My friend bought a newer Stingray Corvette thinking he would get girls, but all that car attracted was old men who would come up and kick his tires, complimenting the car 😂
That is a #1 truth! Bought myself a Pontiac Trans Am Convertible in the early 2000's. Didn't buy it for the girls...but truth is that all the guys love the look of that car. All the guys want to kick the tires and talk specs...the old guys want to tell me about their 1960s model. Women? Meh....love that it's a convertible, but that's about it. But, as Dave said....I bought the car for me...not to impress anyone else! I liked the car...I liked the look of it, the sound of it and the feel of it...didn't care if anyone else did or not. Still own that car today (20 years)....and it's still a great car - I still love it!....and I still don't care if anyone else does or not.
Cars are boy toys. The only thing women get out of the car, is whether the guy has money or not. I always wondered why men never get that. I've seen some guys trying to look impressive with their cars. I don't know what they expected from me, because I'm car illiterate.
As a millenial woman, I’ve never cared about a car. And never understood what the big deal and status idea was about 🤷🏻♀️ I’m married now and I tell my husband as long as it safely takes us from point A to point B I’m happy
I bet you wanted him to buy you an expensive ring and a home. That is provided you are above 7/10. If you are an average fat obese American woman then you settle for whatever. My cousin only goes for vacations that cost over $20Κ as an example. But she’s a beautiful 8/10 millennial that comes from a wealthy family. Their marriage was an amazing event in Greece that cost the families a ton of money plus honeymoon in Santorini, Mykonos etc. oh yeah she also doesn’t care about a car because they live in an ultra expensivr high rise in Brooklyn with pools and everything 😂
Hey millenial 🙂 Clean 🙂 you want Clean 🙂 If he can't keep his car clean, can't put his clothes in a wash bin, can't do his dishes, can't clean a mess he made, and sits there expecting you to notice and do it cus You don't like how it looks, Run!

Dave is spot on, wait til you got a quality lady before buying anything nice if that's the goal. Plus saving for the house is financially the better option
It’s not easy finding a quality lady, but when you do, you keep her. I met my wife when I was driving a 94 Honda Civic EX coupe back in 2019. We just got married last year and now I’m driving a 2002 Lexus IS300, one of my childhood dream cars.
"If a woman is gonna come to you because of the car you drive, you're not getting much of a woman." -🤣 One of the best lines I've ever heard on TH-cam!!!!
Very true. I’m surprised guys still think this way because it’s that frame of mind and type of woman they attract can lead the way to being used,a lot of debt, and possibly ending up with unwanted kids,divorce,weaponized child support,court fees,domestic violence,permanent alimony,paternity fraud,etc…
Normally the joy over a car fades. I know 2 men who had sports cars (they were not rich, nor did they go into major debt). After driving it for 12 - 18 months they were over it. Not practical, and then there is winter with salt on the streets ... The costs, the monthly payments will last much longer than the joy. Now the same could be said about the house - but a home usually appreciates (or at least does not decrease in value).
I got my joy from renting. I lived in Hawaii for almost two years when I was broke. Flew there a lot on Space A and when I started working at American Airlines. Rented a Lamborghini and red “Magnum PI” Ferrari once in Honolulu years ago for about 4-5 hours from exotic car rental company between airport and Waikiki. Paid full insurance. Cruised the island coast from Waikiki to North Shore and back to Honolulu on H2. Topped off tank and gave it back. I think I paid about $400 total. Got it out of my system. I did rent a corvette two or three times at Budget but it was much cheaper with my 50% airline discount ($40 a day) and like a regular rental.
If you daily drive your fun car, it will be normalized and no longer bring joy. If your fun car is only for one day a week, it will be exciting much longer than the payments. That's my experience anyways.
Is that why, when I go to the dealerships to look at car prices just for fun. (It's a Sunday tradition because the dealerships in our state are closed that day and we aren't hassled). I recently saw a 2024 on the used lot with only 600 miles on it. I'm sure whoever bought that new car was over it quick, I think it was a Grand Cherokee.
We decided to be a one car family so we could buy our house. We needed both, couldn’t do both. So we went for the house. We had one car for two years and it was hard. On days I needed the car I would drive my husband in to work 30-45 minutes each way with 3 young kids. And we would pick him up. I felt poor. Our neighbors rented the house two doors down and they had a car and a great truck. 5 years later our home has nearly doubled in value. We now have two cars. Our neighbors got kicked out of their rental when the owner moved in. They are living with the in-laws. Trying to buy a house now that the market has doubled. I’m sad for them. I’m glad we made the decision to get a house when we did. They appreciated like crazy.
Married for 36 years now, not once did I date a guy because of his car or did I marry my husband because of what he drove. I married my husband because he prayed with me while we were dating, he treated me like an equal and saw in me what I didn't/couldn't. Our current cars are both older than 10 years, working well but nothing fancy. I suppose it helps that my husband is what you would consider a nerd, he works on computers and is happy to pay others to fix what is broken in our cars.
