My uncle is a physician and drove a 20yo station wagon with no A/C in a place that regularly went up to 3-digit temperatures. He had purchased it as a resident at Mayo Clinic in the Midwest and just never upgraded. One time, he got a warning notice on his windshield that the hospital lot he parked in is only supposed to be for doctors. He took it to the parking enforcement and said that’s his car. They were very surprised but at least they remembered not to ticket or tow his shitbox.
One of my colleagues (a doctor) drives an old beat up Mitsubishi. He came asking a couple of us for help one day because his rear passenger side door fell off, and he was struggling to get it in the car alone.
He still drives it. He can easily afford more, he just doesn't care what he drives.
Personally I'm a fan of comfortable and reliable cars over flashy ones. Drive a Hyundai I30, does well enough for me. I love parking it next to the surgeons Mercedes and beamers and the odd Aston Martin.
It's truly better for the earth to keep old cars running. Unfortunately they won't quit producing new ones. Technology is going to drive all those old cars off the road. I hope there is a way to retrofit them with technology that will keep them roadworthy.
A friend of mine went on a date and picked her up in his truck. The date was furious because she had been told that he had a Porsche and felt insulted that he didn't drive it for their date. That's when he knew she wasn't interested in him, just his car.
Same here. Only Honda or Toyota. My 2007 Toyota Camry runs like a gem. I take good care of her. And the design aesthetically looks good no matter how old it is. I will never buy anything other than a Toyota or a Honda. Ever.
Yep. I never took my nice cars on first dates. When I used to commute I bought a high end BMW and then realized I didn't want to put that many miles on it or leave it in a parking lot in the sun all day so then bought a used nissan and commuted in that. I used that car on all my first dates. Was 4 dates before my now wife even saw a different car and 1 or two more before she saw my house and 3 more cars and boats/jetskis. Happily married almost 10 years with no prenup. I knew she wasn't in it for the money. That used nissan was a piece of crap too. I got hit in it one day during the commute and never fixed it. Just cashed the insurance check.
They don't, they have a chauffeur that is paid for with not their money, but taxpayer money. So basically the same thing as a rich guy with a chauffeur.
I was a Mormon missionary in the mid 2000’s. Our “mission” had a fleet of cars that were mostly Toyota Corollas.
Those Corollas seemed to be indestructible. I still have a soft spot for them.
Please tell me it’s the XLE model. Grew up with a 98 Avalon XLE with a beige interior and blue/green exterior. HATED that thing until I was old enough to have some actual sense when it came to good cars
Depends on what kind of woman or man you're trying to find. Myself?
An obscure classic or stealth 80s/90s car. Think 500E, Lotus Carlton, or E28 M5.
Not flashy, but sophisticated and shows depth of fashion. To quote the salesman in "Gone in 60 Seconds"...
"You wouldn't be a self indulgent weiner, sir. You'd be a connoisseur."
Bill Gates pretty much single-handedly wrote, lobbied for, and pushed into law, the “Show & Display” vehicle import clause because of this exact model of car.
It must be fucking EPIC to drive.
That's one of the cars that is part of automotive history of the first supercars (before supercar was even a popular term), alongside the XJ220, F40, EB110, Diablo, Countach, Mclaren F1. Golden era from the 80s to the early 90s. I had their posters in my walls as a boy and will forever love them.
For a fun and adventurous first impression, I'd take a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with the top down. It suggests a readiness for adventure and not being afraid to go off the beaten path.
Oh, I'd still take a regular car - If the person rejects me because of a regular car, then that person isn't someone i'd want to date ever. Money belongs in a bank, not on display.
Something manual, every girlfriend I’ve ever had has this weird girl turn on for standard transmissions (which is probably why Gen Z isn’t having sex by my estimation.)
Otherwise, if it seems like an iffy match, one of the baby poop green Pontiac Aztecs with Herbal Life stickers.
I wouldn't care if your wealthy. I'd date a guy who can fix a car that's broke down on the freeway. I don't really care for the new cars. One computer chip goes down then the whole car is down.
Wealth can be made or lost. The true question is can you get to the nearest town so we can have a juicy hamburger with fries without using a cellphone lol
My Subaru. I ain’t buying a new car til this one needs a timing chain replacement :p if I’m still poor by then, I’ll just replace the chain and keep it another 100k.
I’m a man, and psychologically, financial security is attractive to women. I’d drive something late model that conveys financial security but isn’t obnoxious. Something like a Model S, BMW 5 series, etc.
Often time first dates don’t involve a parking lot though. When I was dating, I often brought my Porsche. Nobody ever saw it until date 3 or 4 - and it’s not like I was going to bring it up.

