"Listen -- strange women lying in ponds distributing swords
is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives
from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony."
--- "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"

My point is, a woman merely trotting into a gym to drink from expensive water bottles, hang a towel on a treadmill just to get a few minutes to watch The View is not a mandate from the masses!

If so, she was wasting her time and breath on me, as the last thing I need is a young hottie who complains because someone "gave her" the wrong model C7.
Besides I'm not one of the "social" gym rats who are just there to shoot the breeze and flirt with the opposite sex, I actually put in a serious workout, hopefully without being disturbed.

Definitely, wouldn't have been cool for me to pull out my phone and start taking pictures of her. I wasn't interested in her but didn't want to appear as a "Dork" either.

The Stingray is hardly a chick car. Not sure where she got that idea, but it's her opinion and probably not shared by many others.

If it has chrome wheels? Yeah, you may hear that more and more. May also depend on how you look as well.

She probably was just trying to say something funny or witty. I mean unless someone has a Senna, LaFerrari or something similar, there is always going to be a car out there that would make their car a "chick's car".

Back in the days, I knew someone who bought a Porsche 911 and made fun of a Boxster passing by and called it "a poor man's Porsche". So I said, "Huh? That is a Porsche fool!!!"

He was my friend's friend who I barely met at the event so I didn't care enough to go on a long debate with him about it. But after I found out he was a dentist who likes to refer to himself as "Doctor", I wanted to ask him, "So... is a dentist a poor man's doctor?" No disrespect to dentists or anyone's profession, but this guy was just something.
