Women in sports cars

Crubeens

I'm all for equality, but can't help scoffing when I see a women in a nice sports car. Is it not a waste?

rubadub

??? a sports car in irish traffic is a waste, full stop. I prefer looking at a nice bird in a sports car than a bald fat bloke.

A woman in any car is not just a waste, it is also a hazzard! :v:

Lol, I concur

OP: Would tend to agree with you but I find it hilarious seeing a woman driving a powerful car at 20 km/h down the road with their heads virtually over the steering wheel. so let them at it.

You've got the two types, the ones who guy and buy a real sports car such as porsche and then drive it at 20km/h and you've got the skanger girls who go out and buy corsas and "do them up" and then drive like maniacs with hardcore dance music blaring along the roads. Yet they still get cheaper insurance.

I'm in no way sexist btw.

I wish I could ban you all for being chauvinistic

We wish we could ban you from the roads of Ireland, but you don't hear us moaning! :v:

Maybe so, but the ones I see in the very expensive cars tend to be mid thirties and rich looking, not the types you expect to see out working on their motors on a saturday afternoon.

A waste how exactly? What are the alternatives? Because YOU could be driving it?? Or because you would rather see another man behind the wheel?? Do you go to car shows and wish they had some men draped across the bonnet in bikinis?? Or is it that you think a woman won't use it to its full potential and drive like a maniac in it?? :rolleyes:

Ah but how do you know Crubeens is one of us? The only way you can be close enough to 100% certain is if you take a detailed examination of his/her anatomy.

Not always the case, I drive a 2002 Celica & before that it was an Audi A4(too expensive to keep on the road though!)

What if they are wearing a short skirt and you are looking down from the bus window?

Here's proof (should you need it) of why women in sportscars are wonderful:

From that article:

Louise was born a man in January 1960 near the small Scottish border town of Duns, Berwickshire.

I bet he's a crap rally driver at that!

Women driving sports cars don't bother me.. in fact if my missus was driving this I'd be rather pleased

I think the OP thinks that those women are buying the sports cars for their "posing value". Of course everybody hates posers so no sports cars have no posing value.

You are really petty. Keep it up, it will boost anyone's morale to see that there are some sadder ones than them around.

Sports cars are for women tbh.. There are few things worse than a balding midlife crisis type man in a sports car leering at young wans!

They're women ON sports cars, not in them - I agree that we need plenty more of them!

You sir are brave or stupid and have just committed suicide.

I'm actually a huge admirer of women - thats why I feel comfortable enough to openly state my views on this issue

...of course you are aware that since women got the vote, there's been:

• 2 world wars
• a famine in Ethiopia
• the Cuban missile crisis
• global warming
• unprecedented ethnic cleansing in Africa and Europe
• the Taliban
• AIDs

...to mention just a few!

No silly boy you changed the quote. Not very smart.

sports cars are a waste in Ireland, regardless of who is behind the wheel.
as are souped up renault 5's and all those other pieces of crap out there.
you can only go as fast as the tractor in front of you.

same as the rich men who drive expensive cars I suppose!! :rolleyes:

I agree, a Celica is hardly a sports car. Sporty, yes, but a sports car is more MX-5, Boxster, Carerra, Corvette, possibly a TT or Z4, most Ferarris... Even the M3/5, S4/6/8 and Monaro are probably not true sports cars as they have far too much functionality/comfort built in. Evo/Imprezas are an interesting category to themselves though.

Some of the back roads in the countryside are perfect for sports cars. Nice twisty things...

Of course, this haven't happened in Saudi Arabia where women can't vote. Nor are they allowed to drive a car.

Women in sports cars are great. Especially if you're the bloke in the passenger seat fiddling with the stereo and waving at gawpers on busses.

Sports cars are for tools, regardless of gender.

Needs to be better than that. Mine cranks out 340hp and does 0-60 in less than 6 seconds, but it's a four-seater, with quite a few luxury accoutrements. I don't consider it a sports car, just an unusually fast mid-range convertible. You also have muscle cars, which have massively big engines, but don't do too well at those corner thingies.

A true sports car must be designed with the primary purpose of getting from A to B as fast as possible over both straight and twisty roads: Interior comfort, space, luxury, cargo capacity, fuel economy, etc, are all secondary. See Lotus Elise for a prime example of a pure sports car.

Is it my imagination or does the woman on the Maybach have no head?
Thats just not right.

I disagree, Ireland is full of "A" style single carriageways and if you want to make any sort of progress overtaking is essential, Overtaking is obviously going to be a lot easier in a sports car with a few hundred horsepower than in a 3 cylinder 50 horsepower daewoo matiz,

You have to wonder if this thread was started by the green eyed monster

lol - not a crappy Celica. They're wannabe sports cars like Hyundai Coupés.

A waste ? Sorry, but that post is ridiculous. Half the buffoons who drive sports cars buy them for show, to say "look at me" (by both sexes). How bout you try spending your time improving your grammar instead of moaning about issues beyond your control. It just makes you sound bitter.

That was just two criteria the new Celica falls short on. A measly 180bhp and 0-60 takes a week. Or 8.3 seconds, I'm not sure.

the funniest was a women in a 06 bentley gt which hit into a car on rock rd last week.thats what you call a waste.
they cannot drive for ****

i used to have one of these.
it got me from A to B,€20 filled the tank and it carried my tools. i miss that car.

My sister's got a Lotus Elise 1-11s. She doesn't live in Ireland, she's a barrister Manchester. But holy **** it's a piece of work. Fantastic car and any time I've been out in it with her, and we've stopped anywhere, the comments are hilarious from the green-eyed begrudging boy racers. Sad sacks.

The last time she was in Ireland with it, some "nice person" scraped all the side of it with a key. When she visits now, she tends to come in her other car.
Jealousy's pathetic and is for looooooooooozers, you know.

Another testosterone fuelled whinge. So sad - frustrated by a hormone overload, decides to have a pop at women they only way he knows how....Yeah rant all you like about STUPID WOMEN IN SPORTS CARS WAH WAH WAH- we all know what the real problem is
