Maybe "inexpensive" or "a great deal" would be more appropriate to say because these cars are definately not "cheap".

 

MSRP is irrelevent.

A person with good enough taste that is willing to sacrifice higher fuel mileage and cargo room to purchase a Crossfire, then care for it like it was his/her child, is a classy individual who understands and values passion in vehicles.

That's what makes a Crossfire more than "just a car".


People buy "just cars" to sip fuel back and forth from work or carry their dog.

 

FYI, my comments weren't sad!

 

You are correct, I should have used inexpensive or "Cheap - Price wise"

 

As for the date excuse, that was just her way of telling you nicely that she wasn't interested. Had nothing to do with your car. Sorry bro, but at least she didn't just tell you that you weren't good looking enough for her or smelled bad.

 

The price of the car was not my relevent point in my original post. My point was that its is kinda sad to see people "bash" someone (in this case the girl in the date story) just because she used the car as an excuse not to see they OP again... Maybe she was just being nice and used that excuse to avoid further hurting the OP's feelings... The price of the car was brought up to show how strangely that these peple would jump to defend the Crossfire as such... Makes ya feel like it was a one of a kind exotic... which it is not..

 

My wife always says that I love my car more than I love her, I wonder if she is trying to tell me that she is going to leave me?

 

Exactly my point..

 

What is an OP?

 

OP = Original Poster (Person who started the thread)

 

Maybe she is into guys that live in a van down by the river

 

Sorry the girl flaked at the end - But better to know early than after spending lots of time and money and getting your hopes up! As for the Crossfire, I see exactly what Hangman is saying. It's a cool car, but it isn't necessarily bragging rights. It appeals to some (myself and my wife included), but we don't pretend we're driving around in a $40K+ Mercedes. We just enjoy it for what it is ... No more, no less.

that's funny.
ask for another date and drive a molester mobile (short van, preferably dodge or ford, no windows, late 80's, etc.) maybe she'll dig that.

 

"Seriously folks.. its just a car!

you would think that its a GOD from reading the response from all those who worship it here..."


Hangman,......You are a Blasphemous heathen

"Because you obviously care about your car too much" translated: You won't spend any money on me.
One down, a half a billion to go...........
Hangman: it may not be God but it is the path to Nirvana!!

 

I have the opposite problem - if it wasn't for having the Crossfire I wouldn't attract any female interest. No BO or BB...just middle-aged and homely. I have had women in clubs strike up conversations just to go for a ride. So - that's even more superficial.

In summary, not every date works out. Write her off and move on. And ease off on the vanilla scent. Try leaving some dirty sweat socks behind her seat and let the pherenomes do their work.

 

Just think of it this way, there's 2 things in life you need more than women, air & water. Luckily for us they are in much greater supply....

 

Just a quick question for the "OP" -- Once you realized that she liked your Crossfire, did you continue to talk about it during the date? I know you said that you were shocked that she was into cars, so maybe that opened the door for you to talk about the car. Maybe she just got tired of hearing you talk about it and assumed that any future dates would go the same way. I'm not saying that that's what happened; I'm just asking. I'm trying to find some rationale other than that (a) she wasn't interested in you based on your personality, or (b) she found you offensive (B.O., B.B., etc.). Just asking.

 

Blame the woman on an unsucessful date? why? either way it did not work out and you have to deal with it.. go home and jerk off... unfortunatly... absolutely halarious to read the posts of on this thread... Hangman I with you on this one.. at least for the most part...

Maybe you are doing to much to impress? I sure hope the flowers was not for the first date... you see when someone really wants to get to know you and impress you.. it always feels like they have some kind of agenda behind it.. and prolly she felt this way.. and did not want to offend you directly so she said something negative about the car..

Don't take it to heart move on find other woman to practice your wooing on... but remmber if you are using the crossfire (or anything for that matter) as a prop make sure it is natrual to you and don't make it.. as if it is a big deal to you... let it be your way of life a set of high standards you expect her to fit into as well..

I may be wrong and she may be a complete psycho, but somehow I don't think so...

 

Doctor Love in da hizzouse...

The girl I had a date with was telling me how on one date she had, this guy brought flowers and candy on the first date. She said she felt like it was way too much.

Then I told her how on one date with one girl, we went to a bar to hang out and her dad kept calling her every half hour. She got a kick out of that story. LOL.