I’ve a 2014 Camaro (in the UK 🇬🇧) and it used to own me- it’s paid off and I have my Camaro and my income ensures it’s Dave guideline friendly… I love it! It’s a boss car
If a girl won't date you when you have nothing while you are building yourself up.... she will less likely be there for you in the future when you go through low point in your life.
Yeah I learned that pretty quick when I had to live in my van to save money while going to school years ago. You learn who your true friends are as well.
When we were debating our first investment and the risk, my wife said "We had nothing when we got married, so if we lose it all now we aren't any worse off than when we started."
If I were in this guy's shoes, I'd keep the Honda and wait a year or so for the interest rates to go down and invest in a house instead. He has the rest of his life to get an expensive toy.
It has more to do with his financial position. It is stupid to wait for interests to go down and expecting your monthly payment to go down too. As soon as the interests go lower, there will be a flood of new buyers that drive the home prices up.
I met and started dating my wife in 2014, when I was driving a (paid for) 2004 Chevy Colorado. It was in good mechanical condition and reasonably clean. She was more impressed by the fact that I was able to pay cash for dinner when we went out for (moderately priced) meals and didn't try to hit her up for loans to tide me over until payday. Just one man's experience.
My amazing husband of 7 years was driving a real clunker of a car when we met and was wearing very worn out sneakers lol I thought he had a very low income and that he couldn't afford new shoes even, but I could see how hard of a worker he was and he impressed me with his love for life and his tenderness and care for me. I just loved being with him and realized I wanted to marry him after only a couple of months of dating. I only found out his really good income amount after about 6 months and realized he was just not a spender 😂 He could have been driving a sports car if he wanted to. I feel that our love is far deeper since we fell in love for the right reasons without any superficial influence from flashy toys. We still don't have a sports car lol But we have 5 kids (3 of them from my previous marriage) 2 reliable reasonable vehicles (one of them paid off completely), our own home, and a life filled with love and unity of purpose. I am so thankful that I didn't take his worn out car and shoes as a indicator of his worth ❤
To be honest it really just depends what women your looking for? a trophy wife? yeah you need a nice car and a nice house and a big bag...In reality many women will judge you by the car you drive and it CAN effect that initial chance to get to know you, BUT a good women wont care too much...married women will say it wont matter lol but married women arent on the menu, ask yoing pretty single women if they care...
Marriage like everything else takes patience and hard work. Two things that have gone out the window. People rush in and then bail when it doesn't match their expectations. Coming from a Gen X'er by the way.@@wewhoareabouttodiesaluteyo9303
This definitely is true for teenagers at 16-20 year olds. Once in the mid and upper 20s, not so big of a deal with attracting a woman. May still get some the younger girls that will try to use it as a status symbol to her friends
27 years ago, my now husband drove a 80' mission brown toyota corolla. It only started half the time, had a cracked head gasket, hole in the muffler and rust. Married 18 years this year.
Dear Kevin, a car would have never impressed me enough to date someone with the intent to marry them. It was all about character. My husband drove an older model truck. Nothing fancy. Dave is right! YOU WILL GET THE WRONG GIRL!!! Jade is wrong
Or maybe it's just fun to own and a convenient way to start a conversation with other people, women or not. And believe it or not a lot of women are into cars and if you find one of those because you have cool cars, that's a dream come true.
I still drive my 1998 Toyota Camry 4 banger with 223k an hour to work and hour back home daily. It has heat / ac and power everything. I just don’t look like a baller, oh well. But as you can see in my profile picture. Even driving a PoS I found myself the right girl.
I met my wife when I drove a 1987 Saab. The front driver’s side axel literally snapped right after our first date, as I was pulling out of the parking lot. I will never forget the sound. I had NO car for the next couple of months. We’re going on 13 years married.
@@Johnny5477 I thought that was a pretty common thing people knew lol. Because Saabs are known to be very unreliable so anytime someone tells a Saab story, well, it's a Saab story lol.
In my area (New Zealand) I've noticed people with fancy European or American cars tend to live in rundown lower cost homes. People with the nicer homes tend to have Hondas or Toyotas in their driveways.
I wouldn’t want a modern Chev at all - especially a Camaro. Rather stick with the Toyota or VW, parts are often interchangeable and there are generic parts available at every auto spares place. Every mechanic (and backyard independent mech) knows the engines and most jobs are a few hours - hell, you could do most work on ur urself.
I dated a guy who had an old beat up station wagon only to find lout later he had a big warehouse with Ferrari's and Maserati's. I dated 2 guys that drove Corvettes. Two different experiences, but it taught me that what I wanted from a relationship was not a sports car. I wanted a multi-dimensional man, not a boy with toys.
