No, thank you. I prefer Fiat 500.


I’m a lady who drives an Escalade and a sports car, too. Hardly a T supporter. A guy who has one car and it’s a small car is a total turn off. At least at my age (40). And yes, men pick up for dates, still.

I assume the ladies replying that big cars are a turn off are much younger. My generation of women, hands down, likes a car that has some rumble and lots of power.



No. I'm older than you, and unless there's a good reason for it (tons of kids, work) I don't think you should be driving a big truck or an SUV


Good thing no one cares what you think.

Are you currently dating at 40?

My guy drives an old Mercedes station wagon that he bought on ebay. He keeps it pristine condition. We've been together 4 years and I love his car-- oops, I mean him.

My BF drives a Porsche Macan SUV. It really matches his personality.

I drive a a Tahoe and an Escalade.


So? My husband is a big guy, and when we met he was driving a VW Golf Diesel. When he got out, he looked like he was taking the car off like a jacket.

New shiny truck does not look good even if guy works in trades. Just means that he can't do math and thinks that being able to depreciate something is cheaper then buying used and paying it off. Lot of other things can be depreciated that are more cost effective.

Well I paid cash for my Escalade. A new fully loaded grand Cherokee and Tahoe are more than X5 as well as a lot of the Mercedes SUVs, and not much cheaper than an Escalade so your stereo types don’t add up.


Yes, but an Escalade or the German status SUVs are purchased by people who place a lot of value in what strangers think about them.


I paid cash for mine, too. And yes, I know I’m pretty awesome. My car only confirms it.

I suppose it depends on some women, but I'm wondering how many woman immediately think less of the guy by thinking he's one of those overcompensating types, etc.



If you live in the city, Alexandria or Arlington, etc and drive an F-350 I think you’re a jerk.

I have never been picked up by my date in the 2 yrs I’ve been dating


Why? A lot of guys work in the trades and need trucks for work.

Both equally, neither hold a candle to a doulie (bonus points for diesel)
