Top 10 Cars to Drive If You Don't Have a Date on Valentine's Day
By editors at Edmunds.com
Date Posted 02-08-2005
Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and you realize that you don't have a special someone to take out for cocktails and dinner. Wallowing in self-pity, you wonder how you'll ever get through the evening alone. Fortunately, you might not have to. That is, if you like to drive. We asked our staff of driving enthusiasts which cars they'd most want to drive if they were facing a dateless Valentine's Day. We're talking about cars that are so entertaining that you'll forget all about the empty seat next to you.
Responses ran the gamut from obvious choices like the Corvette and Mercedes SL65 to oddball picks like the wienermobile and Grave Digger the monster truck. "Nobody likes to be stuck in traffic, especially if you're riding solo on Valentine's Day," said the editor who insisted on the enormous pickup. "In Grave Digger you can just drive over the traffic, crushing all those lovey-dovey, hand-holding couples in the process." To keep things simple, and legal, for those of you reading this, we pared down our final list to those cars that you can actually walk into a dealership and buy (or at least get on the waiting list). And who knows? Some of them just might be flashy enough to get you a last-minute date.

I'd rather have the date (and I do), but none of those cars is particularly inspiring to me.

A date, of course. I like my Lexus better than any of these. ;)

Top 10 Cars to Drive If You Don't Have a Date on Valentine's DayI've heard it said those who drive giant SUVs are compensating for some shortcoming.
Therefore, I might suggest a HUMMERTM.

That Corvette looks mighty sweet! I've always liked Corvettes, but it's always been out of my price range. I guess, just as with men, I'll have to settle for just looking.

It's sort of the opposite, but if you're driving a gold, 1976 AMC Pacer, with the fake wood panneling peeled off one side, an eight track, and the muffler secured by a wire hanger, you're very likely not to have a date tonight.

The 2005 Ford Mustang and the Dodge Ram SRT-10 are cool.

My wife has taken extra-good care of her "suspension" all of these years and now that the kids are out of the house I believe we'll keep the "car in the garage". I'm as nuts about that woman as when we were kids...probably even more!
