Girls like men with expensive looking cars because they see them as a provider.
The clue is in the name
Hello sweet cheeks want a ride in my Low cost? No that minimal bodywork and lack of windscreen is to make it faster!
Hello sweet cheeks want a ride in my Bentley? Yes that is nappa leather and it will wipe down!
Most people can spot a 7 as being a kit car, they are never going to be cool to young ladies.
My tip: The only way to make them like your car is buy another one. I have found that most (none car loving) girls are fooled by a nicely polished MK2
MR2

Are you sure you were at a car place? that seems pretty bad, I wouldn't want work done on my car by anyone who didn't no what your car
would look like based on the options you gave. Did you say, 'Yeah, Like a Cobra but with less body work in a different shape' or something
to that effect.
Its not just women, loads of people know less than nothing about cars. I'd second the MR2 thing, If you want to use a car to pull a woman (I
don't know why you would) thats your best bet for cheaps. That or a Beetle

Apparently mine looks like Herbie, according to one of my girlfriend's mates. While stopped for a bite to eat on the way home with it a woman
asked what it was & told me of the Ginetta she had when younger, she also wished me well with the build so she obviously knew the score!

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

In Hungary I have not even the slightest chance of someone knowing about the Lotus seven, so I just keep saying: "It's a race
car..."
For me kitcars are more about function than form, hence many are not appealing to most people. If you asked around what the prettiest car in the world
is, you would never get a race car as a response - unless the other party is a complete car nut...
That said, most own design (ie not replica) kitcars are way too ugly...
I like the look of the Murtaya coupe though...

"Fiesta? FIESTA!? Why the hell would I build a little tinbox with a name that sounds like it should be covered in chocolate and have a wafer
centre?"
I'd just offer the naysayers a ride, stepdaughter complains I drive too slow so when she decided to come out with just me I floored it and she
was screaming before I hit 30!

They will be either into it or not, and do you really care? Of course not!
