Did your Charger help you get a girlfriend?

[44t300]

Okay, this might be the wrong forum, but I've always wondered what women think of Chargers? Did your Charger really help you get your girl?

No it didn't.

The cost of restoring it almost ended my marriage though.

Well i got my chargers after i was married..  but when i finally get one on the road this summer we shall see!!!

caused a few arguments with the girl friend,now wife-she still resents the car sometimes,because she wanted me to sell it and keep my camaro,but i only had room for one,and i like the charger a whole lot more,and still do!

[TK73]

nope, but I scared the hell out of the new GF the only time I've taken her out for a ride... 

It certainly helped ending the last 5-year deal I had...

when I brought the General home and they unloaded it off the truck, she looked at me and said "THAT IS THE UGLIEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN" and to this day she has never sat in it....

The real question is:

If it came down to it, which one would you keep?

I'd get rid of both & keep my Satellite ragtop.

I think a lot depends on the color. My Hemi Orange Charger is more of a chick repellant

Paint it baby blue with screaming yellow accents (dash, door panels, mirrors), do fart pipes on 1" exhaust and spoke 20's.. that'll get ya action

does boyfriend counts too ?

My 70' RT was a thorn in the side of my ex from the day I got it.    My new wife loves the car & can't wait till I finish it. [Because then I half to finish her 65 Mustang Fastback]

Do you have something you want to get off your chest?   

[greenpigs]

 Nope, I dated the X and didn't tell her about the Charger till we were together about 6 months.

 Now I am single and my view is this: If she likes the Charger for what it is(cool old car) great. If she thinks I might have money or something along that line she can keep looking.

Speaking from first hand experience on this issue I have to say....It depends on the girl.

My woman is a big mopar fan and I was at a local pub one day for a comedy show when I met her. She told me that when she arrived with some of her friends they saw it out in front and she totally freaked out about it. Well come to find out, I knew one of her friends and she intruduced me to her and we pretty much so hit it off from there and weve been together ever since. Now since that time weve had a number of aguments that at times originate because I'm spending more money on the car than her but she's fighting an inner conflict on this issue because she really loves the car as well.

So my input is. If the girl is the type thats into cars then yes.....it can help.
Where you go from there depends on whats more important to you.

No, lost 2 because i was spending too much time working on it.
Easy to get another girlfriend not so easy findind a rust free 68 R/T or 69 500.

There was this girl I met in Freshman orientation at college. We talked for a while but after the test we went outside to wait for her father to show up and she loved my red 69 R/T I had at the time. We dated for 2 years and have been married for 25 years. Had to sell the R/T for our first house but she found my new 69 for me and drug me over to buy it. I new she was a keeper when she couldn't say enough about the car the first time she laid eyes on it. Oh by the way her dad was a ford guy so this was really impressive.

Doesn't this whole issue come down to; a car is no substitite for personality...?

I bought mine after I was married already. But I have to tell you this. This past May when I was working on the Charger in my garage by myself, one of my daughters friends mother, definitely in the milf category, on her way out of my house after dropping off her daughter, she came over to the garage when I was laying on the floor taking off the exhaust system and said: "those are hot looking tail lights on that car" I replied with a "thanks" and told her that I was attempting to get the whole Charger looking hot, hopefully in several months and explained to her the whole restoration work that will be done to the Charger. After small talk, she then said at the end; "you know, you are going to have to give me a ride in your Charger when it's finished, these cars bring back old high school memories!" She said these with a smile in her face. I only replied: "sure". I really didn't know what else to say.  

It's a bit off the subject but I think I get the gist of the underlying theme of your post.  

Oh, by the way I had a perfect view from where I was laying on the ground!! I wonder if she knew that!

You told your wife, right? 


As for a Charger being a chic-picker-upper, unless the car's value is really apparent to the person it's attracting, I doubt you'd want that type of person bleeding your wallet on you anyway. I know what car can be a good chic repellent, a Hearse.   I met one girl in college who was nice, & after talking a few times, asked her out. Picked her up in my Hearse after class one day, & she looked a bit spooked. We didn't go out a second time.    On the opposite note, same car, different girl, this one got a kick out of riding in it. She loved it & ended up with a casket roller imprinted in her butt.
