There are a couple of guys (who I wouldn't really call "car guys")at my work place that swear that the S2000 is a chick car. I told them yeah maybe the Del Sol but not the S2K. I think its a purely an enthusiast's car. They also say the 350 is a chick car. I think they don't have a clue. Just because they're small in size and are convertibles doesn't make them chick cars, although most "chick cars" are pretty small and convertible. Anyways below are lists I found of chick cars and guy cars. So can someone tell how anyone would think the S2000 could be on the chick's list?

the top 5 chick cars :[ie: what you, as a guy, should NOT be buying]
1. VW Beetle: "A chick car, definitely ... I know of no other automobile with a FLOWER VASE as standard equipment."
2. VW Cabriolet
3. Mazda Miata: "I discovered this phenomenon when I got a Miata. 'Girlie car.' That's all I heard."
4. VW Jetta
5. Dodge Neon: "Neons are Barbie cars: little and cute and rounded in the hips. Even in black, they are feminine and adorable, only just a bit tougher, like Tattoo Barbie."

top 5 guy cars:
1. Ford Mustang: "A back seat guaranteed to be too small for your mother-in-law."
2. Chevy Corvette
3. Chevy Camaro: "Used to show other guys how manly you really are."
4. Ford F-150 Pickup: "Any car with numbers or letters for a name, or tacked on the end, can become a guy car. For example, F-150 or Civic-SI."
5. Dodge Viper
-the general consensus is that black can make any car a guy car...to an extent i guess

Sounds like your friends have no clue!

No way is a 350z or a S2000 a chicks car. To be honest I don't think I've even seen a chick driving either of those cars ever... it's always a guy.

As for your list... I guess it's subjective (although there are a few cars that will be chick cars forever, ie. VW Beetle), but I disagree with a few. Miata... stock, maybe... but I've seen some killer Miatas hopped up nicely and they were all guys driving them. Ask Jens... he has/had a Miata that could probably smoke every car on this board... no way that's a chick car. I also disagree with the Neon.... although not entirely. I think the Neon is a girls car.. but the SRT4, no way.

As for the guys car list.. I'll agree they're all guys vehicles, but I'll also agree that each one has it's own stereotype associated with it except the Viper... so like I said.. each list is subjective.

ive seen several women driving 350zs..

not the s2k though.

mushutofu

Actually in Frisco a lot of chicks drive the S2000. WE think about the performacebut the chicks thinks its a cute car..ugh

My lil sis might get an S2K

Zapata

yer friends.....are dumb.

Scrib

Chick car my ass...

Standing 1/4 mile in low 14s, high 13s stock. Aggressive looks.

Chick car. lol

BEETROOT

I think its pretty girly looking. I would never buy one.

The only guy I have seen driving a 350z works at the same place as me and is gay. All of the 350's I see on the road are being driven by women. On the contrary, most of the g35's I've seen are driven by males. I love the S2K, it's my favorite car, but the only convertible in my opinion that doesn't look girly is a 427 cobra replica.

So there you have it.. the same car in two different locations can be driven by different genders. So your friends may have been observing it from your location.. so that makes this thread pointless

CLpower

I only see chicks driving CL's, go figure

joedokes28

Yeah, this thead is pointless. I would certainly drive an s2k or 350z.

joedokes28

I only see OLD men with white hair driving them.

JaDia4

A chick that I work with was given an automatic, touring 350 by her father. She says she wanted it because "its cute".

Chick car? I think not!

bkknight369

seeing a chick in an s2000 is the sexiest thing in the world

cmark

your friends must drive John Deere tractors if they think S2K's are chick cars

SportShiftTypeS

i agree with the others ... but the #1 car on your guy list has been taken over by females in my area. seems like every teenager girl is getting a base v6 mustang as their new ride.

jproy

I think that in stock form they have some minor styling characteristis of a chick car but that they are not. They are driving enthus's cars. I would drive either one. Based solely on styling there are few cars I would pick over them. For performance It would be hard not to consider one of these two cars. I think these two cars would look better with a hot blond driving them with the top down than my big goofy ass.

"i agree with the others ... but the #1 car on your guy list has been taken over by females in my area. seems like every teenager girl is getting a base v6 mustang as their new ride."

cudnt agree more. when i was in HS, soo many girls had a Mustang Conv. half of them were GTs tho. never a manual, of course. hehe.