I dated a guy who had lots of toys. Nice cars, couple boats. Cash poor, but had lots of impressive stuff. The guy I married was a guy who drove a death trap gremlin you had to say 5 hail marys to get it to go over 50MPH. Lived in a very modest apartment. Wore clothes from Target. Bought suits on clearance. Far from a cheapskate, and by no means a penny pincher. He was just careful with money- he showed "off" his wealth by paying his employees very well, sponsoring little league teams, boy/girl scout troops, being an umpire for youth sports teams and stuff.
I landed my wife with a 2000 Sienna. Had to put myself at a disadvantage to make it a little more fair for the other guys to have a chance, but they still lost.
The car doesn’t make the man but it can peak some interest. 😂 My husband and I both loved our toy cars before we met and yes we both got them affordably and it definitely helped us start a conversation because of our mutual love of cars. It won’t hurt ya as long as your smart about it. Maybe you’ll find a girl who likes cars as much as you do ❤
I rejected a guy who drove a Honda Accord that was so old the vinyl upholstery stank like cat urine. He was camping out in a house he’d bought to flip in a very expensive area (Fairfax district of Los Angeles). This was in the early 1990s. He also had issues with overeating, but I already didn’t like things described. I was dumb.
I knew a guy who went out on a date with a woman and he said that she asked him what kind of car he drove. He drove a Honda Accord at the time. Then she point blank asked him how much money he made. At the time I was appalled that anyone would be so brazen, but the older I get, I realize that there a lot of people who are more shallow than a parking lot puddle.
I feel like a sports car might be a red flag. It means potential debt and he's bad with money. Depending on what he does. Especially if he makes over 100k. Also I don't know if I'd want him getting attention from the wrong people with the car.
I know dudes who work at Walmart that drive a brand new mustang or charger. I know dudes who have their own businesses and I work with in terms of that, who drive beat up Hondas and Toyotas.
I had my dad help me look at cars cuz I feared being scammed. But then he gives me extra help saying this won't impress a girl. I wish I had a dollar for every time I had to say I didn't care.
I was way more impressed that my now husband had $$ for his house purchase when we were dating. Then I made him clear his debt😅.... In NYC, most men with nice cars still lived with mom over age 25. A car never signaled wealth or adulting.
The single guys in the Mennonite NEVER go into a marriage without buying a house first.And since they don't go through college, I knew of 16 yr olds who were making LOTS of money growing produce for their fathers / uncles grocery stores..And I heard he had his house by about 18.
@kurtrussell5228 Maybe I shouldn't say made, but I suggested it, and he did it. He would say (actually last night) he wouldn't have cleared it if didn't come into his life, so yea.
Had several cooler vehicles when I was High school and college age honestly didn’t help much with a getting a long term date. But when I was honestly finishing my debt snow ball I was driving a $1200 Honda Accord that we called Lafonda that was so ugly and dented up. But met my wife driving that car and she married me driving that car ahha
The right gall will notice that a man unapologetically dismisses cultural expectations and dares to drive a modest or old car. And if she dates a man for longer she will notice that he has his shit together, that he is intentional about his finances. Which is reassuring if she considers a serious relationship. And even if not: more money to spoil her ;) Unless she wants the status boost: that her besties see her dating a dude with a hot car. Well even for a fling a man can do better. She should find him hot, not the car.
I had a sporty little 2 seater, was my daily driver all through college and years afterwards. Was fine to get around, for a loner, but had barely any utility may as well have been a motorcycle. I also couldn't go pick up a bunch of friends and go camping with it, but I could meet up if it was just me and a backpack. It didn't help me get chicks, but the few I did date thought it was kind of fun (though impossible to get out of if they were wearing heals or a dress).
Women who will keep you broke and miserable are impressed by sports cars, women that will make you blessed will be impressed that you are responsible with money
They both right. 🙏🏾 fun video thanks guys 😅 Be who you really are meant to be. Follow God. Be patient. You will be blessed. You’ll get the vehicle you want/need. It’ll be a cool ride. She should love you for who you are. If she does, she will love the ride just the same. Even if it was a piece of garbage. 😂 cause it’s a part of you That’s the beauty of love ❤️
Dave is 100% right. I don't care if a man has a fancy car -- I look for his character. In fact, a fancy car is a red flag to me because it indicates that he may be irresponsible with money or too concerned about status. I would pick the man in the honda. I am a frugal person who likes to save for the future and I want a partner with the same values.
Why judge? May be a guy simply has a car bec he likes cars and don't give a shit to anyone. How is that a red flag? Just because you judged doesn't mean all guys who have nice cars are douches or irresponsible. You must look at both sides of the coin. But I do agree men buying cars for women or to get attention aren't real men to begin with.
