"a chick car"? Options

[bosch8711]

ok all my friends say that ALL celicas are chick cars i tell them no but they just keep it up so anyone else have this jw

[slipgun]

They say that, just wait . A few mods and it turns dead sexy man toy. Besides, Yeah chicks love my car, they come with rides with me instead of their guys . I got told my car was a chicks car at first too... no one talks **** anymore.

[forkee]

are they basing their judgement on anything?? without any reasoning, their opinions are worthless

[Digndoug]

Iv been told this as well.. but also the people that say it drive honda's.. I would say thats more of a chic car.. are cars are alot better stock.. I dont care to much.. I think the newer ones are kinda more chick cars.. but i couldnt tell you why.

[H8DC3lica94]

i have been told that our cars are chick cars. But girls love them. And everyone that i know that drives the 7th gen is a girl or is gay or metrosexual. hahahahaha

But i have to admit that our celica are considered by alot of ppl to be girl cars. But they are not girly cars.

[macavely]

hell yea are cars are a .. chick car.. attract a chick car..

[acenova]

Actually, no one has told me that, and for the most part, I don't see a lot of girls driving 6gens. But anyone I talk to says that 6 gens are their favs. That's girls and guys alike. So your friends man, they just obviously don't got it going on.

[Rjb23]

Most people have no clue what my car is, unless I tell them. All I know if I go through drive thru and there is chick there she always flirts with me and says something about my car.

Are the people that say you drive a chick car, do they drive neons?

[ShadowFX]

Yeah, I've read somewhere that 70% of Celi drivers are chicks. oh well, at least chicks know a good car when they see it =)

[bufferdan]

i like my chick car... It doesnt pick up any chicks though The 3000GT sure does!

[uzthedentist]

the opinion isnt valid if its by a honda owner (unless they have an nsx) so dont pay any notice

[celicarocker]

the majority of 6gc's are owned by middle aged women....

[Andason]

[Jen]

I'm a chick.. and I only see guys driving it.. so I definitely don't see how it's a chick car.

[BlackCelicaGT94]

everyone in my area is just middle aged male/female. with the exception of about 10 people ive seen under 25. but 7 have something done to them but i know them

[bufferdan]

HAA HA HHAAA HA..We drive chick cars who cares..its still looks good... isnt a Probe a chick car too? they look nice also.

[BlackCelicaGT94]

also how does a car pick up a chick? if a guy comes to me and hes like well i have my mercedes parked outside ill honestly say "thats supposed to impress me?"

who are these girls who get impressed by the type of car a guy owns?? if im out with a guy were taking my car anyways cuz im too much of a backseat driver

[amysmojo]

This is what KBB said about the 6g Celica owners, pretty funny:

"Who is this buyer?----Celica owners are mostly female (64%) and mostly single (57%). The median age of these buyers is a fairly young 42. A significant portion of Celica owners are working professionals (40%), and about 67% indicate that they are college graduates. Celica owners have a median household income of $84,000. "

"How does this buyer drive?----Above all, these owners are likely to pay more for a high quality vehicle. These owners look for a distinctive vehicle and others compliment them on having good taste. Although they drive a sporty car, these drivers don't drive in any particularly fast or testy way."

[Mousetrashdiver]

Hmm, yeah i get picked on by some of my friends that drive a Jetta GLI and Civic SI (02). yeah but they like my car but its still not as fast as the cars they drive.

[amysmojo]

[Digndoug]

[amysmojo]

[97sccelica]

my friends sometimes made fun of me for having a chicks car,

but they always did agree that it looked good and was a rare car.

they stopped for two reasons,

1.its my sister's car now

2.one of my friends got a 2003 jeep wrangler, and as my other friend's say, its better to drive a chick's car than a gay guy's car, like a new bug or jetta, or jeep wrangler(no offense to anyone here, but statistically, jettas, bugs, and wranglers are the top 3 cars driven by gay guys)

[BlackCelicaGT94]

i think of wranglers as guy cars..atleast when theyre lifted and all..my friend just bought a wrangler. i hate riding in that thing. its a Biznatch to take the top off and on!

ive never had a guys car impress me

[Digndoug]

[BlackCelicaGT94]

ive never had a guys car impress me nor do i think one will unless its a McLaren or something truly exotic.

like if a 22 year old talked to me and he said he had a ferrari id be like RIGHT but if he could prove it then yeah it would impress me. cuz him being so young and successful (hopefully successful and not spoiled)

but a beamer or mercedes isnt going to impress me


PS the guys ive been with have normally had japanese cars. I.E 240 sx, MR2, celica, integras, S2000 or theyve had american trucks. but i have met guys just around town while i was driving or walking with beamers or mercedes and usually in my experience they thought the car made them better

