If they know you have a trunk (Or bed, or hatchback, or cargo deck, or whatever) full of 50s, the rest of it doesn't matter.

Anytime I see a guy in a tiny car or convertible (even mustangs) I think GHEY!!!!!!  I hate tiny cars.  You look like you are in a tin can, your ass is about 2" from the road, and if a truck hits you, you are a total goner.  I like 300s, SUVs, trucks, el caminos, full size sedans, and hot rods.  I hate Jeep Wranglers.  I see them and I think irresponsible deadbeats.  No idea why though.

Maybe if you didn't need a fat car for your fat ass, people who choose to drive smaller cars would be safer on the road.  I hate being surrounded by SUVs because everybody thinks they need one.

Also, girl + Jeep Wrangler = probably a lesbian.

My sister used the same kind of rationale in buying an SUV (which she needs about as much as I need a half gallon of ice cream right now), that "she can't see over the SUVs in front of her."

Here's an interesting bit of history... GM sold intermediate/mid-size Chevelles and Malibus in Europe as full-size Opels in the 60's and 70's.  Same car, different perspective.

I prefer smaller cars myself.  Much better handling IMHO.  Wish I could convince my BF to let me drive his Mini, but no luck.  Something about his clutch costing a brazillion dollars or something.  Whatever.  

I LOVE that MG btw.   :-)

I have never thought a guy's choice of a car was a reason to or not to date them. I did have a step sister who based her dating on the kind of car the guy drove. Took her two marriages to figure out that was not a good criteria.  ::)

According to my son, I am basically illiterate when it comes to cars. If Wasp's truck hadn't had the Chevy thing on the front grill, I wouldn't have known what it was except an extended cab truck.

I do like SUV's and have driven one for the last 13 years. And yes, Euph, I do because I can see over the steering wheel and front of the car, without looking like I'm sitting in a booster seat.  :tongue: Since I can't parallel park worth a flip, it isn't an issue with the size of the car. And I do like to be able to see ahead of me on the road, and I don't like being able to see the underside of a semi that's driving next to me.

Besides being able to see over the front end, my first question to a car salesman,  is always: what's going to happen if I'm hit head-on? Then I look for a car that I like the color, it has a moon-roof, it doesn't have a gray or black interior, and whether on not my tush sits comfortably in the driver's seat - that will heat up. Other than that...I don't really care.

I'm 6'4" and the legs are getting stiff. I cannot get in an out of these modern Butt-draggers without pain. That's why I drive a pkup truck.

I had trouble in college with a friends car...an MGB Midget. Fold my long legs up into that thing and I was a cripple when we got where we were going.

Best Friend is 6'10.  My BF had an Opel GT back in the day.  I have a pic with him in the car, his knees by his ears.  Some times it isn't so bad being short.   :-)

I actually do need one.  I have to drive a bunch of kids in bad conditions all of the time.  And my ass may be fat but at least I don't look like a ghey squirrel driving a matchbox car.

Ever wonder, when you see really fat people in a little bitty car, how they got in there? Or will they be able to get out? Or you see the car is actually tilted toward the ground on the driver's side, because they are so big?

I was driving my ex's mother's car around back in the early 80s. It was a Ford Mustang II with a sun roof. I drove it around Santee with my head through the opened sunroof. I got  a few looks & laughs by doing that.  :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

There you go again! Talkin' out your ass about something you know absolutely nothing!  :rotf:

Let's see -- you've talked whined at length about the shitty mileage your Jeep gets -- something like 20 or 21 mpg.

My Sienna gets 24 in the city and 30 on the highway -- and I haul a shitload of instruments around with me (along with dogs and other stuff).

What is it you're putting in your Jeep these days? Besides gas, of course.  :lmao:
