There is a different types of attention. Although 99 996 may cost as little as 2012 Eclipse, the perception and attention cars get is very different.

It is like watches. I stopped wearing my Omega on dates because most women knew what it was, however, when I would wear the Oceanus watches...no one would bat an eye, although price-wise they were almost as expensive.

Wow, Phoenix girls are horologists. When I upgraded from Seiko to Breitling, a lady I worked with said "Aww! You got rid of your Rolex!"


I really, really, almost punched her.

Phoenix; oldest kid lived there before he got married. Said he got tired of the first two questions from girls in clubs being: "Where do you work or what do you do? What do you drive?"

No! All bad used vehicle choices! Let me tell you what you need! You need a fast two seat convertible and a black on black CLS63. And if you absolutely have to have an suv like every other soccer mom, at least get an old lifted 4x4 diesel powered Excursion, just to keep the local SJW Prius pilots scared and angry.

You're welcome.
