Default First date

Time for a fun, off-the-wall question.

Do you take the vette on the first date?

Or take the daily driver first and save the vette for a later date?

That would depend upon the daily driver. If my daily were a Lexus IS350 or an Infiniti G35 Coupe or sedan, then yes, I'd take that car to a crowded parking lot. However, if the first date were to a countryside cafe with plenty of parking space, then the Vette would be a must.

I've been out of the dating scene for so long, and I can't answer this with any actual facts - but by personal observation - I think most females today aren't all that impressed by Vettes. I think they are more impressed with how you treat them, how you present yourself and how you conduct yourself than they are with the car that you drive.

So my answer is show up in the DD (unless of course your Vette is the only car).

Remember - if you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with

I probably would.....Unless I wanted to pick her up on my pedal bike (which i dont have) or the company truck-

I think the majority of girls are impressed by a vette rollin' by, maybe just location, where they arent seen often.

Neither...my wife does all of our drivin'.

Actually, she decides on which of our vehicles she wants to drive. As of late, she's chosen the C5 as her 'daily driver'.

Depends on their age...

Could be way off here...but..
seems like w/ girls 24 and under a 'Vette
will score you some points cause of the
speed..excitement..style..factor.

But w/ females 25 and over...well seems
like luxury cars BMW, Mercedes, and Lexus
would be where it's at.

When I went on the first date with my now wife, I took the DD. Couldn't have taken the Vette if I wanted to anyway - wheels were out being polished.

C'mon girl! Get on my hog....




On a serious note, do what you want... if she appraciates a nice car, cool. If she gets the wrong impression, she's got security issues and she'll probably try and make you sell the car down the mine, if you end up with her. I'd take it.
