Did your Charger help you get a girlfriend?

[misty440]

Well I once had a girl that was jealous that I spent most of my time with my car rather than with her. She said I should name her so I did. My wife wanted me to sell her for many years but finally stopped pushing the idea. She thinks that a car is just a car. Her other qualities make up for her not understanding our love for cars. I think girls are attracted to mustangs and corvettes. I think I have more girls looking at me in my Jeep than in the Charger.

Can't say my Charger(s) helped me get my girlfriend (now wife), but at least she's understanding.
One of our first dates was going to a cruise night in my '68 R/T. We used my '70 R/T as our wedding chariot. She's a real trooper, she helped me guide it in the trailer back at the hotel after the reception, wedding dress & all, & me in my tux.
She's now getting her own ride (a '69). Who could ask for more?

[General Ryan]

NO, I had her first and "permission" to go get it even though she said it was ugly and didn't want to be seen near it. It did however take me 4yrs to get her to sit in it!

Although, she said the day I paint it black, she'll be all over it. HMMMMMM

Hey dd44068, I didn't say she "ASKED" for one!! 

I kinda had to convince her to let me buy it. (It was the STEAL of the century, believe me!)
All in all, it's something I can get my son involved on too, when he's a little older. And, it would be nice to go to car shows as a family. Who knows, the Chargers could end up paying for junior's college someday. (I hope not!)
Yes, I guess you could say I'm lucky. Girls in the past hated the cars, and I guess at times my wife does, too.

I just picked up my 68 from the body shop tonight and the shop owner said that when he was in HS the girls would line right up for the guys that had a Charger.....

Actually, it was the other way around for me(sort of). My wife and I worked at the same store. I liked her. We talked once in a while. One day I got up the nerve to ask her out. She said yes. I went back to my department and was talking to one of my friends and he told me that she had a Corvette. That was a plus for me. It may not be Mopar, but at least she likes cars. We been together ever since. That was 1987. We were married August 26th, 1989. 

Although, she doesn't like me spending money on my cars.

Car was more of a sausage magnet    It was the nicest looking Charger in town and all I got was old hippies..."Man dude, thats a sweet ride" (spoken like Tommy Chong).  I have had the Charger before any of the women in my life (including the wife and 2 daughters lol).  gf (now wife) made a mistake of saying sell the car once.......I don't think she will ever make that comment again (that was 15 years ago).  She did get her first ride in last year and enjoyed the "looks" she got in it, even with it being a little rough on the inside.

[dpm68]

My girl avoids my '68 like it was the plague. She resents it and can't understand my fanaticism and devotion...she does expect me to work on her '99 Subaru though, and I do...but that's okay by me, she can spin clay pots on her wheel and worry about if they're wobbly or not, and I will worry about gear ratios and the right carb for the job. dm

[Doc74]

Hmmm yes and no, indirectly maybe...

I met Emily in charger chat but it wasn't, the car that did it, heck if you'd see the car...even dogs resent it...

It wouldn't matter one bit to her what car I had but I'm sure it helps to have a charger instead of a big suv 

She's just like me regarding cars, the charger is my ultimate fave, no lamborghini or ferrari or whatever can take it's place but there's tons more great cars and not all are mopars. 
I can just as well like a chevy or a custom caddy, doesn't matter really.
She used to have a '68 Z28 till a cop crashed into it, now she drives a last model ram air trans am which shreds my charger to pieces but....she wouldn't mind driving a '68 charger so I'll build her one, old skin, new guts.
Troy got anything left on your lot ? 

I'm an extremely lucky man to have her, whatever cars are in the garage.

Your extremely lucky that dogs don't vomit when they see you, let alone have a cool GF like M.

Thanks I needed that, you can give yourself a point for that one....bastard 

[mikesbbody]

This has to be the weirdest topic i have read but for me the answer is yes the day after i got my charger i had a one night stand (but she never got a ride in it!) not long after i was talking to a women on phone and mentioned i had a dodge charger and i got a instant invitation to dinner...and you guessed it...another one night stand (actually that one lasted 2 nights! an she never got a ride in it iether)  but really, im not into all that and couldnt careless what women think of my car what was that  bumper sticker? my wife sure, my dog maybe, my dodge never!!   

[1972Rallye]

Well, the night we met, I showed her a picture of the '73 Charger I had back then (I was/am a dork who carried a pic of my car in my wallet).  She said, "Oh, its a '73, right?".  She had me right there!  She always loved to drive it and she actually beat her ex-boyfriend in a race on Gratiot Ave with it... God, I love her!

Since then, she has always enjoyed/participated and even encouraged me in this insane hobby.  When I told her I found out about this cool Petty Blue '72 440 Rallye Charger in Youngstown, Ohio, her only response was... "That's your dream car... Why aren't you on your way there!?"

What a woman!  I think I'll go home and thank her again...

[moparguy01]

ive heard the "You love that damn car more than you love me" a few times. and for those of you who have not had that happen yet. heed my warning. the correct answer is NOT "annnnd?.........." they seem to frown upon that for some reason. not sure why.

all my charger has ever gotten me is flashed alot, and a one night stand or two. then it runs off most girls since they get pissed that i spend alot of time with my car.

[4402tuff4u]

My wife calls my Charger "the mistress". I told her it could be worse!

[MassCharger73]

The first time I met my former GF was in my 74. That car hated HER. If it wasn't failing on her it was trying to jettison her out of the passengers door. I think the car was jealous. I spent all of my money on her before Barb came along. The cars long gone , Barb and I have been married for 16 years.

[mikepmcs]

a race on Gratiot Ave with it...

Hey i have some friends that live off Gratiot.  His nam is kenny and he drives a modified elcamino station wagon sort of thing(red, if you saw it you would know what i'm talking about), digital dash and stuff it's really cool, he works at a body shop out that way.

ANyways, i'll let you know if the G/F thing works after June 25th at the local car show.  I did drive it today for only the second time and had an offer, matter of fact when I was at my buddies body shop he told me the girl across the street that works at the gas station said to him, and I quote " hook me up with that guy with the 69 charger general lee"

So i think mopars have their perks just cause they are the greatest cars ever made and not everyone has one.  specially in maine!!! word!

[Silver R/T]

actually keeps girls away. I tend to spend money on it rather than on girl. So 99.9% of girls hate it, haven't met that .01% girl that would like it.

You need to learn balance.
