I have never myself been attracted based on cars, but I did, many years ago, have a male friend in NYC who would borrow his guy friends' better cars for the night, because he was embarrassed that he himself did not have a fancy car (he was a recent immigrant and was going to a community college, and although he was very funny and nice, he was never "too bright" academically, so he had major struggles even at a modest community college) and he wanted to impress the girls he was hoping to pick up. I think it worked for him. I have not talked to him in years and I do not know where he ended up.

I do not know if that is relevant, Mr Venomous, because the guy was gregarious, an extrovert, funny, etc. In other words, he was not deficient in things that make it easiER to pick up girls. But he felt that needed to supplement all of that with a fancy car. I do not know whether the car thing would have worked for him had he, say, been extremely socially anxious.
