Warning - the following may contain opinions which some people could
perhaps consider politically incorrect. Tough ****. You don't like it,
don't read it.

Understand that in general guys buy cars mostly to impress other guys - it
is a variation of the "most expensive or most complicated wristwatch"
syndrome. Most women are not particularly interested in cars, regarding
them more sensibly than we do, as little more than transportation
appliances. Also, in general, most women's opinions of cars fall into three
categories:

1) ****box - won't ride in it or go out with you.

2) acceptable car (mostly meaning reasonably clean, possibly even shiny,
quiet, back seat not full of empty cola/beer cans and burger wrappers),
yes, she'll ride in it and go out with you.

3) Mercedes. I once (that was enough) dated someone who wanted to ride past
her old boyfriend's house in the RED! 280SL I had at the time so he could
see who she was dating now. Avoid this type at all costs.

Understand that nothing above is to construed as anti-women in ANY way,
shape or form. I only report from my extensive experience in attempting to
mediate and/or ameliorate the war between the sexes. Remember, you have to
kiss a lot of toadettes to find the magic princess, and those of you who
have met me know I grew a beard and a moustache to hide the warts I got
from kissing many, many toadettes over many, many years. (Before I finally
found the right one - and she has incidentally expressed no interest in
driving my Audi in almost five years!)

Buy/drive what pleases you. If she wants to go out with you, she will, and
if not, your car won't make much difference.

Donning full body suit of Nomex blended with Kevlar now that I have spread
mucho gasoline on some VERY troubled waters . . .
