Mich Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Why is it that 'most' people authomatically assume that when they see a girl driving a supra that it either belongs to their boyfriend or father?:thumbdown I have had people come up to me at petrol stations saying that my dad owns a nice car. A chap at a shop not being very helpful when I tried to buy wheels because he didn't believe that I actually had a supra. A guy go up to my brother and say 'I saw your sister in her boyfriends car, she's lucky he's letting her drive that!' Do any other girls find this?

Pig Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Gutted for you mich, lol. Must be a right PITA. People automatically assume "daddy" *with plum in throat* paid for mine. Thay are way off the mark lol. I think most of us on here / most supra owners are guys. However its refreshing to see a girl own one. Still pretty rude that people just assume, maybe its a jelous thing!??! Oh and make sure you do lots of research before buying a set of rims, get some nice WIDE ones!!!

tbourner Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Girls in nice cars are cool, there's a girl I always see driving a nice looking Scooby down my way. TBH I've never thought that they might not be owned by the girl, why wouldn't they be! It's just the same as people asking what it does to the gallon (like I give a furk), or 'betting' that the insurance is a lot (see previous response), some people are just idiots I wouldn't take it to heart.

Todd Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Remember clarkson going on about how the evo and the scooby were UNCOOL cars to be seen driving but if you put a female behind the wheel they suddenly became very cool cars! Howz that work for the Supra then 50/50 split Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 I don't understand that at all, I love seeing a girly driving a nice car And love to think that she's a car nut when I see it 2 of the finest things in life combined.....

Faye Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 In the three years of ownership I've never had anyone openly suggest that the car isn't mine. I tend to find that reactions range from a gormless stare as though I'm in an alien or give a big smile I like the big smiles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Why exactly wouldn't girls drive supras? They look sexy and their insurance would typically be lower as well. Also women like being the centre of attention, and a curvy supra with the dramatic looks certainly helps in that department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it a lot - used to wind me up but now I just let it slide. A lot of men can't handle the fact that a woman drives a decent car (not tarring all with the same brush mind you) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chiefvinso Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 In my experience most of the female species dont know much about cars, my misses hates the supra and thinks that its a waste of money and other girls have said that it looks nice. I think its good that you have choosen a good car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really puzzles me, but each to their own - think she see it as a not mature attitude from me as she wants to have ickle keiths (me) which is not a problem... I really dont understand but I love the soop and its staying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian C Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 draining isn't it? I'd like to watch what happens the first time some moron bloke asks you why your boyfriend let you drive the wide-bodied monster. After all you've been through getting it sorted, it may rival the noise recently generated in Hemel Hempstead... -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
