whether I would date someone.

The correlation between her owning a nice car and me liking her for other reasons has been high, but certainly not perfect, so I would rather investigate the person thoroughly.

That said, my dating experience is young enough that a woman’s car usually had more to do with her parents’ money than hers (and often they were still on hand-me-down cars.)
Well written....
