Most of the time they want to get a look at the driver but do not want to be caught looking. There's probably another 20 or 30 reasons but nobody can figure it out for sure, like someone said above - head games.

It's an "attention span" thing.
Don't take it personal. They aren't looking away from your car, they just saw something else "shiny" and got distracted. After the other shiny thing exceeds the range of their proximity sensors they focus their sights back on you again (in reality they are experiencing you all over for the first time, as each new distraction resets their memory buffer) - this is normal behavior for the species - where have you been?
They are always searching for the perfect ex-husband of their dreams and multiple Zaino coats can trick the female mind, triggering the diamond-cortex sensory center at the base of the brain that is responsible for evaluating their next victim.
***Exception - if the woman you were referring to is a school teacher, and you are over 18, she may actually be looking away!
(Note: This does not apply to C5-GIRL who apparently has already had the bypass sucessfully performed and can now function at a higher level of mental acuity.)

Huh,
Alot of people tell me that my car is a chic magnet and that the vette is just a mid-life crisis thing. Maybe I'm selfish, but my car is for me. I fixed it up, maintain it, shine it, because I like it.
If it helps me get a little tail, well, I thats ok too.

It depends on your location. If you like guys, go to Virginia. If you prefer girls that will talk to you, go to the midwest. If you prefer girls that will do something about it....go to Vegas or Cali!!!!

The absolute FUNNIEST reaction I've gotten in my car was from an anorexic looking crackhead woman walking on the sidewalk. I drive into south Oshawa for work (I work at the GM Engineering facility by the Oshawa car plant), and there are quite a few characters roaming around down there!
This woman, probably only 35 but looked 55, skinny as a broomstick and wearing beat up blue jeans and a tank top, is walking towards me as I round a corner. Since I "appeared" rather quickly coming around the corner she had no time to plan her reaction... she stared at me for about a second and then started bouncing up and down as she walked, throwing her hair up into the wind with a huge gaptooth smile on her face.
I'm not putting her down or anything, just trying to paint the picture. I laughed SO HARD I almost had to pull over... she really did look ridiculous.
Generally people do look at my car, but I don't think women are really "checking me out" because of it.

OK..... 'enuff of the woman bashing - it's all 
besides, where would you all be without us?!
you guy's are doing good finding your keys in the morning.. and let's not even get started on how you'll drive around for 100 miles without asking for directions...
I personally could care less what a man drives, it's the person inside. I'm sure there's women out their that think like that - but not all of us.
Just my .02

I've been wondering where you've been Lori
Yea, isn't that funny - how about how they'll try to catch you at the light
I've had a guy walking down the sidewalk, watching me in the car, & he ran into the handicap sign 
the look on his face was priceless - he looked around to make sure nobody saw him

a -smile- .. perhaps a wave if you're feelin ambitious.
If the lady runs into another car while staring, that might be a positive indicator .. or .. she may have been looking at something behind you.
You have to actually 'communicate' to make sure.
You know ..talk to her.
Eye contact, direct, honest .. that whole thing.
Anything else is just your imagination.
