I was listening to the Laura Ingraham radio show today and they were talking about how some cars are girly cars and some are manly cars. Laura was particularly mentioning that the Mazda Miata was a girly car. This was news to me. Her assisitant chimed in with saying the Mazda 3 was a girly car. This was also news to me. I'm in the market for a new car and was thinking of buying the MAzda 3 or a Miata. I've been told that the 3 has fewer service issues than other Mazda cars.
Of course one would gather that the manly cars would be trucks.
One girly car I've noticed is the VW Beetle. I've never seen a man driving one of those.
What do Freepers think? What cars are girly cars and what cars are manly cars.
I was a young man when the Mustang came out, every guy I knew wanted one, I can’t remember it ever being touted as a woman’s car. For what it’s worth, the corvette came out with a six the first year or so also. That is because Chevy didn’t market a V8 at that time, not until the ‘55 models came out(in 1954) with the 265.
One of the funniest writers ever, I have never read that one(The Mountain Car)but well remember his story about the bicycle and riding down the hill past his neighbors "wolf".
Why the hell is this important? Cars are a utility, not an extension of your crotch.
there are just some cars that if you are not a man when you buy it, then the women attracted to you because you own it will make you a man...
when men are men,
cars are cars,
and women are greatful...
is that like a car sex change opperation?
(cue shower scene from “crying game”....)
Thanks for the link to The Mountain Car, typical of his writings, funny and brings back memories also(my brother and I had our own version of a Mountain Car).
L0L! Didn’t we all?
Any Jaguar - Girlie car, cause I WANT ONE! One with the Cat on it, not the new ones. v12 please. kthksbai.
Crap. I never looked at the Edsel as a man-in-the-boat car, until now.
Well that’s odd. No one comments on this thread for almost a year and a half and then suddenly a few comments today. FWIW, I bought a Toyota Tacama late last year and I love it.
Have you ever heard Jeff Dunham’s comedy routine about the time he had to drive his wife’s powder blue Prius? Hilarious!
