The more fundamental, evolutionary psychology issue is that of financial and social status. Chicks are programmed to like dudes with nice cars.

But hey, you go save the planet :D

Another thought occurs - 'Hot date requiring lift home'.

You also can't drift a bike

But you can't pull wheelies in a (road legal, standard-spec) car. Not that you'd want to, mind.


Hmmn, what's more impressive. A guy on a pushbike pulling a wheelie for a few seconds or me pulling a 20 second drift whilst leaving a trail of rubber on the road?

Both seem equally pointless to me.

But you're not a chick who is subconsciously looking for signs of a man's virility and strength ;)

Oh, and the answer's drift :D

Wasn't it 'conclusively' proven on Top Gear that hand brake turns make girl's clothes fall off?

No they barely noticed them when with friends. Crashing into caravans helped but only for a moment. ;)

Just realised something today. There's a lady at the place I work who lives just near me who gets a lift everyday as she lost her license 6 months ago.

Obviously she gets it easy because she gets a lift but she said she found she very quickly got used to not having a car.

Ride-sharing opportunity?

Unfortunately she has to drop off her son at school every morning and so can't set off early enough to make it on time.

I do not have a car, and it is a pain sometimes but it is not essential.
