Is there such a thing as a girlie car????

[Ruth]

if i must, why do u need backing up im the only girl whos replied!!

oh, and im assuming if an escort cosworth is a "male car", then a 1.4 escort is also a "male car" ?

 

[Ruth]

of course, seeing a woman drivng an sti scooby would make any petrol-head cry!

why? cos she might teach a few tricks to some men? i see women in scoobys on a daily basis!

 

[soundz_good]

you can go into a deeper dicussion relating on pschological behaviour in different genders. Kinda like people who feel they have to be masculine and buy something aggressive looking, image can be a major factor. There are of course very girly cars out today, usually the 'cute' and 'bubbly' ones. showing a prime example of a girl who wants to be seen as girly avoiding coments of driving a fellas car, then again it can be percieved in different ways down to drivers interests etc. Most girls like to pose and be seen, so convertibles are their fav choice,fellas like to be seen to but its just an ego boost, thus the whole modified car scene can be full of posers who forget that cars should be driven and not just ornaments. It can be compared to humans animal derived attraction instincts, the male has to look dominant and so likes fast powerful machines to make him look and feel more dominant and girls like posy or small cars because they have to be dominated and impressed by the males. Right i have waffled on quite a bit, most of it probably doesnt make sense but hey its a discussion forum so its my opinion. lol

 

[Dave]

amen!

seems so,

chicks wear battle paint - wee lads stick plastic onto their car and hang halfway out the drivers window

 

[miniator]

new tigra, old tigra, puma, bmw mini....all girly cars

 

[rmm]

There are exceptions to the generalizations - anyone see Sabine on Top Gear?

 

[jonnymccollam]

U guys jus have 2 chill.... u jus find it difficult 2 deal wif the fact that girls r startin 2 take an interest in their cars and it scares u all lol.... we r living in the age of equality btw the sexs so girls can drive wotever they want as can guys... no need 4 labels

 

[m00k]

we r living in the age of equality

cool they can start openin doors for us an carryin their own shoppin

 

[Con]

You say big cars are for men. If anyone saw that Top Gear With Jeremy Clarkson goin round the nurburg spelling??? in a diesel Jag. He cld barely get it in under 10mins or sumfin.

The the German Chick flew round in the same car under 9 mins.
SO I THINK there are more and more women gettting into to the mod scene and they are just as good now. Someways better and more ballsy. For example was it not a chick that had a 206 with pink furr boot install.
Now What male would have that.

Though I find it a bit Tomboyish for girls to be into cars etc. They would look better in the passenger seat rather than the driver seat.

@ Con... it was all good til u got to the last 2 sentences

 

[Con]

[GSi Chick]

@Con : Tomboyish - thats jus sexist, girls can b in2 their cars and still b girls ur jus being sexist now.... i ain't gonna sit bac and watch sum fella drive his manly car when i know i'm jus as gd a driver and look better behind the wheel than he does lol

 

[rugrat]

@mook - I do carry my own shopping The opening door thing rarely happens these days, but is that not a courtesy thing anyway?

@Con - what sexist keek. Women should be driving - we don't feel the desire to show off (and consequently lose their licenses for a year ), we drive safely, we have cheaper insurance. The day I sit around waiting for a man to take me anywhere... :roll:
