That is an interesting sub-sub genre of pornography you’re referenced there!
I guess “woman in jeopardy” is timeless.
lol. Unless I miss my guess that’s from Top Gear BBC is it not??
They are pretty rare. Dodge only made them in 55 and 56 if I remember correctly. I have only seen one in my lifetime.
The exact opposite is the truth.
Do these tires make my trunk look fat..............?
Hiding with the rest of the guys....
Women want a car that makes them look beautiful.
These are the truth.
This is not true. Turbos frequently break down and are very expensive to repair or replace. Go ahead, do it.
That is a classic post.
Wow, you got me. I’ll take it!!
Actually I’ve got my eye on a little ‘65 Falcon Futura but I think I’ll have to stick with my ol’ minivan for another year.
Other than that I’d like to try out the Subaru WRX. We’re looking to buy some land off a dirt road, we have 2 kids, and a need for speed. Schizo, those 2 choices, I know, but I can’t decide between my love of classics and the desire to haul ass in a safe and practical manner. ;)
I have a 16 Tacoma. The 12 was sunk in unplanned disastrous amphibious escapade back in October. I was caught in the floods here in SC.
Where’s the slots for my blowdryer and curling iron? Also the mirror needs to be twice as big and there needs to be a pull-out mirror on the back of my head rest so I can see how my hair looks from behind.
Truthfully, I love car shopping especially the research. It may take me two to three weeks to narrow things down before I seriously start my search. I always take my husband with me and always take the potential car to a trusted mechanic to look over. I only buy used so that’s an essential element. I don’t trust car salesmen but I enjoy haggling with them. It can be a fun process if done correctly. (Also, I always have my financing in place prior to purchasing any car.)
Only when the little red light comes on.
You are correct. Old people’s car episode
Not necessarily.
A good salesman knows how to push the emotional buttons of men or women ... I don’t care if it is cars or anything else. Advertising too. It’s virtually all based on emotion (of which ego is a big component).
I’ve gone to car dealerships where the salesman is expressly targeting the male ego based on whether he can afford the car. There are subtle ways to imply that if you buy the more expensive model, or upgrades, you’ll be viewed more favorably as a men. Men respond to this.
I use this tactic all the time with men in a different context. Salespeople use it for one and only one reason ... it works 95% of the time.
It also varies with what you are selling. With many women an ego approach works well with apparel, especially designer apparel. With autos, the ego approach works better on men.
Back in olden times, my mom was going to buy a car, and she insisted on a Dodge. Being the helpful sort of son that I was, I assured her that a Charger was what she wanted (this would have been 1968, or thereabouts).
Well, she actually went to the stealership to ask about it, and the salesman asked her why she wanted that particular car, and she explained her son recommended it. The guy asked her how old I was.
That was the end of the Charger deal.
Her main objection was she couldn’t get bench seats for the grocery bags.
Bob Dylan said it well...
“Just like a woman”
My favorite episode is when they built the space shuttle....classic.
A good salesperson should always first seek to identify a prospective customer’s criteria, then try to satisfy their criteria as much as possible
A car that makes them look younger, thin and sexy?
The problem with the LaFemme is that no man would ever be seen in it as a driver OR as a passenger. That includes real boys older than seven.
My wife’s favorite cars were our 1994 Chevy Caprice Wagon with the 350 ci LT-1 engine. Her (the car not the wife) name was Wilma, after the whale on boxes of Vanilli Crunch cereal. The first car I gt her was a ‘73 baby blue Dodge Dart 4 door with a white vinyl roof. But, the car she turned heads in was my 1965 Chrysler 300 hardtop coupe.
The LaFemme came with matching umbrella and raincoat that stored in a special snap in compartment behind the front seat that doubled as a purse.