[Andason]

Haha terrible. And I'm sure you would be more then thrilled to date a guy who drives around an 83 rusty beat up delta 88. it is genetics for females to look for males with the greatest resources (money) and males to look for the best female in which he wants to procreate with (looks)

your car is usually a symbol of your money

[BlackCelicaGT94]

i agree..hence why i spend money on my car and not on things for my room or something!

if a guy has a crappy car yes i will probably second guess if ill date him cuz it is in womens nature. but a mercedes guy has just as much of a chance as does a guy with a celica!

[Andason]

[amysmojo]

Good call Andason!

[ScoobyDooCruiser]

Toyota did make this to be a chick's car. That much toyota will admit.

Then again, the mustang was also originally supposed to be a chick's car, and there is nothing girly about it (except the name maybe. OOOh... I want to drive a horsie!)

It is a chicks car. The upside: It attracts chicks.

I don't think that many girls own them though (at least of the younger genereation.) Although, I got to admit my grandma drive a 7th gen in birght red, so go figure...

Hers is the third car back (next to mine and my bro's):

[amysmojo]

Are me & Natalie the only "younger" chicks w/ celica's on here? I think theres a few more girls but they dont seem to come on here very often awww

[BlackCelicaGT94]

wasnt our celica at the time supposed to be the cheaper version of a supra? so yes the secretary version of a supra i would say

[BlackCelicaGT94]

[Digndoug]

yeah, We need more ladies here.. Like some hot pornstar ones... lol

[Andason]

[BlackCelicaGT94]

Same would go for guys

the hot ones are busy being hot not on the computer

[BlackCelicaGT94]

also my friend who is one of the hottest girls i know is a total online nerd. she plays EVERQUEST for like 4 hours a day and has 2 - 6 inch notebooks with spells and everything!

so i dont know if ur assumption would be correct

[Supersprynt]

You kno what cars i see hot girls in. RSX's and 7th Gen Celicas... i've never seen an ugly girl driving an RSX. All hot, and mostly blonde.

[turboinduction]

i'm not ugly and my car is sexy!...

I've been told that every car i like is a chick car..
eclipse, celica, 240sx, srt4, and so on

Thats why i named them after girls. Amy Leahia = Celica
I wouldn't like it if it were: Butch = Celica... thats just wrong..
I'll leave the "guy cars" to the Truck and Camaro owners. And when is the last time a girl flocked to a Camaro... exactly.

[Andason]

[BlackCelicaGT94]

where did you get that? in the households i know of the MEN control financial decisions. should be that way

[shid]

All the other 6gcs I've seen on the road were driven by MIDDLE AGED WOMEN. UGH. Actually, I have seen 2 guys driving a 6gc:

1: bright purple hatchbacl 6gc. He might have been gay, the girls in the back of my car said he looked it lol. god I hope thats no one on here. Sorry!!!!!!!

2: black hatchback: old middle age guy. possibly his wifes car.

Is my car cute? yes. do chicks like it? yes. is it sporty looking? yes.

thats all I care about.

natalie, wait til you get married. when it comes to major household financial decisions, the woman in the current modern households carry a lot of wait. If she wants something, like a 6gc, she will usually get it. Think of it like veto power in the UN. if the husband wants to get an SUV for himself, and the wife doesn't care- then he gets one. but if the wife is worried about the gas, etc etc etc, then he won't.
because they control da sex

PS: I have seen ONE chick in a 6gc. this fine asian girl, I stopped, I talked to her, she never came on the site

[BlackCelicaGT94]

oh yeah ill get what i want. ill get say in financial issues. but i mean he will hold the checkbooks and all. thats how it is in my family. mom says yes then i get it. if dad says yes i get it. pretty much they out rule eachother!

BTW: amysmojo - beautiful car I wish I had seen it when I was in your town 2 months ago. I've never seen so many WRX's in my life.

