Monster Trucks (I am assuming those are the ones with the giant tires, but I don't really know for sure).
I'd rather have the pink convertible.

I know you would. A pink monster truck would just look wrong.LOL!

If it's the big tire truck, I don't think I could get into it without a ladder.
I wouldn't want to drive a truck anyway--I have never done it before.
I would just adore a pink convertible though. :D

I think it depends on the convertible... like if it's pink and blasting Miley Cyrus music... then yes. I guess so. But otherwise when I see men driving convertibles I never thought it was girly.

I think it depends on the car if you ask me. Take into consideration Car A (left) and Car B (right).

To me, any cute convertible is a girly car. Bugs, MINIs, C-classes, Miatas, that kind of thing. Big, powerful convertibles are men's cars. Lamborghinis, Ferraris, BMW M6s, that sort of thing.

I totally agree with Skirtsnhose. Lamborghini's make panties slide off with the roar of an engine...or so i'm told.
I really want an Aston Martin, lol. My dad just got an invite to one of their things their having in Newport beach....mmmmm lucky

In my "Wilder Days" I used to own a 55' Caddy Rag top. Biggest non-commercial vehicle ever built! 454 C.I. Engine with 2ea. 4 barrel Quadra Jet carbs to make it Scream!!! The front seat slid forward & laid back flat with the back seat. Made a Queen sized bed it did! I couldn't keep women out of it! Seems they lost all their Inhibitions even stripping to stand up on the front seat going down the road!!! So before U buy one, make sure Ur "Testosterone" is "Up" to it 'girly' Dude!!! LOL LOL John

The largest testosterone car ever built..1959 Cadillac Eldorado Barritz

www.carseek.com/articles/car design history.html says:
"World War 2 also had an effect on car design, with car designs emulating aerodynamic fighter aircraft with tailfins, air intake ports, and jet canopy-like windshields creating frenzy in the post-war era. No era has since surpassed the fifties as the quintessential decade of the tailfin. The 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz has the unique distinction of holding that record, "Tallest Tailfin in Production."
I also had a 1959 Impala with the "Largest Horizontal Tailfins"!!! It too was a "Chick Magnet". It's rear window was so large I put "Home Box Speakers" in it with long cables on them so I could put them out on the "Fins" & let the 8 Track play while we played baseball!!! It had a 283 w. 3 speed & "Overdrive" gave me 23 mpg with an experimental "Carter Carb" on it. I kept sand bags in the trunk with a "False Floor" over them as around 105, the back end would "Lift Off" & with that the "Tsetosterone" had to be "Pumping"! John

Avatar shady Jun, 17 2008 at 12:24 PM

Avatar SaraMonster is preggo Jun, 17 2008 at 12:36 PM
yeah it's so surprising that trucks are so expensive now. Its not like any poor man can have one of them. Expensive on gas i'd imagine too.

I've never heard that. Most race cars in the past and many currently are open aired. I don't even think convertible is girly. I see more men driving convertibles than women. Besides, so many girly women don't like their hair getting messed up and men don't have that problem. I was raised in convertibles as those were our only family cars. Both my parents had them, mostly Jags. It was sunny and warm and just made sense to have the top done.

I was raised around Los Angeles, San Fernando Valley and Malibu beach area. And later in San Luis Obispo county and it was really both sexes driving convertibles. But then for many years there were no convertibles so maybe it's generational. In the 60s and 70s it didn't matter at all.
Avatar SaraMonster is preggo Jun, 17 2008 at 09:57 AM
oh yeah i remember you telling me that. ok it's probably just a personal opinion because i see men driving convertibles but for some reason i think it seems or looks girly, i do not know why.
Avatar Galeanda Jun, 17 2008 at 10:01 AM
LOL! Don't go saying that in Italy to all the men there:-)
You'll hurt their many pride LOL!
