A nice car is just a penis extension?

In my highly limited experience women are deeply unimpressed by flashy, sporty-looking cars.
When I started reading car magazines in the Sixties there was a letter from a young woman in Motor or Autocar saying exactly this. "They think they're so flash in their Jensen Interceptors and MGBs." I could imagine Interceptor owners who had bought for the wrong reason reading it and saying, "Oh, b
ks," to themselves about their unnecessary expense. Jaguar steve said:

I suspect it's jealousy.
The same mob will say people only like nice cars because they're keeping up with the neighbours.
Rather than jealousy or perhaps a dislike of shallow materialistic people who can't stop themselves playing the keeping up with the neighbours game maybe there's a understandable negative reaction to the way so many people tend to drive like arrogant Cocks and use a nice car as a means to brag about their wealth and success at every opportunity rather than just quietly and discretely enjoying driving one. The same mob will say people only like nice cars because they're keeping up with the neighbours.

Do a higher proportion of people drive like cocks in flash cars than normal ones? I bet they don't, but the people looking for a reason to dislike them notice every single one of the cocks in flash cars.
In my experience if you drive an overtly powerful car courteously and with the flow of traffic a lot of people go out of their way to accommodate you. I don't know what the psychology is, maybe they get a slice of the action. Don't know.bad_panda said:
The other day a guy I'm friends with on Facebook posted up a photo of an M5 he'd just bought. Despite being more of an M3 fan I can still appreciate it for what it is, as could most other people it would seem as almost all of the comments were positive, but there were a few that questioned the size of his penis 
I must be out of touch but since when was this a thing? By the same logic, do women who drive nice cars do so in order to compensate for having a loose vagina?! Is owning a nice house also compensation for some physical shortfall?
If I post up a photo of a nice car along with a photo of my old chap next to a ruler, would this be sufficient to pre-empt this implication, or am I then likely to face derogatory assumptions about my testicular diameter or sexual stamina?
My feelings are easily hurt and I care a lot about what other people think so I'm keen to understand the rules on this.

What many people seem to forget, and others unfortunately never learn, is that the prime biological imperative for all species, is to get stuck into each other, and keep on producing more species.
Everything else we do is, to a greater, or lesser extent, subservient, or supportive to the prime biological directive.
Animals do the PBD instinctively, they don't need, poetry, love stories, love films, love novels, flash cars, overt displays of wealth etc to make it all happen.
Humans however do something which tends to get in the way of the PBD, they think, so we have to take the actions described above (and many more) to ensure the PBD for humans is served correctly.
To be fair to animals, they do, in some cases do something similar to humans, in that they observe which of the opposite gender, displays the most attractive traits, and then use that to get plugged into the selected individual.
Cars are just `one' example, and in themselves probably don't do much in the female observation process. In most cases ask a woman what `the' car was, and they will say it was a blue one! What they will notice though, is how much it likely cost, because that then becomes a possible indicator of the earning potential of a particular individual. Nothing wrong with that, it is just the PBD in action. In some cases if, as in the case of this topic, a woman has been attracted to a bloke via the type of car he drives, it may also be likely, but not universal, that once `some' but not all women) has selected a particular individual, via the flashness of his car, she then wants the bloke to get rid of said flash car, to A. Prevent other women being attracted to the cars owner, and B. prevent the spending of large amounts of cash on something that gets in the way of fulfilling the PBD. Flash cars represent just one of a high number of different factors that potential partners knowingly, or subconsciously take into account.
Other factors could be looks, strength, wit, intelligence, musical ability,style or dress sense, sense of humour, and any of a myriad number of elements that go to make up an individual. But the bottom line is that all of these are intended to ensure the requirements of the PBD are met.
As long as people are able to remember where they are in the scheme of things, the PBD will be satisfied.

Take for example, boobs, I am definitely a boobs man, and I tried to work out why, but I realized, that all the liking for them now is, is a simple throwback echo, to the time when I was a baby, and when I saw a nice pair of boobs coming at me, it meant Aah! dinner is on the way!.
Of course in adult life that was not quite the case, but nevertheless the throwback echo for boobs was still buried deep in there, in what I use for a brain!

You can't win with people who are not into cars, I am looking cars with 5 litre engines and get grief over that.
I drive my other half a swift sport into work I get grief for that.
Only way to not get grief is to drive diesel Audi/BMW/Merc base diesel engined s line, m sport, AMG line to as that's is cool to them!!!

That's rubbish they made negative comments about it. No doubt trying to dissuade you because they are secretly jealous or something. I usually try to show interest in workmates things if something comes up, even if it's not something I'm all that into. the usual office busy body stuff Not bother by there comments as I get what I am happy with