Having something parked and unused more than 20 hours a day is a toy if it paid for in cash,have zero debt,home paid off,positive net worth,savings,investments,able to retire early anytime,etc… If not………
My 74 Month Plymouth Fury 2-door had a rust hole in the drivers door big enough for my head to go through .. we’ve been together 44 years this June .. u wanna buy a Camaro do it bcz u like Camaro’s .. u wanna keep the money for the house, do it bcz u will have it paid off sooner and be glad of it when ur older .. since ur renting anyways, 30G left in the S&P @9.5% for 40 years will give u one million to retire on by doing nothing else other than letting it sit there, and u will have 130G (yup a hundred thirty) extra to buy the car
I would have to think twice before I dated a man with a Camaro, although paid off would probably be ok. My boyfriend drove a paid off 2008 Subaru when we met, and it was a plus in my book. We had matching blue 2008 cars. (Although he now admits he wasn’t sure of me because I was driving my back up car 1986 Volvo when we met 😂)
Believe me, When I was in my 20's and had an 86 Trans Am. There are many Gold Diggers out there and they heard my father had his own business doing Taxes for a living. I was always leaving screachin out from their apartments. Apartments funny.
@@JustinCase780 I had a new LT1 for 4 months once. Nearly every day I drove it someone tried to get me to race. I have had my Impala for over 4 years now, not one race request : )
@@coniccinoc Oh damn that is hysterical...reminds me of high school. No wonder some Highway Patrol cops in some states use impounded Camaros as chase cars.
Too funny, I had a light green 74 Monte Carlo, what a tank. I got rear ended by a 81 Catalina and it destroyed the Catalina and only a piece of plastic broke out of the Monte Carlo.
Told my wife I was planning to buy her a Ferrari 400i. She said, “no”. “Say the word and I’ll buy you this ‘65 Mustang you always wanted”. She said, “after the cancer it doesn’t mean any thing to me.” Bought her a top-of -the-line Mercedes. She wrecked it. She now drives an ultra-compact Scion. I should have first started with the Scion.
Especially being a 14, it’s still pretty new. I thought when he said “Honda accord” he was talking about a 1990 something. Chevy isn’t a bad vehicle, but there’s a reason people of all backgrounds and incomes drive a Honda - inexpensive, low but easy maintenance, ridiculously good gas mileage, you won’t have to change much more than an alternator, battery and fluids. I still keep my Toyota Celica around
I wish we knew retirement savings. If 50k is his net worth, I can’t imagine spending that much for a car. But if he has another 100k in retirement go for it.
Im 20 years old, third year mechanical engineer, saved about 46k already. Still live with my parents, yet I contribute $1,000 a month towards bills. I bought a 2015 Rav4 in august and completely paid it off 18k. It is tuff, barely resting, either I am working or studying. Plus I have been getting scholarships so I dont have to pay for my education. Seriously thinking about getting s house, I have a 752 credit score, or investing the money I have after I graduate.
Buy a house when you decide to get married and have a child, until then, get an apartment or studio unit. Everyone has to pay for a place to stay, it's not throwing money away. Focus on finishing school, keeping your vehicle in great shape, getting 8 hours of sleep and being a licensed leader in your career. The money will come, the house will come. You're doing great, don't rush it.
I would stay in your parents home as long as they let you. Keep saving and investing money. I've been there. A home is a big responsibility and you're always fixing something at times, unless you buy new construction and have less headaches.
@@arfriedman4577 It is me, my older brother and my parents living in the house. They want him to get married, I talked to my parents about it yesterday, they are planning on giving my older brother the house since he paid the most on it. So eventually I would say that in 2026 I would have to move out, or even a little before that. I graduate in Dec 2025, my parents plan is to leave the U.S and go back home and leave both of us here, seems like they want me ro finish school, get my brother married and they will immediately leave, my mom don’t work and my dad is 60 years old, he works but always tired.
Lol. I agree the car doesn't make the man. I got with my husband when he would ride his bicycle to my house. Now he is driving a Cummins. Good to stick it out.
An important piece of the equation was missing: if he buys the car to get the chick, then she will lay claim to half the house. I’d say buy the house first.
He's going to attract the wrong girl for sure. He needs to look poor, even then if a shallow gold digger has any idea how much you make while looking poor she'll still be digging for info what you do with your money and will assume you're loaded
The car doesn’t help but definitely doesn’t hurt. If she likes you , she will complement your car to create conversations. If she didn’t like you and isn’t a car enthusiast she probably ignored you lol
You know how many shitty guys I know who drive brand new Chargers, Mustangs, etc. The woman is every bit as garbage as they are; rotten on the inside. You know how many guys I work with who drive beater cars? They employ those kinds of people 😂😂😂
i’m only 19 but my girlfriend and i have been together since 17. i picked her up during winter time in a 2000 honda oddessey that the defroster was broken in. we had to pull over because us breathing in the car was fogging up the windows. that’s how ik she’s the one

I dated a guy in college that drove a Shelby Mustang, and he turned out to be an absolute rude jerk. Anybody who drives a nice car but is demeaning to people that serve your food, are not worth their salt.
I met my hubby and he was driving a '92 Saturn. And in the last 10 years and the 4 cars he has had in that time, was 100% the coolest car he has ever had. Now when he was driving my car that's different 😂 but I miss that cute little car.

Got it out of my system.

