That being said, if you want to get a wife, don't get a Prius or Metro. Buy the best car you can afford that looks like a penis from the side (long, low hood). Not a Miata (perceived as a girl's car) or a red Corvette (looks like you're trying too hard). If you want to Ecomod the new car, don't do any mods that are easily visible (bodywork enhancements, gutting the interior).
Buy this book and read it cover to cover. Memorize it, then do it. It will change your life. Good luck in your quest.

thanks for the advice
I do want a wife who shares common values in core areas but that has skills where i am lacking and has areas i can fill with my skills. true opposites cannot attract, there must be a common bond in several core areas, outside of that having some differences is what makes a husband and wife complement each other in the manner designed.
There is a better book on relationships.... It is the best dummies book I know of, it tells me what i need to do to have the most fulfilling relationships in more then one area of life.
Its my personal favorite, I read it often, I have read it cover to cover many times and have some of it memorized.......
the Bible
I Know that all lasting relationships are built on a foundation of selflessness, of giving ones self for another. I am already in a relationship that requires I lay down my self and I know that to have one with the illusive future Mrs. Weather Spotter will require me giving up all. Long way to say it will be costly!

The Bible is the ultimate treasure map/ instruction manual.! Also remember, you attract who you are.

If the female won't accept me for who I am, to hell with her! Maybe that's why I'm still single....

LOL because I red only the last page of a thread entitled "Matrix full boat tail" and it's not about Matrix, nor full boat tail and barely about cars ...

I assume that question was rhetorical. But in case it wasn't, no, a Festiva is not going to cut it.
The Jaguar XKE is probably the ultimate, but who can afford that?
So think Jaguar XK (no E), Mercedes SLK, BMW Z3/Z4, Honda S2000, Toyota Supra, Dodge Stealth/Mitsubishi 3000GT, Dodge Challenger, Chevy Camaro*, Ford Mustang*, etc. I'm sure there are many others, but you get the idea. Keep it shiny and keep it clean on the inside.
*The Camaro and Mustang are perceived as secretary's/teenager's cars, but if that's all you can afford, go for it.

Lol, yeah it was!
I may confuse my Festiva for a brick, maybe, but surely not a . . . . .
I've already had my share of Jags, never an XKE though. I almost bought one earlier this year right here in Winter Haven, but since I already have the wife that everybody's trying snag with their big long penis shaped cars, I had to pass . . .
Wait, what's this got to do with a Matrix boat tail?

Your list is incomplete without:
My first car when I was a teenager.

Man, this is a serious conversation !
If you get your girl with a fancy car, chances are slim you manage to keep her ... and maybe slimmer you actually want to keep her ...
