90s/early 2000s Civics were great. Comfortable ride and well maintainable. WTF is mom on about here, an ‘04 Civic is a great car.
Never been in one but they definitely seem nice. driving any 90s/2000s sedan would definitely make me like a date better, especially given how many people I know drive horrible modern SUVs
Definitely. I miss driving sedans and small hatchbacks, up until a few years ago they’re all I’d ever driven.
I currently have a Kia Sportage only because I moved to a rural area and needed something that could deal with country roads and off-road. Otherwise I’d still be driving my old ‘07 Accent, that thing gave me zero problems in well over 100k miles.
I dunno. My mom was in a wreck with one and bit off her bottom lip when she hit the steering wheel because the air bags didn’t go off. We later found out that was a surprisingly common problem for that model year.
Damn, can they reattach stuff when something like that happens?
They did reattach it, but the nerves were never the same so it felt numb and cold to her from then on, leading to her chewing on it because she couldn’t feel it normally anymore.
I sometimes miss my '01. Don’t miss the leaking taillight seals causing humidity problems.
it’s the shitbox that won’t break under you, and won’t get you broke either.
Are ‘muricans really this obsessed with cars that the model or car you drive affects your dating prospects?
Decades of propaganda by the auto industry, especially through cinema and TV, has programmed people to think that if you don’t have a nice car you won’t get laid.
Yes and it cuts both ways. Prior to transition when I was driving an Infiniti I got female attention but driving beat up Hyundais and Fords the only attention I got was from the police, like driving around with a sign that says, “pull me over”.
Post transition my life circumstances are much better but the cars affect my dating prospects totally differently. Driving a brand new performance model EV in 2022 I had at least two dates where the guy would lose all interest in me once they saw I was driving a car that costed several times their annual income.
You could literally see all interest melt off their face, “my car is the white sedan, can you drop me off there?”
Immediate flip from being warm and engaged to this cold, “gtfo out of my Nissan” vibe
You can’t have a shitty car as a man and you can’t have a nicer car as a trans woman

Sounds like you dodged at least 2 bullets.
Wait “performance model EV” wasn’t a Tesla, was it? They may have been in fear for their lives.
Are you really so arrogant as to believe that perception of socio-economic class is exclusively an American consideration when it comes to dating?
No, but the fact that a car is seen as an indication of socio-economic class is.
Plenty of people who drive really nice cars who are broke as fuck and plenty of people who could easily afford a luxury car who drive a 20 year old piece of junk.
It’s less about the car specifically as it is about what the car says about your level of wealth and spending habits
It’s a class war thing more than anything. Cops will pick on you more if you drive certain models of cars or a car that’s a total clunker with a busted window that’s taped up. Most people here don’t really care what you drive in the dating world unless you come from a wealthier background and are a snooty dick about it.
Yes, but mostly if you’re trying to attract men.
Sorta related, but I live outside of America without a car or any intention to get one now - dating like this would be impossible in America.
Those are some nice fat cookies.
They don’t even look baked
meema needs to learn how to bake
They look suspiciously unbaked to me.
I know right? I’m desperate for the recipe
- Cookie dough
- Ball
- ???
- Dun
I forgot straight people exist and was confused why a 2004 Honda Civic would be a problem
Unfortunately classism is ever prevalent amongst us queers too. Typically more tolerant though which is nice.
a 2004 Honda Civic is like a personal green flag for me, it’s actually hard to wrap my head around that being a bad thing
And you’re really cool if you also have a 2004 printer.

Either you or the article are lying.
I’m a dirty liar
Exactly, emanates financial responsibility
Perfect reason to drive an 04 civic lmao
What’s wrong with a Civic?