When we were debating our first investment and the risk, my wife said "We had nothing when we got married, so if we lose it all now we aren't any worse off than when we started."
@Fred2-123 you have a keeper. Hard to find a great woman these days. I invest too to fund retirement one day. What did you invest in?
It's always a Roy 😂
It’s always the guy who hasn’t dated anyone in 8 years
If I were in this guy's shoes, I'd keep the Honda and wait a year or so for the interest rates to go down and invest in a house instead. He has the rest of his life to get an expensive toy.
That's assuming interest rates will ever go down when they're at historical averages.
It has more to do with his financial position. It is stupid to wait for interests to go down and expecting your monthly payment to go down too. As soon as the interests go lower, there will be a flood of new buyers that drive the home prices up.
Yeah exactly. His car is fine. I don't see a real reason to trade it.
Let the man enjoy life, some people like cars, some like expensive houses.@@kasrakh86
30 grand for a nearly ten year old Cheverolet is mind blowing
He wants to buy a car, just wants to find a reason to justify it in his head
I met and started dating my wife in 2014, when I was driving a (paid for) 2004 Chevy Colorado. It was in good mechanical condition and reasonably clean. She was more impressed by the fact that I was able to pay cash for dinner when we went out for (moderately priced) meals and didn't try to hit her up for loans to tide me over until payday.
Just one man's experience.
My amazing husband of 7 years was driving a real clunker of a car when we met and was wearing very worn out sneakers lol I thought he had a very low income and that he couldn't afford new shoes even, but I could see how hard of a worker he was and he impressed me with his love for life and his tenderness and care for me. I just loved being with him and realized I wanted to marry him after only a couple of months of dating. I only found out his really good income amount after about 6 months and realized he was just not a spender 😂 He could have been driving a sports car if he wanted to. I feel that our love is far deeper since we fell in love for the right reasons without any superficial influence from flashy toys.
We still don't have a sports car lol But we have 5 kids (3 of them from my previous marriage) 2 reliable reasonable vehicles (one of them paid off completely), our own home, and a life filled with love and unity of purpose.
I am so thankful that I didn't take his worn out car and shoes as a indicator of his worth ❤
Jade -- Your color-coordinated earrings are the stars of the show.
To be honest it really just depends what women your looking for? a trophy wife? yeah you need a nice car and a nice house and a big bag...In reality many women will judge you by the car you drive and it CAN effect that initial chance to get to know you, BUT a good women wont care too much...married women will say it wont matter lol but married women arent on the menu, ask yoing pretty single women if they care...
💯👏
I remember laughing on the Live Stream of this call😅😅 Especially when he called Roy an Idiot😅😅
My husband had a 1956 210 in primer when I met him. We've been married 31 years & official debt free millionaires.
It could be because you are a boomer. Marriage went downhill in the 70s.
Marriage like everything else takes patience and hard work. Two things that have gone out the window. People rush in and then bail when it doesn't match their expectations. Coming from a Gen X'er by the way.@@wewhoareabouttodiesaluteyo9303
This definitely is true for teenagers at 16-20 year olds. Once in the mid and upper 20s, not so big of a deal with attracting a woman. May still get some the younger girls that will try to use it as a status symbol to her friends
27 years ago, my now husband drove a 80' mission brown toyota corolla. It only started half the time, had a cracked head gasket, hole in the muffler and rust. Married 18 years this year.
Good morning uncle Dave
Funny anecdote. Thanks for keeping it honest, Dave!
A 1974 Monte Carlo was a darn sweet ride in those days and is a legend today!
Dear Kevin, a car would have never impressed me enough to date someone with the intent to marry them. It was all about character. My husband drove an older model truck. Nothing fancy.
Dave is right! YOU WILL GET THE WRONG GIRL!!!
Jade is wrong
I read the title and literally thought it was going to be about buying baby chickens
If you need a car to get a date, you must not be much of a catch. OR, if you trying to get girls with a car, you don’t want date those kinds of girls.
Those girls are both figuratively and legitimately, for the streets. 😂
Or they are simps.
My brother picked up chicks with an old station wagon. You either got swag or you don't
Or maybe it's just fun to own and a convenient way to start a conversation with other people, women or not. And believe it or not a lot of women are into cars and if you find one of those because you have cool cars, that's a dream come true.
I love Jade's laugh. I would rather have a guy driving a Honda Accord with a pocket full of money and a nice house. Then he can buy ME the camaro. lol
Or you take the Camaro and run
Anyone who can make you laugh is a good person. Love you both 🤣
Wow. Ramsay approved a camaro purchase! Never thought id see the day
I still drive my 1998 Toyota Camry 4 banger with 223k an hour to work and hour back home daily. It has heat / ac and power everything. I just don’t look like a baller, oh well. But as you can see in my profile picture. Even driving a PoS I found myself the right girl.
Love it!