Back to subject: This is my 5th celica and I had a supra too and I'm like the most manly guy you know.
VW bugs and miata's are for chicks
Camaros and Mustangs are for losers
Celicas have class

[amysmojo]

[BlackCelicaGT94]

well personally heres my player feeling

HIS MONEY IS MY MONEY and MY MONEY IS MY MONEY! hehe!

anyways..i want my husband to take care of all accounts. but yes i do want say on buying cars (parents should buy kids first car), kids tuition (which should be paid for by parents), buying a house, etc!

if i was controlling money i would be spending it all on me :-D

good thing i ran out of money cuz now i get to ask for

Coach shoes and business card holder for my bday instead of buying it myself!

gotta have the shoes and card holder to match the purse

[DamDirtyApes]

celica is a picking up chick car, i cant tell you how many girls have asked me for rides, its ridecoulous (sp), its not to bad driving around with 3 girls in the car well , when i was single that is....hah

also the other day a kid with a jetta tried telling me that i had a girls car ... HAH (he claims ihes a great driver yet has been in 4 accidents in 2 months)

[saleeka]

hmm... i think celicas became chick cars once they went FWD... lol... Around here, there are 4 6th gens in my town (including mine) that I know of. 2 are driven by older women in their at least late 30's (one is a real estate agent), and the other 2 gay guys ... as far as the 7th gen i think thats a more masuline car than the 6th gen, but i see sooo many more girls in those... usually chick cars end up being good guy cars for the simple fact that if its a chick car, she will like it, giving the guy easy bonus points with the shallow girls...

[Negative]

Thank God.

[amysmojo]

[creis]

i half to say that i think there a chick car, i see tons of chicks drivin them, not as many as civics but still, basicly i think that its a chick car untill you fix it up, than its just your car because theres nothing else like it on the road. unless you drive a civic, integra, accord, jetta, neon, miata, gulf, etc. there cars that no matter how differant you make it look there are gana be 10-20 that look just like it.

[kpbigsky]

the 6gc's have curves, lines, and contours that are sexy and make you think more of the female gender than of the male gender. I think this is why it is called a "chick car". Personally, I prefer to be assosiated with a woman rather than a man , even when refering to my celica. All the greatest cars are named after women.

Sorry to bring up this ancient post, but I found it in the repost thread, and had a good laugh at the fact that SMART PEOPLE BUY CELICAS, heehee

okay, I'll go away now.

[soulshadow]

Honestly I rather attract a chick then a rooster.

[slvr_celica_GT_8...]

yeah my dad bought my car for me, cuz he said it looked cool, origanlly i was between the celica a yellow mustang and a eclipes but i ened up with the celica. my friends call it a girls car but then i just say hey atleast i have one lol, or for the friends that do have cars my celica is fastest out of all of em.

[Shocker]

Honestly I rather attract a chick then a rooster.

i agree..i was with my freinds the otherday at the popcicle store and i parked next to an mr-s and their was a group of kids from my school and the two guys in the grouped looked at the mr-s and the four girls were checking out my celica.... ..but then my girlfreind was like i dont think its that cool jack.. and dont get any ideas about those other girls..my girlfreind likes it but like an eclipse or a civic si better

[6strngs]

yeah, my car has been called a chick car. but it seems that girls like it alot. and guys are starting to respect it a little more now with the mods. and people with "guy's cars" can laugh all they want all the way to the gas station, then we'll see who's laughing

[Mystify.]

Most chicks drive 7th gen Celicas, I think that's why people call our cars chick cars. There's about 3 7th gens at my schools and guess what, their owners are women (I'm the only one with a 6th gen, male BTW). Here's what I believe, 6th gen and below are men's Celicas (no offense to the women 6GC owners ), 7th gen is considered a chick car.

[Davesceli]

Chick car!?!?! Well show me a chick car than can corner faster than the the new SI (which i did)!!!Hell no...the 7th gen is a chick car!!! They didn't even get a turbo model!!!! At least the 6 gen is related to the GT4.

It does help break the ice with the ladies tho...they think its cute...in a manly sort of way!!!

Wow I guess im the only one who thinks my 6gc is a chick car, it gets decent gas milage, has a decent ammount of room, quiet (as wierd as this last one sounds) every chick car ive been in, has a mirror under the sunvisor of the driver.

[Ratix240sx]

Honesty I don't even know a male 6th gen driver, My girlfriend and a female friend drive them. Also I notice their are alot of females on here compared to any 240 boards I've been on. I think the reason for that is that the 6th gen is just a really handsome looking car. But then again alot of girls drive eclipses and mustangs.

[ImportChick95]

It's a chick car.

what defines a chick car???

if u cant answer this question, then u have no say.

[tomazws]

I think when people say it's a "chick car", means that they always see a female driving the car, it's really rare seeing a guy driving the car.