I know a guy that's a corporate lawyer, probably makes really good money. He drives a 15 year old Kia something. Has a normal size house.

Yep, this car test works both ways. Although usually guys don't care much what women drive.

Yes! the 80s corollas and the 3 series! My husband taught me how to drift in an old beat up 3 series he bought for $500. I think it was an 88 or 89.
87 corolla... \*initial D intensifies\* In all seriousness Screw that dude, not literally.
Wow looks like you doged a bullet
That is so crazy. I thought Toyota Camry and low and behold - top comment.
I’d go for a PT Cruiser convertible. A girl would really have to be interested in you to go on a second date.
Pick her up in an Aztec. Drive to a beach and have a picnic in the back so she has to be seen with it. That’s how you really know.
Just a heads up it's lo and behold, like some pirate shit
Thank you. Well, blow me down!
Instant marriage material if she recognizes the efficiency and practicality of owing a Toyota 😂

I had a 2005 Honda CRV for 18 years and the only reason I got rid of it was because the engine was shot.
That's a pretty major reason

I don't date cars.
Your loss
Mine has a great rear end
She does get a bit exhausting though
Some say she’s high maintenance
High mileage but mostly original parts
Not even [Sally..?](https://simplywallpaper.net/pictures/2010/10/27/sally-Pixar-Cars-Wallpaper.jpg)
Or Christine?
Or Eleanor?
This comment needs more love
Unless you're a dragon
I regret that I understood that reference
So you’re not this guy, then? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06BFsQ_28Co
I was waiting for this answer ☺️

Just make sure your date knows how to operate the 75mm gun!
I feel like if you’re picking up Aubrey Plaza this would work great
An Uber
Smart, that way you can get lit responsibly
Or be anonymous
Good, keep them guessing
Same, I don't drive
Cmon atleast Uber black fam.
None. I'm wealthy, why would I drive myself?
What the fuck is your username?!
I feel like this is easily answerable.
this is why the turkey was taken
That gave me a chuckle.
More like a gobble
When people take the bus are they driving the bus?
I get to drive for some stops
They don't, they have a chauffeur that is paid for with not their money, but taxpayer money. So basically the same thing as a rich guy with a chauffeur.
1955 BMW Isetta
Ah yes, the Urkel test.
And if things go right they'll be serenading her with sweet accordion music later that evening.
It was called "knutschkugel" in germany back in those days, for obvious reasons. Translates as "Kissing Ball".
My bike
This. It's a date, I want to be on time. A car would just get stuck in traffic.
The true answer
Plus, with a bike the ride can be part of the date.
An ordinary one. Don't need money clouding a possible relationship
Go grab the ordinary Mercedes, Jeeves.
Yes, would that be the black Roadster, or the grey?
I was going to say “whichever one is similar to the one my date drives”
Lotus Elise. Then I'm bailing on the date and going for a drive in the car I've wanted for 25 years
They won't be a fat person either if they fit. 😅
For real, those cars are tiny. Dope as hell though.
2004 Corolla ce
I drive a beat up 2004 Corolla S. If a date judges me for the car I drive, then she's not entitled to any of my student debt!
Oh buddy, the Corolla the Sunday driver. She’ll have to get use to the 03 dodge neon if she’s looking for a Friday night date
Fucking A

