[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First of all, you are in  your mid 20s. Buying a flashy car should not be a priority. In fact, for me it would be a red flag about priorities.  I actually didnt even have a car between 28 and 28--lived in the city, etc.

Secondly, he has a car, and fixed it up. What's wrong with that? Shows motivation, skills, creativity, thriftiness. Good traits.

Third, I suspect that you maybe grew up in a wealthier neighborhood and your parents have paid for things: college, cars, cc bills, phones.  Becuase if you were coming from lower/middle class and worked your way through college, this would not cause you to bat an eye.

Fourth, he sounds like a smart, motivated guy in a good field. He probably has big potential--perhaps more than you do, though I dont know your profession.

You need to decide: do you want to date a rich sugar daddy or asshole type who drives a flashy car? There are tons. Or do you want to date a lovely guy with whom you get along well who works hard to get where he is?

and, on a related note: a friend of mine met a guy online (in their 40s). showed up to the date in total beater truck. she remarked how great it must be to have a truck when you garden and did not raise an eyebrow. First couple dates, there was little to indicate 'status,' --just that he had a job in IT and lived in X suburb--they had a great time. went couple more dates. finally she discovers that he's also got a fancy expensive car, a beautiful home, probably a million or two investments, etc. She herself is successful and independent and didn't care too much about his situation, as long as he was stable and employed.  and [b]he was happy to weed out someone who was only interested in money.