I also drive an hour there and back and I bought a new car and I’m killing the miles on a new car
Rare Dave W when it comes to these kind of topics
Lmao Jade bringing the facts at 4:33
What Jade was trying to say- "The car doesn't make the man, 'but it gives us a starting point'"...lol
I met my wife when I drove a 1987 Saab. The front driver’s side axel literally snapped right after our first date, as I was pulling out of the parking lot. I will never forget the sound. I had NO car for the next couple of months.
We’re going on 13 years married.
I never own a Saab, but had many friends with them... Thumbs up for owning awesome car!
Nice Saab story.
@@dedalliance1 I’m really mad at you for coming up with that because I’ve been living with this for over a decade and never thought of that.
@@Johnny5477 I thought that was a pretty common thing people knew lol. Because Saabs are known to be very unreliable so anytime someone tells a Saab story, well, it's a Saab story lol.
In my area (New Zealand) I've noticed people with fancy European or American cars tend to live in rundown lower cost homes. People with the nicer homes tend to have Hondas or Toyotas in their driveways.
in the us too.
I wouldn’t want a modern Chev at all - especially a Camaro.
Rather stick with the Toyota or VW, parts are often interchangeable and there are generic parts available at every auto spares place.
Every mechanic (and backyard independent mech) knows the engines and most jobs are a few hours - hell, you could do most work on ur urself.
I dated a guy who had an old beat up station wagon only to find lout later he had a big warehouse with Ferrari's and Maserati's. I dated 2 guys that drove Corvettes. Two different experiences, but it taught me that what I wanted from a relationship was not a sports car. I wanted a multi-dimensional man, not a boy with toys.
“I wanted a man with PLENTY of money” is what I think you mean to say 😂
@@HOLDXSTEEL Respectfully, you don't know what you are talking about. I actually married a guy without a lot of money.
I dated a guy who had lots of toys. Nice cars, couple boats. Cash poor, but had lots of impressive stuff. The guy I married was a guy who drove a death trap gremlin you had to say 5 hail marys to get it to go over 50MPH. Lived in a very modest apartment. Wore clothes from Target. Bought suits on clearance. Far from a cheapskate, and by no means a penny pincher. He was just careful with money- he showed "off" his wealth by paying his employees very well, sponsoring little league teams, boy/girl scout troops, being an umpire for youth sports teams and stuff.
@9liveslisa your problem!
@@HOLDXSTEELnah, it means avoid the guys with big trucks because they're probably bad with money, and they're probably Trump supporters
2014 accord owner here I’d keep the Honda just hit 285k on the dash today still the original motor and transmission
I landed my wife with a 2000 Sienna. Had to put myself at a disadvantage to make it a little more fair for the other guys to have a chance, but they still lost.
Amen.
The car doesn’t make the man but it can peak some interest. 😂 My husband and I both loved our toy cars before we met and yes we both got them affordably and it definitely helped us start a conversation because of our mutual love of cars. It won’t hurt ya as long as your smart about it. Maybe you’ll find a girl who likes cars as much as you do ❤
Nope. I’m wealthy and I avoid car girls. Materialistic diggers
@@Midwest10not always. Plenty of car girls with their own money
I rejected a guy who drove a Honda Accord that was so old the vinyl upholstery stank like cat urine. He was camping out in a house he’d bought to flip in a very expensive area (Fairfax district of Los Angeles). This was in the early 1990s. He also had issues with overeating, but I already didn’t like things described. I was dumb.
Now he a millionaire
I knew a guy who went out on a date with a woman and he said that she asked him what kind of car he drove. He drove a Honda Accord at the time. Then she point blank asked him how much money he made. At the time I was appalled that anyone would be so brazen, but the older I get, I realize that there a lot of people who are more shallow than a parking lot puddle.
As an owner of a Paid off 2015 Camaro. I approved this message 😂😂😂

“The home prices out here in Austin are astronomical”
LAUGHS IN NEW YORK ACENT.
I feel like a sports car might be a red flag. It means potential debt and he's bad with money. Depending on what he does. Especially if he makes over 100k. Also I don't know if I'd want him getting attention from the wrong people with the car.
I know dudes who work at Walmart that drive a brand new mustang or charger.
I know dudes who have their own businesses and I work with in terms of that, who drive beat up Hondas and Toyotas.
Doesn’t matter. As soon as he gets the girl, he’ll be trading in the car for a minivan.
Or a divorce fleece,weaponized kids against them,kids that may not even be his,etc…
Because if you lead with your wallet, you’re gonna attract predators.
You gotta vet her before you select her.
Dave 🔥 with the dad jokes here between Jesus car all in Accord and Depends as sponsor.
The only people looking at a guy with a corvette is the police
Dave hasn't studied hoeflation
You hurt my stomach 🤦🏾♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I had my dad help me look at cars cuz I feared being scammed. But then he gives me extra help saying this won't impress a girl. I wish I had a dollar for every time I had to say I didn't care.
