If a blind date pulled up to your door
in a 1976 Honda Civic

would you have a different reaction than if he pulled up

in a 1998 Jag?

2. Yeah, I would be impressed that he had the self confidence
to drive that, as opposed to borrowing friends/dads/uncles car

3. well..
i don't date men so it's not a valid question.. :silly:


But i really could give a rat's ass about what type of car someone drives as long as it isn't some idiotic 8,000 pound SUV. I spent so much money on cars in my youth it's scary, and now i just want something that looks ok and is comfy with enough room for my stuff. Although when i get a house with a garage i will commence with the building of a fire-breathing street demon from hell.

8. As the father of two girls, I read into it that it would be one of
THEIR dates. Not mine.
Capiche?
I don't need no stinkin dates. Me and the old lady are quite happy.

6. Yes,
I'd think he was honest, hard-working and doesn't waste money.

9. Frankly, I'd ask why he drove up to my door instead of the driveway.

Regardless of car. And why he wanted to ruin my fucking lawn.:D

10. Yes--the Jag would freak me out.
I :loveya: Jaguars.

But if a blind date came to get me in one, I must admit that I'd have a few preconceived notions and I'd start feeling uncomfortable, like I wouldn't be able to 'keep up'.

I'd see the guy in the Honda and not even think about the car for a second.

Hmm.

11. My blind date pulled up in an AMC Gremlin
and we have now been together for more than twenty years. It did give me pause when I saw it but she explained immediately that it was a loaner.

12. Mine Arrived in a POS Audi
But it was clean and paid for, and since then he's obtained a reliable vehicle!
