I plan on asking this girl out on a date, but can't really picture her in my car. Most people our age don't have cars though so she wouldn't exactly be expecting a rolls royce or anything. But still.. my car isn't that cool and like I said.. couldn't really picture her in it. My Dad however has a regular Mercedes. What if I made an excuse about my car being repaired and brought my Dad's instead. I know a friend of mine who used his Dad's audi for a date once. But on the other hand, would it look bad if she new I was going out of my way for her? What do you think?
so you're not actually 20? because i don't know any 20 year olds without a car. you are actually a troll, right?
Regardless if he is a troll or not I'll treat this post as legitimate because I think the general question is one that many people (guys especially) have. Take your own car unless there's a safety issue with it. Also don't feel bad, in fact the national trend in the USA is that less and less young people have or even want their own cars and are relying more on public transit nowadays. Rising college tuition costs are also influencing why people are cutting back on buying a car. (which you pay luxury tax on annually, but you should know this) So don't let an issue like this affect your self-esteem. If she's got a problem with it be a man and dump her.
a regular mercedes, do you mean the C class? If she's the type of girl that gets impressed with a C class you might as well drive your ole beater
He's posting from an Irish IP. Common to not have a car at 20 in the UK, so I'd assume the same for the Republic.
If you can't love your car, and be proud to drive it no matter what anyone thinks, I hope, for her sake, that she's not fooled, either way. You need to spend some quality time cursing and bleeding and rounding off nuts and leaking various fluids on the driveway. Your relationship with your car is the important one, here.
In Ireland over 60% of the price the car is one form of tax or another.. hence cars are twice as expensive, so many youths don't have one
Drive your dad's car, but tell her you're driving it cuz it's nicer than your shitmobile. Two problems solved. you both get to ride around in a nice one but she knows you ain't tryin to fool anyone.
