Situation: You've been talking with a person online for a while. You click really well, conversations are nice, all that bullsh[/Aliceblue]it. You decide to go on a date.

Question: Do you think your initial attraction with this person could look over the fact they have a ratty ***, piece of sh[Aquamarine]
it car?

The ratty-*** car is a filter. If they dump you over it, they're not someone you'd want to be with.

Unless by ratty-*** you mean the interior is filthy and filled with hundreds of empty White Castle cartons, in which case that's disgusting.

No, interior is clean. However, battery cables need replacing (causing the car to not want to start every now and then), transmission skips 2nd gear, doors keyed down left side, rear bumper cracked and has holes, and worst of all...it's Barney Purple.

The car you just described is down the street from me right now. Except the one down the street has a pristine coat of barney purple.

Go figure.

Why don't you just meet this person somewhere? You park somewhere away from the meeting spot, and they never see the sh[Aliceblue][/Aliceblue]it box until you have them firmly trapped in your love web.

We need pix. Smiley: wink2

Have you mentioned that you drive that car? Or have you mentioned you drive a mercedes? If they know your car isn't perfect, they may not mind.

Yes.


Also yes, at first. If I heard a decent story about why the car was that bad I might be able to overlook it, but it would certainly affect my first impression.

You know it used to be that car was a first impression, but it seems now a days they don't care about it. At least from what i've seen. I've seen kids drive down the street in the most disgusting cars yet the women seem not to care. Then again, I'm not 100% sure.

Not sure i helped Smiley: lol but hope it at least helped a little bit..

On my way to pick up a girl for our first date in 1997 my muffler fell off going down the interstate. This had happened before (my car was a total POS) so I had the muffler tied to the frame of the car so I wouldn't lose it. I exited the interstate, pulled into a gas station, cut the muffler loose, and threw it in the trunk. I drove us around for the date with no muffler and she didn't seem to mind at all. I found out later that her friend had seen me throw the muffler in the trunk and my date new about it before I ever picked her up.

I ended up marrying her and this Saturday is our 6th wedding anniversary!

I dunno... she didn't leave me

But, luckily for both of us, the transmission was shot to hell and I had to buy a new car a few months later anyway Smiley: grin

In Miami, a "ghetto" car is trendy. Just make sure to plop either A) hydrolics or B) wire rims (which I personally think are teh ugly) and you have an official chick magnet.

Smiley: oyvey

Then again, the question would then be if someone that you plan on having as a SO needs to be materialistically impressed, then I think your standards are too low.

Any woman that doesn't like my car can seriously GFherself.

Then again, I drive a 2005 Nissan Sentra; if she doesn't like it, she must be high maintenance. I think I'll pass.

Oh, if there's a story attached I'm there. Otherwise, if it runs and I don't have to throw anything too disgusting into the back seat in order to sit down, I couldn't care less.

Agreed. Just like those cheap plastic spinner rims that you buy at autozone or something like that...just no.

As long as he keeps it clean, no big deal. Maybe he doesn't have the money b/c he has a ton in the bank, is giving it all to charity, or is supporting his poor cripled mother.

Why do you hate cripples?

Quite popular where I live...specially since Walmart has them!

Nothing beats seeing an old 1984 Chevy Astro drive by you with plastic spinners on it and Garfield stuck on one of the windows.

Some 16 year olds around my place try WAY to hard to fit into BET standards, I swear.

I don't think the car is as much of a deal as the internet dating part.

I was expecting this to be about dating someone who likes The Cars. Once again I'm disapointed with the 80's.

I loved Eddy Murphy In Beverly Hills Cop I when he was driving "that same crappy blue chevy nova" and told the parking attendant at a prestigous place of culinary delights to "park it in a good spot because this **** happened the last time I came here".

Last person I made a date with online and decide to go on a date with, ask me to take the bus.

Well, across town, or across the country? I've seen some Greyhound romances that were pretty ridiculous.

I used to drive the biggest POS ever. It was all I could afford though, as I had recently gotten a DUI at the age of 21. Car insurance was too expensive to keep the truck I was paying payments on. 500 bucks later I was the proud owner of a 91 Honda Civic Hatchback. I must have looked like that guy in the “Simpsons” who gets out of the VW Bug. Oddly enough, I had more room in that car then I do with my current explorer.


Come to think of it, I must have looked really funny with a 9 foot surfboard strapped to the top of the car too.

Edit: I forgot to mention the fact that I still pulled nanny with the best of em'.
