Chick Magnet's
Greg Small
G'day all again,
Thanks for the overwhelming response regarding sports cars around the
$30-35k mark. I'm looking shortly and will get a good idea, and post
back. The opinions were really great.
Anyway, my next thought, just to see what people think, is
'What cars are chick magnets?'
I understand that this is not a politically correct statement. But I
would enjoy a response from the female audience as well. Is it the type
of car, the colour or even the sound of the stereo. For once and for all
us fellas might be able to get it right, if you let us know what you
think. And to all the guys, have you had any luck with your current car?
Surely, most cars with a 50,000Kwatt stereo, and a 48 inch exhaust are
only after 'chicks'.
I'm not asking for a flame, but a genuine question is here.
Thanks for you time
Greg Small

Errr. After taking an exhaustive survey of the available female population
(who didn't want to be identified :-) the best "Chick magnet" cars are:
1) Definitely nothing that appeals to a male i.e. nothing loud or threating
or looks anything like a penis (so you can forget the Supra and 300ZX).
2) Something that looks vaguely like a baby seat will fit in the back
eventually. Unfortunately this rules out the Porsche 928 :-(
3) something that looks relatively expensive. Unfortunately this rules
out most things that most of us can afford :-)
4) Convertibles can and do work as chick magnets, but not for anybody
you'd prefer to spend more than a day with :-)
So, that leaves the non-threatening end of the luxury car market. I'd
say the biggest chick magnet of the is a 3 or 5 series BMW, with plastic
wheel covers, not alloys. Or perhaps a Saab 900, without the turbo.
Note: The survey may not be entirely representative :-)

Something no-one's mentioned yet is that different types of chick
are attracted to different types of cars.
Eg. the "convertible chick" (aka the "looking for a bald guy with a
Ferrari chick"), obviously you need a convertible. You may just
get away with something that not a convertible so long as it's a
Porsche. There's no way you'll score one of these with a Falcodore.
Eg. an XY Falcon ute with 351, top loader, mags and replica mad max
bonnet scoop will easily get the type of chick I will refer to as
the "ute chick" (also known as the "country chick"). There's no way
you'll score one of these with a modern jap "sports" car.
So the first thing you need to decide is what type of chick you want
to attract.
If you want to "test drive" some of the different types of chicks first
(quite understandably) perhaps consider hiring each type of car for a
week or so (and don't forget the phrase "it's in for another bloody
service again" if you haven't quite finished with the chick yet).
And to the person who said chicks don't know different makes of car,
that may be true to some extent at the less "sophisticated" (read
"expensive") end of the scale, but chicks recognise car badges a
mile off. Why do think the BMW 318 sells so well?

There was really only one thing I didn't consider, and that is
the type of car that inspires the flashing of breasts at
the Summernats. You aren't going to get that with any BMW :-)

Maybe you could get a Saab turbo and carefully remove the turbo badge;
maybe get the best of both worlds?

Unfortunately, I've heard the word "cute" used far too many times. But I
can't see that the car that they aren't driving could have any
attraction along these lines ...

Totally agree. Nothing pulls chicks like a BMW, now I just need one,
my Falcon just doesn't inspire passion (although, when a friend and I
were racing up Mt Ousley in our Falcons, a carload of girls got very
interested and even tried to join in!). Another head turner seems to be
the Honda Prelude. Don't really understand that one...

This is my experience as well - in fact, every female I know couldn't
care less about cars. I have long suspected that there is no such thing
as a "chick magnet" (geez I hate that phrase, sounds so tacky) but
perhaps there is a female out there who will prove me wrong? From what
I have seen, most cars labelled "chick magnets" (by blokes) are actually
"wanker magnets". If you think you can attract females by the car
you're driving, I think you've got it all wrong. My opinion, anyways.
Cheers.

What about a black one with ridiculously wide chromies, a bonnet scoop
and a big block chev under the bonnet? And the obligatory "No Fat
Chicks" sticker on the rear window.

I don't normally post here unless I need some info (which I can say
gratefully I always recieve) but this one I couldn't pass.
A lot of girls I know like old cars. Most of them don't like the look
of new ones.
Personally I think you should get what you want you're the one driving
it!
Factually I drive a Datsun 1600 1970 model. It has a smashed up front,
bashed in passenger door, dented boot, badly scraped quarter panel and
bashed and battered front guards. (All these dings except for the front
and I shit you not are from hit-runs). I drive it everywhere I go and
every girl that's sat in it has said they love it as it has so much
character. Quite a few have offered to buy it.
I think a car with a bit of character such as a battered old Datsun,
a Morris Mini, an FJ Holden or a big old Valiant s series would do
you well.
I should mention here though the girls I know are a bloody weird and
colorful bunch! if you're looking for the high class Sportsgirl type
of woman I don't think what I said can help!
cya!

3 things we guys ask about cars:
1. How fast does it go?
2. How much does it cost?
3. Can you pull chicks in it?
Answers to these:
1. "How fast?" matters much less "than does it go?"
2. "How much?" is less important than "How fast it will depreciate?"
3. If you need a flash motor to pull chicks you're a total loser anyway.
Most of the chicks who you'll pull just because you've got a fast car are
not worth the effort and have probably got herpes or something.......

Actually, a guy I knew at high school, and his brother - genuinely
believed that any Commodore (particularly if they had mags/tinted
headlight covers) would (and I quote) "pull the chicky-babes".
Of course I'd have to agree with them ;-)
However just think of the garage when they got married -
vb-vp commodore, mags sticking out from the guards, tinted headlight
covers, bad boy sticker - (and described as 'the commodore - plenty of
power to haul the kids around)
next to
gemini, mags sticking out from the guards, tinted headlight covers, bad
girl sticker (the gem, great on fuel, and for running down to the shops)
a perfect couple.
Perhaps I should have posted this anonymously.

Well mate,,,I don't give a shit about whether my ol' falcon is a chick
magnet or not, I drive it cause I love it...don't care what my friends
say about it, whether or not the chicks dig it, or if my folks are sick
of it, I love it and thats that.
by the way, I came across this girl who didn't even know what a rev head
was until she met me? Gees, some people are culturally illiterate. :)

alot of the servos around the nitespots seem to attract the girls like

the cars, or are they there cause they are showing off their cars???

Actually, the only really relevant questions are "Will I enjoy driving
it?", and "Will I get my money's worth?".
BTW, this thread isn't serious so maybe you should relax and not take
it literally, or do we have to be politically correct on aus.cars as
well now?

I'm amazed at how many girls compliment my car or talk to me about
it/want to ride in it.
Its a bloody nuisance when your at the service station trying to get
to work and some girl collars me :)
BTW i'm a married man and don't need a magnet, would have been nice 12
years ago though :)

Maybe these anal exhausts and loud stereos are a gay thing. Inadvertant

.All a women is interested in is not how much money you have, but how
much you will spend on her.
Thats why a car don't matter.

What do you like then? Do you go for rock hard lowered suspension,

Hmmm, sounds like a scorned man. A little bitter at a former
girlfriend, are we? I thought we'd thrashed this out a few weeks ago,
about not filling this newsgroup with sexist dribble.

Well in my experience it is. Note, however, he said "the _majority_ of
females", not all. Clearly you give a flying fuck (I think that's what
you're trying to say), and that's good, but I'd say you're in the
minority.
Just my opinion.
