#3 Chevy Camero

"...with twice the horse power needed. Used to show other guys how manly you really are."

Chevy Director: So, whaddaya callin' this mean machine?

Chevy Designer: A "C'mere, ho'," for now.

Chevy Director: "Camaro," eh? That has a good, horsey-sounding ring! Let's roll this baby out!

Just as a woman can wear anything she wants to, from a chiffon dress to dungarees and boots, a woman can also drive any car she wants to, and it can be any color, and any horsepower.

However, a guy cannot drive a car that is deemed to be feminine, or too weak, and a guy has a limited choice of colors - obviously that means no purples and no pinks, and no pastels.

This is a picture of the first car my husband and I ever bought, a 1973 Opal GT. What a wonderful car that was! I wish we had kept it......

Stick shift = guy car; pickup (especially 4-wheel drive) = guy car.
"Cute" convertibles, mini-vans, and Japanese or European SUVs are chick cars.

My wife's car is a Mitsubishi Galant; how can you tell it's a chick car? The vanity mirror is on the driver's sun visor.

I'll tell you a guy's car: 1957 Hillman Minx, 4-cylinder, 4-speed (on the column, no less). Now THAT is a man's car. No woman could ever drive it.

" The VW Beetle. A chick car, definitely. And made to be so. How? I know of no other automoblie with a FLOWER VASE as standard equipment."

Sorry to differ, but Rolls have flower vases too!

Does anyone have a link to the worst cars thread? It was such a long time ago, but I would like to read it again. Do free republic archives go that far back?

My new fav. 450hp 0-60 in 4.5, pure luxury. Or you could have the wagon with juevos! So many unsuspecting people you could scare with this.

You're ranking a Mustang over a Vette or Viper? Now I see why you bought a Miata.

I think most anything produced by the big three pre-1970 would qualify as a guy car, and my first vehicle would definitely qualify even though it doesn't fall into that category. It was a '66 International Travelall, not a sexy car by any stretch of the imagination, but one of the toughest things on four wheels ever. I miss it horribly.

I have a feeling that color matters more than is considered in this article.
I have a '91 black Firebird, 146,000 miles, and a teal Camaro convertible, also a '91, both with the Chevy small-block V-8. My wife generally drives the Camaro.
The Camaro seems awfully chickish to me, I think due to the teal color. It didn't hit me that way when we bought the car back in '92 but now I get the feeling that even a Humvee would appear pretty chickish in teal.

Here's mine:

well ok this one isn't mine, but it looks very similar. Mine is a 4x4 so it sits a bit higher, and doesn't have the front emblem on it and it has chrome side steps. Oh and I think mine is prettier, (probably because my husband built it)! Great chick car!
