I'm not necessarily saying to break up with or disown them......but just realize that what they are telling you are classic automotive masculine/feminine stereotypes, not necessarily fact. I've seen this kind of stuff go on over many years........even decades ago when I was your age, and dealt with it myself. Several of my high/school/college friends, for example, laughed when I had two Buicks before the age of 20 (the usual "Old-Man's" car stuff). But guess what...I liked them both, and, looking back today some 40 years later, I wouldn't have done it any differently. (I also, BTW, in perspective, had a much sportier and more youth-oriented Plymouth Barracuda in college)

I know was just stating facts. I am Indian so stereotypes are normal for me, for my Italian GF not so much. I have been told many times that I have mature taste...

I forgot about the LX! That thing is super manly. So is the Land Cruiser.

Compared to the e63, there will be very few cars that aren't feminine.

16 and a 4.5 gpa, I did not know it went higher then 4.0, congrats cause that is impressive

MjThind

Thanks! I have a 4.5 because honors and AP classes are weighted more than CP and G Ed classes...

MjThind

True, but what can I do. I can't go and tell her to buy a more girly car...

You seem like a good kid. Whatever you decide to get, just make sure you use it responsibly! Keep up the good work at school.

so which one would you pick the range or rx350?

If you have the money, and it seems like you do, I would suggest taking a high-performance driving course like Bondurant or Skip Barber.

You might find improving the driver is more fun than improving the car. You might also get some more ideas on what kind of car to get. You might learn some good driving habits and skills.

MjThind

Thanks, man I'll try my best...

The Range, I heard that the SC version is actually really reliable because of its aluminum engine block and internals...

Good idea man, do you think if I show my insurance guy the certificate that they give at the end of the course, my insurance would be lower on a performance car??? Like on an IS-F or something, my brother used let me drive his until it got totaled in a really bad accident, he hit rock during rush hour and it tore up everything that came in its way on the underside...

TerrySmith

Not sure about the insurance discount - you should check with your agent. But if they do provide a discount, it should apply to any car as will the skills you will learn.

Sorry to hear about your brother's F.

MjThind

Thanks it was great car. I will check with my agent Monday and see what he says...

That's why I tell you to get an AMG black series, that is more manly.
