Gender Cars

What's wrong with being cute or pretty?

Besides, man cars are NOT all cool as 'girl' cars.

 

Oh, gosh, it's fine. A car's a car. And if you like it, that's even better.
I'm going to drive a huge pickup truck, so it's kind of similar for me but the opposite, you know? I'm going to get accused of being a dyke (which I am, so it's cool). But it doesn't matter. If it gets you places, it's serving its purpose.

 

Try not to feel self-conscious about breaking gender stereotypes. You'd be much more unhappy if you spent your life checking your behaviour (and cars) for sufficient masculinity. Sod the haters, it's their loss.

 

I drive a purple girlie car that's my mom's old car. I honestly don't give a shit what other people think. It handles great, was inexpensive, hasn't given mechanical problems and is good on gas.

 

Years ago when the Mini Coopers first came out there were racing series for the Cooper SS.They were fantastic race cars and incredibly fast. The Mini Copper's pedigree is that of a race car and not a "Girlie" car.

 

It's not exactly masculine, but that does not look like a girly car, besides, who cares!

Me too! But if I do, I'll have to get a job or hobby where I'd actually use it properly.

 

I want to drive a Mazda when I finally pass my test. That's pretty damn gay.

The only really manly car that I like is the post-'05 Ford Mustang, and they're pretty much exclusively American cars.

 

"I know it ultimately doesn't matter" -- If having a stylish car didn't matter , then we would all go around wearing trenchcoats and unitards from startrek. Since style does matter, you chose a car whose style, you liked; something that probably matches your personal preference.

Now you can either be ashamed of your choice of cars, and say "my mom picked it", if your friends ever rag on you for it, OR you can be comfortable with the fact that you like cars that might be a tinge 'girly'. If you choose the latter, some people might disagree with you, but they will respect your confidence. Don't force them to understand why you like the car though, because that would probably end with you coming out to them.

 

Yeah, totally agree. It's something you'll use most days, you don't want to get up and think "Oh god, it's ugly..." so style does help. If you like your Rav4, think of it as your own little secret way of being honest with yourself; your little treat. There are much gayer cars than the Rav4, anyways. If someone rags at you for it... well, start ragging on their car. Start talking about how they're just jealous because their car is held together with rust, or how it costs them more on petrol, or that it's just plain ugly. Don't be aggressive about it, just take the mickey a little. Turnabout is fair play.

 

Hey... I drive a purple minivan. So... yeah, lol. I never thought of it as a 'girlie car' because I'm the one driving it and I don't look at me when I'm driving lol

 

I think my car is kinda gender neutral. I drive a greenish silverish Mazda 6. But I agree with what the others are saying and you shouldn't worry about what other people think (I know that's easier said than done at times though). As long as it gets you to where you're going and you like it, well, that's all that matters.

 

I don't think Rav-4s are girly. All the people I know who drive them are guys.

By the way, the Mustang is a chick car. Sorry Jeimuzu! If you look at who drives them, 80% are girls.

 

It's not really a girly car. And if it is around where you live, it is just a car and you will survive. But if the constant fear of scrutiny is to much for you, just make some exuse as to why you got it, like "It was a really good deal" or your parent's paid for it, so you had no say.

But as far as gender-typing cars, the stereo-types are only there so we can brake them.
I should know, I drive a VW Beetle :icon_wink

 

i would say that it is neutral..if you want a mascaline car try a Aston Martin V8 Vantage convertible

 

Not sure your average teen has that sorta money. That's like, £100,000 or something.

You've been watching too much top gear.

 

I am SO getting a beetle when I'm 18!