Great combo these two ❤
I was way more impressed that my now husband had $$ for his house purchase when we were dating. Then I made him clear his debt😅.... In NYC, most men with nice cars still lived with mom over age 25. A car never signaled wealth or adulting.
The single guys in the Mennonite NEVER go into a marriage without buying a house first.And since they don't go through college, I knew of 16 yr olds who were making LOTS of money growing produce for their fathers / uncles grocery stores..And I heard he had his house by about 18.
"Made him"......
@@kurtrussell5228 She talks as if he paid his debt for him 😂
@handleyobusiness Once he did and we were married, my family blessed us. So, in the end, I did, and he got it back plus more. Choose wisely.
@kurtrussell5228 Maybe I shouldn't say made, but I suggested it, and he did it. He would say (actually last night) he wouldn't have cleared it if didn't come into his life, so yea.
LOVE the Monte Carlo story, Dave. Roy, not so much. Jade, the Camaro will NOT hurt him.
Had several cooler vehicles when I was High school and college age honestly didn’t help much with a getting a long term date. But when I was honestly finishing my debt snow ball I was driving a $1200 Honda Accord that we called Lafonda that was so ugly and dented up. But met my wife driving that car and she married me driving that car ahha
The right gall will notice that a man unapologetically dismisses cultural expectations and dares to drive a modest or old car. And if she dates a man for longer she will notice that he has his shit together, that he is intentional about his finances. Which is reassuring if she considers a serious relationship. And even if not: more money to spoil her ;)
Unless she wants the status boost: that her besties see her dating a dude with a hot car.
Well even for a fling a man can do better. She should find him hot, not the car.
I agree with Dave!
I had a sporty little 2 seater, was my daily driver all through college and years afterwards. Was fine to get around, for a loner, but had barely any utility may as well have been a motorcycle. I also couldn't go pick up a bunch of friends and go camping with it, but I could meet up if it was just me and a backpack. It didn't help me get chicks, but the few I did date thought it was kind of fun (though impossible to get out of if they were wearing heals or a dress).
Women who will keep you broke and miserable are impressed by sports cars, women that will make you blessed will be impressed that you are responsible with money
women are never satisfied
Very true!
They both right. 🙏🏾 fun video thanks guys 😅
Be who you really are meant to be. Follow God. Be patient.
You will be blessed. You’ll get the vehicle you want/need. It’ll be a cool ride. She should love you for who you are. If she does, she will love the ride just the same. Even if it was a piece of garbage. 😂 cause it’s a part of you
That’s the beauty of love ❤️
A new camero is a thief’s dream.
Dave is 100% right. I don't care if a man has a fancy car -- I look for his character. In fact, a fancy car is a red flag to me because it indicates that he may be irresponsible with money or too concerned about status. I would pick the man in the honda. I am a frugal person who likes to save for the future and I want a partner with the same values.
Few women like you anymore! 😢
Chad always wins
Why judge? May be a guy simply has a car bec he likes cars and don't give a shit to anyone. How is that a red flag? Just because you judged doesn't mean all guys who have nice cars are douches or irresponsible. You must look at both sides of the coin. But I do agree men buying cars for women or to get attention aren't real men to begin with.
I'm a woman in a similar situation, however a few yrs older, more saved, etc.
I just bought my "toy" Corvette and loving it!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I say Go for it!
Having something parked and unused more than 20 hours a day is a toy if it paid for in cash,have zero debt,home paid off,positive net worth,savings,investments,able to retire early anytime,etc…
If not………
Enjoy it!!
My 74 Month Plymouth Fury 2-door had a rust hole in the drivers door big enough for my head to go through .. we’ve been together 44 years this June .. u wanna buy a Camaro do it bcz u like Camaro’s .. u wanna keep the money for the house, do it bcz u will have it paid off sooner and be glad of it when ur older .. since ur renting anyways, 30G left in the S&P @9.5% for 40 years will give u one million to retire on by doing nothing else other than letting it sit there, and u will have 130G (yup a hundred thirty) extra to buy the car
Priceless advise
I would have to think twice before I dated a man with a Camaro, although paid off would probably be ok. My boyfriend drove a paid off 2008 Subaru when we met, and it was a plus in my book. We had matching blue 2008 cars. (Although he now admits he wasn’t sure of me because I was driving my back up car 1986 Volvo when we met 😂)
Believe me, When I was in my 20's and had an 86 Trans Am. There are many Gold Diggers out there and they heard my father had his own business doing Taxes for a living. I was always leaving screachin out from their apartments. Apartments funny.
Jade is just being Honest ❤❤❤ 😂😂😂
Camaro’s also get you noticed by the police and people who want to race.
Funny because a lot of cops own Camaros.
@@JustinCase780 I had a new LT1 for 4 months once. Nearly every day I drove it someone tried to get me to race. I have had my Impala for over 4 years now, not one race request : )
@@coniccinoc Oh damn that is hysterical...reminds me of high school. No wonder some Highway Patrol cops in some states use impounded Camaros as chase cars.
