-Women may be interested in your car because it is expensive. Don't confuse being interested in its cost as being actually interested in the car itself.
-Women may work on cars, take some interest in your vehicular hobbies--but to no crazy extent that men do. And if given the opportunity they probably wouldn't want to spend the weekend dropping the motor on your car/truck/motorbike.
-You tell your wife she can have any car she wants she'll either go for the most expensive one, or the one she thinks is "cute" ...or both.

Ok first off, all you guys making comments about women wanting "cute" cars and have NO interest in a modified vehicle......my right leg is shaking very extensively during the time I read your posts - that is soooooooooooo not true! LOL - things like this are funny to me. Ok you may be like 80% right...lol...but there ARE women out there who do appreciate a good build, and WILL stand side by side with a boyfriend or guyfriend to help drop an engine in over the weekend. BEEN THERE DONE THAT. Just sayin' because I am a 24-year old blonde who doesn't mind getting dirty and working on a car. I actually went to school to BECOME a mechanic but realized I wanted to better utilize my creative skills. People are shocked when I tell them I use to go to school for that. Their faces are priceless. Anyway, now I am a graphic designer/marketing manager (for a aftermarket performance auto parts company) and design in car magazines that I know you all pick up and read....I also own my own dirt bike and use to ride quads and plan to buy another one soon. I am not going to go and rant on about myself but I'm just letting you know that you can be a beautiful woman and appreciate racing, cars, engines, changing your own oil, drifting, getting muddy, lifted trucks, superchargers, turbos, a nice paint job....etc. Sorry you all just don't know someone who fits this category
Or maybe you do..haha.
As for the ladies who have already put the down payment on the FR-S or the ones who are already driving theirs - AWESOME! You guys rock and I am glad to see some female activity on here. You're basically my motivation to get the ball rolling and try even harder to pay off my bills to get my FR-S. I'm jealous of all of you lol. I hope everything goes well and your get mad respect for becoming a part of the community
Guys, I know it's pretty easy to just assume most girls aren't auto friendly but next time you see a sexy woman at a car event or whatever, just remember, you never know her hobbies, capabilities, interests (when it comes to cars)...unless you take the time to get to know her. She could know more then you, and rotate a tire better then you. Heck - I've meet a few men who don't even know how to change their oil....it is what it is.
Thanks everyone for the feedback! Either way, we all love and appreciate the same car, so rock on!