Around LA, specially San Gabriel, only OLD females drive celica... ****ing all beat up too... When I actually see a dude driving a celica, usually it's all fixed up, all bad ass and ****.

i see A LOT of females driving Porsches so i guess Porsches are chick cars?

[san0]

The Celi 6gen is a real 'Chick Magnet' rather than a chick car!

In the south UK, I see mostly guys driving in Black (like myself) or White cars, Women in silver or red or other metallics.

[JonCars17]

I could careless if it is a chick's car or not, but I'd like to add that my sister originally bought my car, lol. It is now mine and looks 10x better and by Jan. it will be faster .

[Insanity-74]

A Girls car.......Yea Right!!!!!!....not

[6strngs]

I bought my celica from a guy. 100% stock. though, his sister was driving it the last year or so... but it still belonged to him.

Same thing here man, theres 3 7th gens at my school and all of the drivers are girls, I have the only 6th gen and yet its still considered a chick car cause of the 7th gens.

u guys still cant define what a chick car is and yet you still label certain cars as chick cars.

[Glitch001]

I did in what I thought was a chick car, did you not read it because you didnt want to?

Ill summerize agian

1) Underpowered
2) Feminine Styling
3) FWD (just not my thing)
4) Not agreesive enough to throw into corners
5) -this one is more of a personal thing- A mirror under the sun visor.

the s2000 is a chick car to, not by its mechanical standards, but its visual styling. Doesnt mean i dont like it, just think it supposed to have a chick behind the wheel.

And we are discussing the celica, not a modded celica to the max. And theres nothing wrong with owning a chick car, I just dont think if a car rolled up next to you, you could "grunt" it away. But then agian, when I was 10 my mother owned a 1969 GTO, SWEEET car.

1) i wouldnt consider an underpowered car a "chick" car, cuz most of the earlier model cars are pretty much all underpowered INCLUDING the 5.0 liter Mustang and i would NEVER consider that a chick car. I think there are some earlier model Porsches that dont put out much hp either.

2) feminine styling is COMPLETELY opinion
- A turboed Beetle (stock turbo) completely contradicts ur first 2 points
- So which would be more of a chick car...a pink Civic w/ purple flower decals that puts out 300 hp...or a black civic with silver racing stripes that puts out 130 hp?

3) and ur other points are still invalid IMO.

Chick cars and Ricers are the most commonly overused words ever and is mis-used too often.

did i ever say u were wrong?

[Glitch001]

both civic are chick cars, read what i said NON modded cars. a mod doesnt take away the fact its still a civic when the lights go out. and bringing in age into it doesnt really work. Compare all cars of the same era, dont compare apples to oranges technology has come a long way.

I like agressive lines, decent ability to hold and use power, grunt. Color doesnt matter, decals dont matter, we are discussing make and model not frilly stuff.

And as overused as they are, they still maintain their defination. A ricer, someone who pretneds something their car is not, people who race non race cars, altezza tails and sushi rack spoilers dont make you fast. If you have the immature attitude and speed around, in my eyes your a ricer.

[behindthesmile]

lol it doesnt matter really if its a chick car i know alot of females like my car and admire it so do alot of guys they admit its good looking and the rarity of it is a plus you get used to people turning their heads to look at our cars. we all know our celi's sexy.

[6strngs]

I think most people see most small japanese cars as "chick's cars" whereas most european and american cars are "guy's cars" there's exceptions of course. I don't think that people consider an NSX to be a chick's car, and a VW beetle is definately not a guy's car. (from what I've seen, most people who drive VW beetles are preppy high school girls, or older women who used to be preppy high school girls.)

I couldn't tell you exactly what would make a chick car a chick car, and a guy car a guy car. so I guess this post was pointless...

[chacha]

I can agree...the celica (7th Gen) was made to catch the girls' interest and it was actually made and built to the grls' likings...basically to attract more women buyers than guys...true for the Acura RSX too...i just like the 6Gen b/c of the looks (curviness) and it resembles the older brother...the supra...

[SpoonR530]

This Thread needs to die, PLZ!!!

It is all based on personal opinion which is never something that can be argued. I'm sure a lot of chicks like the G6 and I'm sure a lot of guys do too.

[creamed_corn]

This thread is ridiculous and horribly, horribly sexist.

Cars don't possess gender. They are inanimate objects.

End of story.

[toyotatech]

my wife used to drive the celi then i bought here a 4runner and took it from here. i dont agree thats its a chick or for that matter that any car is a chick, i know girls that drive mustangs and camaro's, and i know guys that drive vw bugs and miata's every one has there own opinion.
