My husband wants to know “what’s the quintessential hot dad car?”

[Anonymous]

None. What a dumb question..

It would have to be a station wagon Volvo xc-70, or a cool minivan/van like the vw electric van.
Thats a hot dad car.
Definitely not a bmw or Mercedes (hot dad spends his money on his kids future, not himself), or an SUV (gas guzzler), or a little car meant for two people. Hot dad can transport kid and their friends wherever, or stock up at Costco or ikea with room left over.

A lot of these replies are so boring. And the cars aren’t special or particularly expensive.

The answer is Maserati. It’s not insecure or try too hard, but it is nice looking and not a dime a dozen. As someone who spends time at country clubs/private schools, it is always the in-shape hot doctor dad driving a Maserati.

Ehhh . Some truth. My husband adores the fact that I know how to drive a stick shift.

We also taught both of kids how to. We also have an old manual weekend car.

Its a low key fun flex.

Ridiculous. Most people of a certain age learned on a stick shift. You're just showing your age.

I'm 62 and learned on an automatic. Some of us are secure enough to let the car shift for us

Gross.

The Mr Mom types are the opposite of hot.

Ah, yeah, no.

You don’t think a man who is good with his hands is hot? Any man can buy an expensive car. Money isn’t hot.

They can’t though. They have to have the money to do so.

I love driving stick, but they are impossible to find. The worst is the paddle shifters on automatics.

There are 1,500 of them for sale in DMV right now

Lots of people are bad with money and that’s not hot. Leases and irresponsible car loans are everywhere.

+1. Hottest guy I knew drove a Bluebird school bus with manual transmission.

The hot dad car today is a station wagon with manual transmission. There are so few.

The Lexus GX 550 is basically the blueprint right now… boxy, capable, quietly rich.

Same lane, depending on your flavor:
* Land Rover Defender - a little hotter, a little riskier
* Toyota Land Cruiser - insider, understated flex
* Ineos Grenadier - niche, very “I disappear to Wyoming”
* BMW X7 - polished, country club version
* Mercedes-Benz G-Class - loud, but somehow still works

GX is still the sweet spot: looks like you could go off-grid, but also have your finances extremely together.

But when a balding, pot-bellied male lurches out of the vehicle...

Get yourself together. The car is immaterial.

😂😂😂

Just buy a Toyota and use the rest of the budget on a trainer

Is this like, a hot married dad who would never cheat on his wife? Are we just admiring in the scenario or trying to sleep with him?

As a married mom, I agree with the minivan. But minivan dad would never step out on his wife, and that’s part of the appeal.

I like the new VW van. So retro and cool. I would not be caught in a minivan but this is cool.
