    Default Less of a Man ?

    If your Girlfriend/Wife drove a car with more Horsepower than yours would it make you feel less of a man ?

    If that makes you feel like less of a man, you aren't one in the first place.

    Let him know there are support groups and he can take medications for that small ball condition.

    Nope. My girl has a 03 Boxster with 16K miles on it and it doesn't bother me at all. I want another car. But I think I'm gonna get a Lincoln LS in the near future to cruise in for the next couple of years and when I have the itch to drive something sportier, I'll just borrow her car.

    If we're talking in terms of if I drove a 4 banger Honda that put out 200whp, and my girlfriend drove a V6 Camaro..... probably not


    but if my girlfriend drove a car with more power than mine, and drove it well....id probably feel a little emasculated LOL

    I dealt with this for quite some time up until a year ago, then it was lights out for her. Lol

    Her car does have much more value than mine on the market though (ep3).

    Well, I hope it doesn't bother most guys. That'd suck for me lol

    My bf has a GTI that is barely faster than the 911 (and I mean BARELY). I intend to change that sometime soon, hopefully (not with the 911 though).
    It bothers me when their car is faster. This is a first for me this time around.

    wasnt trying to say anything all i said was you drive a Porsche which is intimidating to a lot of guys already. Then i said a 911 is a Horsepower sports car so thats a good example of horsepower intimidating a guy in a relationship. Thats what i mean by a double wammy shesh!

    oh ok lol sorry, I just didn't quite get it and then the mention of a certain ex's name is not a good combo for me hahaha

    To answer it anyway...most guys aren't intimidated simply because it's an automatic. I don't know why, but that cuts the intimidation factor by A LOT! Plus, most of them just want to drive it rather than feel like they need to avoid it/me.

    Yeah i mentioned his name cause if he didn't drive you around i wonder how it felt to be seen riding bitch in the 911
    I'm sure a lot of ppl thought it was his and jut let you drive or maybe he had something better at home as his whip lol

    To be honest, I hardly ever drove the 911. I still don't drive it that much now except for around town.

    Every meet I've been to since the start of this year has pretty much been in a GTI LOL There's so much wrong with the 911 and no money to fix it. It sucks Already looking for something else that's more reliable and doesn't cost an arm and a leg to fix.

    It gets about 24 mpg and the maintenance is a bitch. I think the CEL has been on longer than it's been off. And that's simply because saving up money to fix one small problem takes so long.

    As of right now, the problems include: Brakes, bearings, MAF sensor, and a cracked front bumper (my mom did this).

    i haz NB....

    lol


    but on thread topic, no. my girlfriend drives a car with more HP than my little miata and it doesn't bother me. but then again it's a chrysler LHS....not exactly sporty lol. the only way anything like that would be even remotely close to emasculating would be if she could out drive me in something. and even then i think it'd be more sexy than anything.
