Most of the initial money was from Grandparents +50K working. Everything after is all savings. She never came off as super chang though. She was always buying stuff for others. She never bought anything for herself though.. other than splurging for a civic. used.

Take a look at the 10 cars with the highest proportion of male buyers and you'll find that many have certain things in common. We're talking phallic, fast and pricey -- these are the models that fuel the fantasies of car-obsessed 14-year old boys, and ease the mid-life crises of affluent 50-year-old men.
Included in our list below are two Ferraris, a Porsche, and an Audi that all but stole the spotlight from Robert Downey, Jr. in that Iron Man movie from a few years back. Sports cars aren't the only vehicle category represented. You'll also find a couple of brawny trucks in the lineup -- because, you know, guys like trucks.
Our data is provided by Polk, a company that specializes in the research of all things automotive, and information reflects total purchases made in 2011.
1. Ferrari 458 Italia
Percentage of male buyers: 95.3
2. BMW 1 Series M Coupe

Funny... A girl at my work has a 135i, her plate moniker is RACEGRL
I guess she's in the 7.8%.. I'm guessing more like 1% with that tag. She didn't buy it because it was small and cute.

Surprised the 1M series coupe ranks so high.
Ttribe, isn't the 1M just a one-off parts-bin car with same engine as Z4?
I guess you'd have to be pretty masculine to rock a whip like my boys
Also surprised Cali ranks ahead of the Corvette. Doesn't matter, I'm not into cougars ha. I need a BRZ for the types of chicks I like ha.
Paris, Heidi Montag and Ashton. Ya, I think Ashton could drive a Kia and got more tail than I could ever dream of.

It's the same engine as the 135/335, tuned up some and the addition of some parts from the M3. According to most of the stuff I've read though, it's really a modern-day take on the E30 M3 - light, quick, and tossable. Supposed to be a lot of fun. Randy Pobst HATED it though in the MotorTrend Best Driver's Car Challenge.

Joe, on an unrelated note, my friend came by the crib to take me out for a drive before we went to Nu doing recon for our friend's bachelor party this Saturday. This is a beautiful balloon white exterior with menacing black rims but I seriously suffered whiplash when he was hauling my skinny ass around the Makapuu lookout and then going WOT on the straighaway by Sandy's. The pause with the single clutch tranny when upshifting causes a really violent reaction where you get thrown forward and back. I guess this is desirable in a sportscar but I prefer a more tolerable suspension and less violence as a daily driver
My pants got tight haha

Probably because of the smooth ride, low engine noise, and short wheelbase.

Wow man, very good stuff. Best of luck with her.
Are you in a private practice setting (if you don't mind me asking)?
Best of luck again. Nothing like topless, exhaust roaring fun. That is definitely on another level.

Ya we flipped a bitch before Nalos. Last time I drove through some kids were on their skateboards in the middle of the road haha. I was like "GTFO clowns!" Nah, they would prolly whistle and some huge moke would come out and give me knocks haha.
#154
I've seen the same in Kailua.. of course, I was pretty sure these skaters didn't know any big mokes.. in fact, I think they thought I was the big moke.
