rodrhonda4ever's Blue wedding

This is  funny topic. some people may take this the wrong way and think I am materialistic. I assure you I am not. We have a decent car, not a nice one. But it gets us around and looks ok.

I do not judge people based on the cars they drive. But at my age, if a man is trying to date, and he has a horrible job, and a crap car, and especially if he lives at home with his parents, I would question his responsibility and what has to offer a family, because I have a child. I don't want a filthy rich man. Honestly I am pretty humble. But I do want a grown man who can prove he is at least capable of taking care of himself before I would take him on as an extra burden. My MIL taught my hubby that is in innapropriate of a man to date if he is not ready for marriage and if he does not have things a wife and children will need. This is why he was still single when I got him. lol. But that's ok!

And yes I do know there are plently of good ones out there who don't have nice cars. But a warm heart doesn't pay the bills either. I can take care of myself, and I want a man who can do the same.

when I met my fiance he didn't have a car. He walked to work & got rides to other places. At first it bothered me a little, but I would rather marry for love & have nothing, then have a loveless marriage with lots of material possessions. He does have a car now & a good job too! :-)

other than the first car, I would've given the rest the time of day and I can see the potential in the last 3. I'm a fair bit into cars etc. and I can't stand a man who doesn't have a decent car, or at the very least, take care of his car. I've dated too many lowlifes who decided it would be a better option to mooch off me, or have me as their personal chauffer, so a car's a really important thing to me.

I have to admit, it was a HUGE a turn on when I found out FH had a 2001 ford F150 that had been lifted with massive off road tyres. There's just something really sexy about a truck, in the middle of no where, under the stars. Even more so when he got rid of that and got his jeep rubicon. Unfortunately, he doesn't have either anymore because he got a DUI. :(

my Fh had a very nice truck when we went on our first date. My inital reaction was I thought he was spoiled considering his age and the part f town he was from. No he had leased it, he knows to never lease again so it's ok. I actually drove a ugly truck when we met. a 95 nissan 4x4 pckup with an unpainted hood and dents. I could afford a better car, I just didn't care at the time. He told me he didn't know what to think when he saw it.

Good one Vintagebabe, eponine923!  I love it!

I love my FH regardless of what he drives.  Do I have a preference?  Yes.  Will I leave him over it? No.  I don't think that love takes account of the material things.  But.... was not always this way.   I wouldn't say that I was really "selfish", but I dated a guy a long time ago, & when I met him he had 2 really nice sports motorcycles & an even nicer luxury SUV.  After dating for about 3 months, he bought a green minivan.  No offense to minivan drivers, but at the time I wanted none of it.   All of a sudden, he wasn't as sexy, & as the story unfolds, you all know I'm marrying someone else, lol.  I have grown up since then.

My fiance and I actually met each other on the internet lol...not through some type of dating website like match.com though, it was actually a music downloading website and he basically just started a conversation with me to make sure I wasn't gonna sign off first before he finished downloading a song!!  Anyways, so I had no clue what he drove or what he looked like either for quite some time at first!!...so obviously I didn't judge him based on his looks or his car.  Turned out that the car he had at the time was kind of a fast and suped up car...but it was old and junkie looking on the outside!!  Now he still has a fast and suped up car (his life revolves around cars...and me!! lol) but it looks MUCH better on the outside...it's actually quite sexy but I was with him long before he got his current car and even though this car looks good and is sporty, it can still be a pain cause it always seems to be breaking down all the time and costing us money...but that's his fault though cause he takes it to the dragstrip almost every weekend and races it so things are bound to break on it!!

I'm a car girl so I will have to say that if he drive number 1 or number 3 the answer would be no... Number 2 however is a classic drag car and I would defiantly be into that, and number 4... well i love an AM just as much as the next person, and its in the fastest color (yellow) but I know a lot of guys who think they are hot shit for driving a car like that, and they are usually just pieces of it instead! so i would have to find out a little bit more about him.
I love cars, we have a new Rubicon and a collection of mustangs (new and classic) so I guess I am semi-materialistic when it comes to that!

My FH drove an ancient Jetta when we started dating. He has a pretty nice sporty car now but I really didn't mind the beater. LOL. He has a pretty good job but also had/has those student loans and business loans that go with those "good" jobs. When people found out what he did they would ask oooo what does we drive...a jetta beater..oh!! well what does his house look like..he lives in a tiny appt with his brother haha I'm def not with him for the money. anyway I agree. that while a car doesn't matter he does have to show some direction in life and it goes the other way too. super crazy sports cars are a turn off to me I call them "small penis cars".

My fiancee had to call me a few hours before our first date and tell me that his car had actually just broken down and he couldn't drive.  He was fairly sure that I'd break it off, but I love my car and I offered to drive.  I was the one who had the much flashier car back then...

the car really doesn't matter you can drive a putput and have money.  My FH has a warn out box chevy the hood was a different color he had an accident and fixed the car himself.  My car at the time was a flashy spots car hook up like it should've been on fast and the farious.  I would not date a car with no car however.  I have had a car since my tenth grade year in school of course in school i dated boys with no car but by my senior year i was totally over that.  I am not with having to pick you up, go where were goingand taking you back home it becomes to much after awhile.  I would not date a grown man living at home.  My FH always call me spoiled, but he slid through.  

Oh he was one of the ones I dated in high school with no car.  :)
