All this started because I was thinking when I finish truck driving school (supposed to start that in the summer) and making some good money, I’d like to replace our vehicles. Our vehicles are a little old and neither of them are ideal for where we live. It would be beneficial for us if we had a 4X4 – we live on a gravel road and it can be hellish driving here – and I was thinking I’d like a sports car for myself. It’s not that I want something ‘flashy’ or expensive but that I do a lot of driving and I like to feel confident about what I drive, similar to how I like to wear clothes that express who I am.

I was looking at what cars I could lease or finance that aren’t too expensive, are sporty, can be used as an average car (i.e., not a two-seater that can do nothing for me except drive fast or look good), and are compatible with where I live.

Ford Mustang’s are nice but aren’t really the best for where I live and too many people own them, Dodge Charger’s aren’t all that nice, and I went through this process of elimination.

Finally I thought of the Subaru Impreza WRX STi. I haven’t seen many of those on the road and the specifications are awesome! .





It has 4 doors and can seat 5 people, an AWD system so it can handle the unpaved roads I travel on, a turbocharged engine with 300+ horsepower and it can do 0 - 60 mph in under 5 seconds with a top speed of 165 mph, and it is a little pricey but workable if I can buy a used one (I found some excellent priced ones on the Internet!).

Only after the fact did I think if owning something like this would make me more desirable to women.

You say that a man is handsome when he smiles no matter his attributes, NW, but what if that man has a hideous smile like me? .

I don’t consider myself to be shallow and I don’t think that owning a car will make me better. I’m am simply one that can appreciate a nice car and likes to have a little fun when I drive .

Yeah I do clubs and the like but it is still hard to meet women because few individuals my own age have an interest in the things I do. I am told I am limited in options because I refuse to drink alcoholic beverages and visit bars.

I was volunteering last weekend and was hospitalized because of an accident .

I’ve never said that I don’t have qualities I think would be beneficial in a relationship – I don’t lie, I believe I am empathetic, I am certainly not boring, etc. But it seems like this is never enough .

Perhaps I don’t give myself enough credit, Rose, but I never know if credit is warranted because it never seems like those qualities I have are enough .
