No point in being coy about what I'm looking for :)  Everyone knows
there are certain cars that people look at -- do we really have to be
P.C. and say "people"? -- that women look at, and think "money".  What
are some of the most cost-efficient cars out there that trigger that
kind of reaction?  For example it looks like a Ford Mustang
convertible can be had for about $20,000 while a Jaguar convertible
can cost about $90,000, despite the fact that the Mustang would
usually do just as good of a job.

I hope there's not too much resentment among serious car afficionados
towards people who are looking for a fancy car just to look good.  We
are helping to keep the industry going, after all :)  (I'm also trying
to find something that has a back row of passenger seats, and which is
an automatic... as if you weren't all sneering at me enough, I can't
drive a stick shift.  Although if it would save me thousands of
dollars on a chick magnet car, I might be willing to learn.)

Bugatti Veyron?

However this one might be slightly more expensive than the mustang.

Get a matchbox car, put it in your pocket, and walk around.

The chicks will imagine, from the awkward way you're walking that you
spend most of your time driving a fancy sportscar.

But seriously, the sexiness/cost ratio is probably best with no car at
all. It's easy for a car to backfire when local fashions change and
it'll make you look like a w.nker. It's a fine line, you should just
get something you personally feel good in, then you'll notice the
pervs.

As if asking the original question DOESN'T???

Do you want to look rich, or do you want to look cool?

If you want to look cool, consider the original VW bug.  You can find one
for under a couple thousand, and believe it or not, women really look at them.
They aren't all that fun to drive, perhaps, but people wave at you on the
highway.

If you want to look rich, consider an early-seventies Mercedes.  They are
available very cheaply and have that "hand me down from my very rich father"
old money look.

Ah. You're trolling for skank. Sorry, if a woman is attracted to that
kind of car as opposed to being able to recognize a vintage classic, I
find it a complete turn-off.

How 'bout you buy a car that you think looks good, then you'll
"attract" the kind of women that share your values?

Just hope that attracts the kind of woman that carries her own impact wrench.

Oddly enough, I am attracted to precisely that type of female :)  See,
the theory works!

Any of the old Boat Tail Roadster cars are almost 100 percent guaranteed
to attract women.A couple of days ago, I was watching an old Cary Grant
Topper movie.I think that was a Graham Boat Tail Roadster convertible
car he was driving.
