Yar, I understood that as well, but My point remained the same: women of ALL ages have asked Me that question and just because she might have a few years on her does not guarantee any level of maturity whatsoever.
I agree about your position on newer cars as well. One of My previous girlfriends did not believe Me when I casually mentioned that My Cougar effortlessly blew the doors off of the most notable factory-direct muscle cars. She came by a few days later with a borrowed Z-28 and... lets just say that it was a good thing there were no LEOs about. She was SO upset, lol. Give Me an older muscle-car with a decent V8 any day, and you can keep your cookie-cutter newer Gutless Wonders (not you personally, lol).
You know, I think there is another interesting aspect to the financial aspects of dating. I truly believe that above a certain income level, one's financial comfort is more a matter of spending habits than earning level. I've known too many people with large salaries who live paycheck to paycheck. On the other hand, men who know how to handle things themselves, and who don't need custom tailored suits or Rolex watches are able to take care of their families much better. I think that is part of the old car thing, too. A lot of guys get caught up in their "hot" new cars to mask the fact that they would have no clue what do with an older one. There's just something about a guy with a brand new sports car who doesn't even know how to change the oil, don't you think???
