In my experience, the car itself is a dick magnet. It's not uncommon for a guy to approach my car in a parking lot wondering why my car sounds "different" (blower). Or you get guys giving you the thumbs-up on the freeway. Or you give another M3 guy a quick nod. That happens on a semi-regular basis. No woman has ever paid any mind to my car. My wife certainly doesn't hold it in any esteem. She doesn't drive my car often, but she did a couple weeks ago because I had to take her SUV with the kids and dog to go hiking in the mountains with friends. She needed my car and then met up with us. When she finally met up with us, she says in front of everyone, "sorry, I rubbed the curb while parking your car. I don't think it's too bad......" ARGH!
BUUUTTT, tracking your car is a totally different story. Chicks TOTALLY dig that. Or perhaps I should more accurately say, while most chicks don't pay any mind to the particulars of a car, they have VERY strong feelings about tracking. They either LOVE the idea of it, or they completely hate it. And you can never tell which way it will go. You tell some chick that you're going to the track, and they're eyes light up real big, "oooooh, you race your car??!!" Or, there's a look of complete disdain, "Your wife let's you do that???" yessss, my wife let's me do that. But my wife does take the opportunity to poke fun at me whenever she can though. Just yesterday, we were driving right past Willow Springs going up to Mammoth Mountain to go skiing. My kids have never seen a track yet. I said, "hey kids, wanna see a track dad goes to?" (it's only a few miles miles off the freeway.) My wife then turns around to the kids and says, "hey kids, wanna see a bunch of pavement in a circle, or go skiing?" Good one!! To my 10 year-old daughter's credit, she says, "can we see it on the way back?" So, there ya go, I say any fancy car is mostly a dick magnet, but I have found that chicks really dig the idea of a dude on a race track. Unless it's your wife, who mostly just tolerates it. |

I think it can be both, but a dick magnet for the most part ! I personally find a guy that knows and drives nice cars extra attracted; i guess its a plus ! However, most of my girl friends don't even care about what a guy drives or how it's modded

99% of girls have never been to a track; let alone driven on one.
A year ago I had a bright idea and I started taking my dates to HPDE especially FATTs. I give them my E46 M3 (SMG) and we go together and alternate driving It is a really fun experience and the nervousness/adrenaline thing can make you feel 10x farther along I now have an extra helmet for this reason "Want to go race?" "What?" "Here's a helmet. Let's go. You drive." ![]() Quote:

WOW now there is an idea! I'm going to try and take a date or GF to an AutoX. Really. BMWCCA even allows passengers. The girl i'm seeing now drives a manual so I think i'd be cool with her driving the e92.

I think, for the most part, women don't know anything about cars, nor do they care. The car culture is a male dominated sausage fest. sure, you may get a "nice car" comment here or there, but that won't make them date you. women are only attracted to exotic cars, and not because of the car but because it means you have $$$ to spend on them. The real chick magnets are cars like ferrari, lambo, pagani, koeniggsegg, aston martin, bugatti, maserati, rolls royce, bently, audi r8, carrera gt, mclaren, etc.

Wow, are you really that thick headed and stupid? It's well known that women for the most part (i.e. there are exceptions) are not car enthusiasts. Just like most men are not into fashion or make up either. Most sports car buyers are men. Most racing drivers are men. Most people who go to trackdays are men. Most people who read car magazines are men. Pointing that out is no more misogynist than pointing out that the sky is blue or the sun rises from the east.

For sure the M3 turns more male heads because more men are into cars than chic's. But when you do find a chic that is into cars, its hot. I've had alot of my lady friends, and two girl friends, that love my car. My ex girl friend and my current girl friend both got to enjoy "riding" the hood. lol!! Hey they like it, so what. lol! But then there are those chic's like my stupid ex-wife that to her even a Ferrari is just a car and means to get from point A to point B. Another reason she's my ex-wife now.
My current girl friend yells at me when I don't take care of my M3 and I take good care of it as is! Gotta love those kind of chic's. |

Dudes know about cars and this is the best one.
I work on a naval base at a power plant. The gate guards are always giving me compliments and that means something because they see a lot of cars. Last edited by AshyLarryMP; 01-26-2013 at 03:29 AM. |

Any women who are single and looking, DON'T invest in makeup or revealing clothing. Buy an M3, mod it a little bit, and I guarantee you that you'll get guys more easily than ever hahaha |
