Definition of a "Chick Car"?

1.) Isn't that what someone with a: "Wankelitis addiction"...Cruises around in?

OR...

2.) One of the delightfully assorted "nuptial-gifts" that David Furnish-ed Elton:



:dunno:

Mitsubishi Eclipse. I know a bunch of girls that drove these cars.
 
I enjoyed cardaddys story man, nice to hear. So would an Infiniti fx35 be a chick car? Naaah i don't think so! Lol although i do see many women drive this car, i can say the same about men. not sure

Couldn't agree more Cardaddy. When my son is old enough to drive, he'll be driving a solid car with less than 200HP and a five-star crash rating. Not to mention a GPS locator and a speed recorder. :-)

My daughters will have the GPS locator implanted in their neck. I have 8 and 10 years to go before they can drive. My oldest just asked me if she can have my car (got it last week) when she's old enough.

No one mentioned a Mini Cooper yet. I have one, and I hear it's a "chick car" all the time. Doesn't bother me too much when I consider it get WAY better mileage than the F150 I traded for it and it handles 100 times better than my '03 Cobra.
 
Going on Cardaddy's story, I do think about those things often while I'm driving. =O It's also good that I didn't have this car while I was a teenager.

One thing I've learned to keep in mind is that I am not much better off than somebody in a smart car (Or similar mini-vehicle). Therefore, I drive far more carefully than I ever did in my old Wrangler. I just never thought of these things while I was sitting high above other vehicles... it just comes with the territory.

As much as I love this MX-5, when it has finally finished it's life in my garage I plan to buy a much safer vehicle.

Thanks for the detailed reply, as well as your insight into this topic.

Hmmm...Looks like this one ran into a truck loaded with Pepto-Bismol a broccoli! :eek:
 
I've had 3 Miatas, 2 turbo and 1 with a Jackson Racing supercharger... Oddly enough I've never had anyone ever say to my face "that's a girl car", but then living in the south it seems girls are drawn more to Jeeps and F-whatever pick-up trucks than sports cars.

Heck, in my area even a Corvette screams "cougar" more than a Miata says "girlie"...

Haters gonna hate, until they get behind the wheel and take one for a spin. They'll be checking out craigslist to pick one up cheap after that...

Send me a private and I'll point you toward a bunch of Miata specific forums. These cars have a global following that is second to no brand or mark.
 
a chick car is whatever car girls happen to want and drive at the time, so if you see mostly girls driving a particular car, it becomes a chick car, for example, a Scion Tc is a chick car to me because I rarely see a guy driving one, it seems to always be a girl. Another example is a VW Bug, that's definitely a chick car.
 
Here's a pic of my "chick car"....gets chicks all the time :D

My first vehicle at 13 was a '77 Ford Ranchero GT, thing was a tank! My second vehicle at 17 is my current F-150. Surprisingly my parents were more concerned with me driving the F-150.:laughing:

When I was in high school, the convertible VW rabbit was the ultimate chick car, especially in white. I think I read in one of the car mags that vw will be building a cabrio golf again. I may be wrong. But if not, fathers of high school and college girls, get ready to head to the VW group dealers.

Psynx "two guys in a miata" line? Classic.

Yup, the guys drove Jetta's and Scirocco's (those were cool btw) and the girls drove Rabbit's. (Except I was in my late 20's at the time.) :)

Funny enough, Elton has a penthouse here in Atlanta. I used to do the MB towing for the southside dealership when he bought a new 500SEL that had to be delivered to his garage, in no less than DEEP METALLIC ARMY GREEN! Yuuccccckkkkk!!!!! Looked like a green slimed tur#. Ooops that hits close. :laughing:

That my brother was EXACTLY what I was thinking at the time. ;) I mean this guys kid was 'stunning' to say the least. Long and tan, long blonde, with a big wide white smile. Talk about every Daddy's nightmare! I was just thinking how terrible it'd turn out with her in THAT car. :dunno:

Mine did get our old Accord for a couple of years then ended up as a junior in HS (2005) with a new 2006 Pontaic G6 GTP. (She drove it to college till 2010 and still drives it today.) FIWW the GTP isn't a 'chick' car. :laughing:

Problem solved. It is well known that there are many V8 conversions for Miata's. Drop an LS1 or 5.0 in your Miata and blow your friends doors off. Then see if they still cal it a "chick car".

One of my first customers when I started my towing business was the buyer for Mazmart. Jim Downing (the owner) is an IMSA legend and 5 time Champion. His pioneering work with Mazda Racing is nothing short of miraculous. He has 'in house' dyno's and I was there when he built his first 4-rotor motor that developed 700HP at the crank. Not bad for what was basically two 1300cc engines bolted together (2.6 liters). When he wound that sumbich' up you could hear it a mile away! In fact IMSA required a muffler that went the entire length of the wheelbase from the back all the way to exit behind the front wheel, and it STILL spit fire!

He is also the inventor of today's HANS device, arguably the best idea in racing safety for the driver in the last 20 years. (with perhaps the exception of 'soft walls' at super speedways)

I also had a RX-4 Coupe (two actually as one was a donor car) that started with a ported 12A then went to a modified 13B-Turbo putting out 250hp at the wheels. While nothing on earth is as loud as Jim's racing engines, that darned thing was LOUD!

So, no..... not a hater by any means. ;)

Cardaddy
 
To say what is and isn't a chick car is hard to judge. We need a set of points or constants that classify a car as eeither a chicks car, or a mans car.
My general rule is goes on how the car is described by a girl. To the average girl:

Silver Honda Accord and a Silver C63 are both considered - "silver car"

Hummer H2 - Ugly D-Bag mobile

72 Chevelle 454 - Old Car/Classic Car

Honda Odessey - That mom has a cute baby - I dont want a baby, oh hey you know who....

VW Beetle in Orange - Cute Car

All you guys on here though, you are totally worrying too much about this. Take a look at this list!

Gay Cars - Top Cars for Gay Men 2010

So if your cars on there and you feel bad, heres a picture of Rashida Jones to help you feel better!
