- Must be Good looking;
- Intelligent;
- Chivalrous;
- Must have a good Sense of humor;
- Good Manners;
- Lots of money - In fact this should be at the top of the list; and
- Must have a Nice car
So I thought I would explore the "Nice Car" scenario in this post. The term "Nice" is relative of course and we all have our favorites. So I thought I would make a list of certain cars and identify them with a celebrity of my choosing. I have decided to use the following cars and list some of the traits associated with men who drive them (based on my opinion of course) and then if I were single (hypothetically speaking), would I date or marry a guy who drives one.
(Specific Car model is not relevant)
Mercedes Benz
|
|
What sort of guy I perceive drives one:
- Entitled
- Spoilt
- Arrogant
- Dick
- I've never been a fan of a Mercedes - even with the
shirt offtop down.
BMW
|
|
What sort of guy I perceive drives one:
- Think they own the road
- Selfish
- Talk down to people
- Nope - Doesn't appeal to me at all.
Jaguar
What sort of guy I perceive drives one:
- Suit kind of guy
- Sophisticated
- Non-spontaneous
- Not bothered about peer pressure
- It is a nice car but I will take this under consideration - perhaps just a short term affair - who knows, I may need a lawyer one day!
Audi
What sort of guy I perceive drives one:
- A guy who is not sure if he should be driving a Mercedes, a Lexus or a BMW.
- Settled for second best
- Non-committal
- Maybe - The car doesn't say enough about him. Perhaps a few dates to test the water and have a little fun
Land cruiser / Prado
|
|
What sort of guy I perceive drives one:
- Ready for a challenge
- Spontaneous
- Rough & Ready
- I personally drive a Prado and I quite like the rough and ready type - so a definite maybe
Land rover
|
|
What sort of guy I perceive drives one:
- Not afraid to get his hands dirty
- A man who know's how to change the oil (after all - you have to be able to fix it every time it breaks down)
- Rough & Ready
- Just like the Land Cruiser - a definite maybe.
Range Rover (Not the Evogue - those are for Women drivers only!)
|
|
What sort of guy I perceive drives one:
- Stable, solid guy
- Successful, yet adventurous
- Safe
- Rough & Ready
- A definite YES (Hubby used to drive one - But it kept breaking down all the time so he dumped it! Pity)
Porsche
|
|
What sort of guy I perceive drives one:
- Spontaneous
- Exciting
- Gorgeous
smilesmirk - Abs to die for
- Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, oh YES..... Even if it doesn't have a back seat! Sorry - what were we talking about again...... Would I marry him? Not on your life!
Porsche Cayenne
|
|
What sort of guy I perceive drives one:
- Someone who used to drive a real Porche and has had to settle for second best for practical reasons
- Committed
- Hmm - Probably. Perhaps just good enough for an affair though as he is probably taken
Lexus
|
|
What sort of guy I perceive drives one:
- Boring
- Practical
- Didn't think of a Mercedez Benz
- No - not really
Bentley
|
|
What sort of guy I perceive drives one:
- Loads of money
- Born with a silver spoon in his mouth
- Who cares about the rest - he is loaded (Normal rich guys who earned their money will drive something a little more showy)
- Definitely - he is loaded - perhaps he'll only live another 6 months
Aston Martin
|
|
What sort of guy I perceive drives one:
- Very successful
- Oozes money
- Could be fun
- Yes - No questions asked!
Ferrari (Only red ones count - any other color is a fake!)
What sort of guy I perceive drives one:
- Show-Off
- Pretentious
- Guy who is trying to make up for "what's not under the hood"
- I could "get off" on just looking at this car, but I'm afraid I would never date a guy who own's one - just too pretentious for me and probably too much competition in the wings.


























I guess a Jeep Wrangler is out of the running...Mrs. Cranky dosen't like it either but she still married me...go figure.
ReplyDeleteVery entertaining post...looks like it took a lot of work as well.
Thanks Joeh. Was all tongue in cheeck and glad you enjoyed it
DeleteI'm between the Audi and the Land Cruiser. My fiance drives a volvo suv and it worked for me!
ReplyDeleteIf it works, then it is worth keeping
DeleteNice choices.
ReplyDeleteWould go with the Bentley and Ferrari if I knew any women who drove them. Why are cars normally linked to men?
If I had a Ferrari, I'd go with you ;). Not sure why they are linked to men - cars also always referred to as a she - I suppose from an age old era where women were not allowed to drive!
DeleteOh my... give me the Aston Martin....
ReplyDeleteIsn't it just so suave...
DeleteI love this. I always wanted a "when I get super rich" Aston Martin. I will be happy to take him as well. My husband won't mind, Simon Baker is on my cheat list.
ReplyDeleteSimon baker is very yummy and would definitely be on my cheat list.
DeleteThis was such a fun post. Loved it! ♥

Thanks Kathy - this one was at the back of my mind for ages and I finally got down to putting it down.
DeleteAWESOME post, Lanthie! So clever! But the cars don't matter to me because I would take Johnny Depp hands down whether he was driving the most expensive car out there or riding a rusty bicycle. Always Johnny.....
ReplyDeleteThanks MM. Ditto about Johnny Depp - I don't think there is a women on this planet of any age that would say no to him. The stuff all our fantasies are made of!
DeleteIt's amazing how a car can pass us by and in no time women can guess at the type of person who drives it (I know it's just fun here) but you'd be surprised how many women are attracted to the car more than the guys who drive it.
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned the Range Rover that your hubby use to drive, and stated that 'it kept breaking down all the time so you dumped it' did you mean the car or your hubby? ha ha ha.
I'm not really into cars, but some of them in the post look really nice.
I'm afraid hubby dumped the car and I'm still stuck with hubby. Haven't found a newer better model yet!
DeleteHI! Love the blog! Great post as well. I am an SUV guy. I drive an old Dodge Durango (2001 to be exact) but it gets me where I need to go. How would that qualify on your dating scale???
ReplyDeleteHi Matt. Glad you like my blog and will be a regular visitor. Not familiar with the dodge Durango so will have to take this under advisement . You do fall into the rough and ready category so that goes in the pro column.
DeleteHey Lanthie!
ReplyDeleteTerrific post. I am an old school American muscle car guy. Give me a Boss 302, Shelby, or Mach 1 Mustang over any of these cars. None are as beautiful as an old Mustang. That was a real man's car!

Thanks Phil . I really know nothing about cars and have never heard of some of the ones you mention. You are going to have to educate me.
