People assuming I bought the Z4 to pick up girls gets really old

[Aebous]

Yep, the car is sexy. I'm in the same boat you are. I bought the car cause I loved how it looked and performed. Of course everyone thinks I bought it to compensate. I'm not going to ignore certain advantages in that regard though. Ah well I'll take them for a spin and show them why I bought the car. By taking a corner very fast

See my thread about the Z4 an ladies at the linkey.

There are two common assumptions for a man to get a sports car: If he's under 30, it's to get chicks. If he's over 30, he's having a mid-life crisis. Having driven sports cars my entire life, I've had both thrown at me. You get used to it.

I agree....the most common thing people say to break the ice with me is "so how do you like the z?" They do think it costs much more then it does. Last week I was caught in the parking lot with the VP seeing me....i thought shoot, i'm sure he's thinking what everyone else is thinking.......that it costs a ton, and there goes my raise.

My wife won't drive ours to work! She doesn't want the boss to see her in it for the same reason!
