If it's a girls car, and it appeals to the female variety, what's the problem?

i was on the gold coast highway last night and these two Chromy Bro's! pulled up next to me in a 2002 Holden Astra at the set of lights with there rap music and what not!...anyway the lights turned green and they sped off, about 20 metres later to there amazment a little silver BG was screaming past, you should have seen the looks on there faces....from smiles to oh my god, what the hell was that!!!..anyway i slowed down after 140km because of the cops lurking around, now thats a great girls car if you ask me.....anyway dont chicks dig girly cars???

DavoAust · 07-10-2007, 04:25 PM

140km or metres :P

i've never been a fan of the hatch until recently. i'd say both the hardtop and hatch are a bit girly. my dad said my car was girly until i took him for a drive the other day. our deal: he doesn't say its girly anymore but he doesn't ask for rides either

Hardtop owners are just jealous of the hatch's sleek, sexy lines. (I actually like the hardtop though but shhh).

yeh i dont really mind....the hatch still pulls the chicks

DavoAust · 07-10-2007, 07:53 PM

i reckon the hatch looks awesome with some of the aftermarket front bars. the standard one is very boxy.

doesnt the hardtop have the sleek lines? given that it has a slick nose and nice bum

Rupewrecht · 07-10-2007, 08:55 PM

To me, the Hatch has the better (and more individual) front, but the Hardtop has the better overall shape. I used to really detest the rear of the Hatch, but i don't mind it now.

And i think the reason they're called girls car is because they are simply attractive cars. They don't rely on ****loads of power to be appealing. And it's fun when my girlycar beats their eleventy billion kw Falcodore.

yeah but you're pushing what 250kw to the wheels or something insane like that. for me i have to really on being snappy through the corners. which isnt happening with my current suspension.

if you're in QLD i highly recommend the palmwoods -> montville -> maleny -> caloundra drive. its a blast, even with ****ty tyres and shocks

project.r.racing · 07-10-2007, 09:09 PM

nambour -> mapleton -> kenilworth -> maleny -> peachester -> beerwah run is way better.

DavoAust · 07-10-2007, 09:11 PM

i'll have to try it next time i'm up the coast. preferably without my gf yelling at me for going too fast

how long does it take?

project.r.racing · 07-10-2007, 09:19 PM

back on topic - you can turn a girly car into a non girly car by modding it out. example:- my car... last cruise i went on, someone thought it was a RX-8 cos of the tail-lights and big wheels. the girly idea never crossed there minds. astinas are rarely done up and when they are - they turn heads and people ask, "WTF is that? It's hot!" Morale of the story is - if you don't want your astina to be a girly car, mod it and turn it into a mans car.

i know what you mean, especially de-badged. people have said my car sounds like an N/A skyline but it clearly isn't one, so they have to ask "wtf?"