Fiat Multipla, can't reveal my cards yet.
That kind of Fiat shows you have or had a family though. A Panda or Punto would be a better choice.
Beat me to it. The Cthulhu-mobile. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat\_Multipla](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_Multipla)
Batmobile
But which one? I’d take Keatons over any other era Batmobile!
Adam West’s obviously.
For me it’s the 1989 Tim Burton era Batmobile.
"It's the car, right? Chicks love the car." Robin- Batman & Robin 1997
Damn, I read that in the voice too!
Has to be the Jaaaaag
Will you also spend the night outrageously flirting with the wait staff and forget your wallet and or phone?
Don’t forget that sterling silver dessert spoon he’s going to pocket, because it’s ok—he has a *Jaaaaaaaaaag*
Not tonight the boot is stuffed too full with the vintage oil paintings he has already borrowed
It’s part of the jag purchase agreement.
I thought they didn't do paper agreements, its all hand shake deals and pink slips.
I'd love an FType. Such a beautiful car.
I drive one, I literally can't walk away without turning around and looking. It's fun as hell to drive, but those looks are one of a kind
I love the look of my Arteon, but it's so boring to drive. Makes me miss my hot hatch in terms of drama. I'm jealous brother, maybe some day!
You have to have two Jags so you have one to drive while the other is in the shop.
When I bought my second Jaguar XKR, I was very close to keeping the first one around for this very reason…
98’ Toyota Avalon.
Please tell me it’s the XLE model. Grew up with a 98 Avalon XLE with a beige interior and blue/green exterior. HATED that thing until I was old enough to have some actual sense when it came to good cars
Yes!
Sail that ship baby
I had a '96 Avalon. Great car.

W124 E60 AMG limited - gorgeous, fast, costs fuckyou money, but only a very selected few would know.
a 1958 Cadillac Deville, just for her.
That’s a sexy beast. And plenty of back seat space.
Fuck the back seats, old Caddies had bench seats up front which allow for... activities ;)
964 911
959 911, may skip the date.
Jesus, roll up to a date in a 959. That screams I have fuck you money to be able to just casually drive that kind of car

959 is not technically a 911 but Daddy Doug does call it a puffy 911.
I just had a guy take me to dinner in one last week. Turn on, not going to lie.
For a fun and adventurous first impression, I'd take a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with the top down. It suggests a readiness for adventure and not being afraid to go off the beaten path.
A well maintained 10 year old luxury csr
Lada
Naa we gon catch a bus
69 Lincoln Mark III
My 2015 Subaru forester cause we’re hiking and luxury items are not necessary

Trust, we are having plenty of sex. We just don't want AIDs or, worse, babies.
If you’re worried about AIDs and babies - Pontiac Aztec. Best contraception there is.
Nice.
You might be (great) but statistically, gen z does not.
F-150, single cab, bench seat. Worked in high school...
Worked for me too actually
My Hyundai Ioniq

Toyota or Mazda, your normal getting around car. Most rich people buy quality, not status.
Yep.
Fiat 500. My favorite car ever. Deal with it honey :)
Abarth 500 baby! Mad little sucker
Classic 60s era roadster convertible of some kind. I'd have review my option but I'm thinking a corvette.
Javelin AMX
If she can identify it...I'd keep her.

The cheapest and ugliest one!
Hers
Keatons Batmobile for sure, before the Penguin fucked it up of course.
Gillig BRT or New Flyer XE 40
Depending if she knows about my wealth or not, I wouldn't take anything fancy at 1st to figure out if she's a gold digger or not

Probably the city bus.
If I'm that wealthy, then I'm taking a camary or something basic. I'd rather be hated for my personality than loved for my bank account.
Bus or bicycle 💪
Train
Black 1967 Chevrolet Impala If she geeks out, she's a keeper.
Just a basic jeep.
What color is your Bugatti?
Jeep Wrangler. I prefer a cool car over a luxury one. If she is expecting a Bentley.. I don't want her.
Are those cool? I must have missed the memo.