GINge!

I'm more interested in "Tatoo Barbie" :-)

80's Boy

The is this hottie MILF in my neighborhood that drives a Z0-6 on a regular basis, that must make the Vette a chicks car too.

GreenMonster

No, I don't think that a S2000 is a chicks car, but I do agree that "A Boxster is a Porsche with panties "

One of the VP's at work has a BMW Z4. Guy owns 2nd gen TL, his wife has an X5, so I thought he was cool until I found out it has the STEPTRONIC Automatic Transmission

If a sportscar has an automatic in it, chances are, it's a chick car.

You can't get the S2000 with an auto tranny, so it's definitely a guys car.

NiteQwill

I have a Jetta. Well, acutally 3. And a GTI 1.8T and 1.8L 83 RHD. Does that make me a "chick"?:P The day a "car" determines a persons sex, tell me. Last time I was at an AutoX, I saw a "chick's car" beat the shit out of a C5 and a Miata... holy crap guess what it was? A Beetle...

Chaptorial

I have yet to see a girl driving an S2000. Have seen plenty of passengers but no drivers.

liquid_x

seen many 350zs and s2ks driven by girls round here

its a beautiful sight to see

proaudio22

SL55 isn't a girls car. Neither is the SLR. Let's say any sports car <$50K that is an auto is a girls car.

The S2000 def isn't girly. A guy I know that has one drives his mom's X5 half the time tho, and she drives the S2000. Most peeps that really don't know what it is would call it a girls car b/c that's mostly who you see driving small roadsters like this.

About the cute thing - wtf is up with girls and cute shit? Girls are calling shit cute all the time. That car is cute, your car is cute, etc. Then they don't get why it pisses guys off.

18anatak

Tons of girls have S2000's around here. But the 350z is mainly guy driven.

it bothers me when i see men driving V6 mustangs

GreenMonster

Ok, ok... I take that comment back. Some sportscars with an automatic are chicks cars

A Porsche boxster with the tip trans is definitely a chicks car. Ya think the $450,000 Porsche GT comes with an auto ??



Oh, and about the comment above your avatar. The P71 Crown Vic.That's the Police interceptor package with the hi-po 4.6 V8 right ?? It's a poor man's Merc Maurader Looks good in black, tinted windows, lowered, etc

Reminds me of that line from the blues brothers movie "ELWOOD:" It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is it the new Blues Mobile or what?

My last car was a 94 Tbird w/ the 4.6, and my first few cars were Fords, so you can say I still have a little ford blue flowing in my viens

proaudio22

Hehe, read it once again "P71 CobraVic" It'll be what was once a Police Interceptor with one of these in it:

Marauders will be running scared. Def will be ALL black w/ black windows, and a nice set of wheels. "What do you mean only 245s will fit? These are 315s"

I have seen women driving 350Z and Mustang, pretty frequently. But I don't think I have ever seen women driving S2000, EVO and STI. There should be less women driving the manual-only vehicles I guess.

97-3-pt-OH-C-el

an 350z is a chicks car as opposed to a MUSTANG being a mans car?!?!? HAHAHAHHAHAHA

proaudio22

There should probably be less women driving, period.

Minch00

I think 2Fast 2 Furious did the S2000 a great injustice by making a girl drive a riced out HOT PINK one. That's probably where the impression "it's a girls car" came from. The same girl was also drawing up plans for a 350Z, and you know how many people with no car knowledge saw this movie.....



And don't knock the Base V6 Mustang, my first car was a 94 auto. I've moved on, but hell, back then I took what I could get. It also had dual flowmasters and clear corners

Good times, good times.....

:ghey:

Minch00

Fuck you man, it was a gift from my parents.

cusdaddy

What's wrong with that? At his age, I wouldn't mind a V6 Mustang as my first car. So what if he modded it?

I was driving a 1980's Oldsmobile as my first car. Does that make me gay too???

97-3-pt-OH-C-el

i was referring to the clear corners and flows. id drive a V6 stang if i didnt have a choice, but i sure wouldnt do anything to it.

just my opinion, you dont have to take it seriously

zamo

your friends are :ultraghey:

97-3-pt-OH-C-el

i had a 95 Accord EX Coupe. 2.2 liter, 145 hp, it wouldve kept up with a 94 V6 automatic mustang. i didnt mod it. i knew it wasnt anything special.

just a K&N for mileage