Too funny, I had a light green 74 Monte Carlo, what a tank. I got rear ended by a 81 Catalina and it destroyed the Catalina and only a piece of plastic broke out of the Monte Carlo.
Told my wife I was planning to buy her a Ferrari 400i.
She said, “no”.
“Say the word and I’ll buy you this ‘65 Mustang you always wanted”. She said, “after the cancer it doesn’t mean any thing to me.”
Bought her a top-of -the-line Mercedes. She wrecked it. She now drives an ultra-compact Scion. I should have first started with the Scion.
I have a 12 year old civic and never had a problem getting ladies. Owning what you got is more attractive to women.
Trading a Honda in for a Chevy is a horrible financial decision
Especially being a 14, it’s still pretty new. I thought when he said “Honda accord” he was talking about a 1990 something.
Chevy isn’t a bad vehicle, but there’s a reason people of all backgrounds and incomes drive a Honda - inexpensive, low but easy maintenance, ridiculously good gas mileage, you won’t have to change much more than an alternator, battery and fluids.
I still keep my Toyota Celica around
I wish we knew retirement savings. If 50k is his net worth, I can’t imagine spending that much for a car. But if he has another 100k in retirement go for it.
Im 20 years old, third year mechanical engineer, saved about 46k already. Still live with my parents, yet I contribute $1,000 a month towards bills. I bought a 2015 Rav4 in august and completely paid it off 18k. It is tuff, barely resting, either I am working or studying.
Plus I have been getting scholarships so I dont have to pay for my education.
Seriously thinking about getting s house, I have a 752 credit score, or investing the money I have after I graduate.
Buy a house when you decide to get married and have a child, until then, get an apartment or studio unit. Everyone has to pay for a place to stay, it's not throwing money away. Focus on finishing school, keeping your vehicle in great shape, getting 8 hours of sleep and being a licensed leader in your career. The money will come, the house will come. You're doing great, don't rush it.
I would stay in your parents home as long as they let you. Keep saving and investing money.
I've been there. A home is a big responsibility and you're always fixing something at times, unless you buy new construction and have less headaches.

It is me, my older brother and my parents living in the house. They want him to get married, I talked to my parents about it yesterday, they are planning on giving my older brother the house since he paid the most on it. So eventually I would say that in 2026 I would have to move out, or even a little before that. I graduate in Dec 2025, my parents plan is to leave the U.S and go back home and leave both of us here, seems like they want me ro finish school, get my brother married and they will immediately leave, my mom don’t work and my dad is 60 years old, he works but always tired.
Boo credit score
Dave, My first car was a 73 Monte Carlo. I’d love to have it back!
Ok, I laughed pretty hysterically a few times in this one 😂
BUY THE CAR!
Lol. I agree the car doesn't make the man. I got with my husband when he would ride his bicycle to my house. Now he is driving a Cummins. Good to stick it out.
30k for a 2016 camaro is insane! Unless he's factoring some upgrades, registration, etc. into it.
I thought the same thing. I am guessing he is looking at a 2016 Camaro ZL1, to justify the $30K price tag.
I have 2000 accord 2000 odyssey and 95 tbird. All with hundreds of thousands of miles. I'm set
She is truly beautiful.
Roy is 1000% right😊
As a single woman, I care more about a man working hard for a house rather than a car.
Let’s get you and our friend Kevin on a date then
An important piece of the equation was missing: if he buys the car to get the chick, then she will lay claim to half the house. I’d say buy the house first.
He's going to attract the wrong girl for sure. He needs to look poor, even then if a shallow gold digger has any idea how much you make while looking poor she'll still be digging for info what you do with your money and will assume you're loaded
I believe the house would be best in the near term. You have a garage to park and keep your car too.
@@joannaa.5101 these women have the weakest arguments. They don't understand MGTOW and guys are done with this bullshit.
That house will be more attractive than a sports car in 10 years.
The car doesn’t help but definitely doesn’t hurt. If she likes you , she will complement your car to create conversations. If she didn’t like you and isn’t a car enthusiast she probably ignored you lol
Jade you are wrong. I'm a woman and it is crazy to be interested in a guy because of his car.. That is stupid
You know how many shitty guys I know who drive brand new Chargers, Mustangs, etc. The woman is every bit as garbage as they are; rotten on the inside.
You know how many guys I work with who drive beater cars? They employ those kinds of people 😂😂😂
When you are young and naive you're impressed by cars. When you're mature you are impressed by character.
A person can want luxury and not have bad character.
People need to account for the economy going down the drain in the next couple years.

i’m only 19 but my girlfriend and i have been together since 17. i picked her up during winter time in a 2000 honda oddessey that the defroster was broken in. we had to pull over because us breathing in the car was fogging up the windows. that’s how ik she’s the one
Well, I'd much rather date someone with a sensible, paid off car and $30K in the bank than someone in a fancy car with a bank account $30K lighter.
DAVE RAMSEY SPITTING 🔥!
