What's your whip?

I drive an old Porsche. It cost me half the amount of a brand new Ford Fiesta but the running costs are a little bit higher. I like it because it's fast as fuck and fun with the top down. Chicks also dig it.

I daily drive my Camaro Z28. I bought it because it's fun as fuck and I like sports cars. I would never buy anything to impress anyone, either get in or don't. Around where I live girls seem to follow and pursue guys with trucks. Again I would never buy a truck just for that reason. I have nothing to tow so I don't need a truck.

2010 Honda Accord. Bells and whistles. It can hold all my drums and gets hella gas mileage. It's not much to look at it, but it sure is pretty when she's washed up really clean.

A crappy 2004 golf.

Standard transmission, of course.

A nondescript 1998 Ford ranger, about as practical and utilitarian as it gets. No, I won't help you move.

Driving an expensive car because you think it will attract hot girls isn't the right move. Being flashy and trying to pick up women with your fancy wheels will only get you gold diggers and girls who pin you for a provider while they bang other guys on the side. I drive what I drive because it's what I want to do and what I want to spend money on. If driving a 911 Turbo or a Ferrari 458 is what you can afford/want to do then great, but do it for you, not for any woman who will latch on to you for the ride. I've always been a fan of the weekday and sunday cars. Live within your means, own something practical, but if you can by all means buy whatever you want to go on a sunday cruise on the backroads, as long as its for you, not her.

I drive a 2008 Jeep Unlimited (4door) Rubicon

All black with nice big 33's.

It's fun as hell to roll around in the summer with the roof and doors off. Kick ass to go to the beach with. Kick ass to use to go off-roading to catch a nice sun with and have a little "camp out". Reliable, doesn't get stuck and actually pulls a ton of other people out in the winter. Has hammocks, and a kick ass sound system.

It's fun, functional, and looks totally bad ass. Especially with the intake/chip/exhaust (all installed by yours truly)

I drive a Ford Focus, doesn't get any panties wet, but it gets me back and forth to work just fine.

In the summer I have a couple of motorcycles, and that's when its fun to pick up a girl and take her for a spin. If they haven't been on a bike before, they are so nervous, and when they get off they are just tingling because it was exciting, dangerous, and something new. Plus I have some cool motorcycle stories to talk about after doing some road trips. Although I will admit the motorcycle thing has brought a lot of shit tests as well, girls either love em or hate em.

And if I pull up in the Focus and she gets all bitchy about what I drive, its a pretty quick indicator about how little time I want to spend with her.

If you're driving an expensive car because you think it will help you get women, then you're doing it wrong.

Cars should be a tool to help you get from point A to point B, period. A central tenet of RP philosophy is accumulating and conserving your monetary resources. Buying an expensive car just means it depreciates that much faster when your drive it off the lot.

I live in a big city that has lots of homeless people and, as such, there is a significant amount of property crime, particularly crime that is directed toward automobiles. I need a car, so I went and bought a car that looks like a piece of shit on the outside but is actually very reliable and dependable under the hood. I laugh at the people who park their Mercedes or BMWs on the street and then find the next morning that their windows have been broken or their tires slashed.

If you are in a position financially where you can afford to buy an expensive car, and it's something that YOU want, then sure, do whatever you want, it's your money ultimately. Under any other circumstance, you need to do this.

2003 Toyota Yaris. 211,000 miles, running like a champ. I fucking love that car. Keep it polished, keep it vacuumed, keep it maintained because I care about it. It has the added benefit that women see how I take care of my car and it says something about me, apparently.

Honda NC700X motorcycle.

It's easy to say things like "nice cars are beta game" ... and in ~~some~~ a lot of instances this can certainly be true. In reality however (at least in America) the car you drive is part of who you are. If your car is overly flashy for your income level you scream "try hard" but if your car is dependable, reliable, rough around the edges what does that say about you? I think you should view cars similar to clothing, an Armani suit won't get you laid by itself, but even with awesome game it would be hard to get laid if you look like a dirty street bum.

To answer the original question: I drive an 06 Yellow Colorado with more than a few dents, but like another poster commented I have a pretty nice bike.

The highest status is not giving a damn - drive whatever you enjoy and can afford and don't be insecure about it. If expensive, that is often a roadster. If not expensive, can be an all-terrain jeep, an old convertible - or just a motorbike. Whatever makes you enjoy driving. Or riding, in case of them bikes.

The British Vice Ambassador assigned to Hungary has a Trabant. Because it is so incredibly bad, that makes the driving experience a form of sarcastic fun, a technological joke. Gallery here And if fun is being had, who cares about the rest? Any woman prefers a man who is secure in enjoying in himself rather than a try-hard.

I drive a 2011 Z71 4x4, its free.... from work.

Downvote-worthy.

Let's try to avoid dilution, brothers...r/askTRP if you must.
