> [@Dag\_Otto](#): > > If you still want to impress the chicks, then take a chisel and take off the ‘R’ of the Ranger - then you’ll be driving a Ford Anger, and what could be cooler than that? A fucking Anger! Instant Bad Boy! No no no, chisel off the bottom part of the R, so it says Ford Danger. ---

I kid, but when I lived out there a co-worker started dating a guy because he drove a Lincoln Navigator…when she broke up with him she actually said “I’m going to miss that Lincoln Navigator” 😕 ---

How I miss the days of my youth when I thought girls cared what kind of car & transmission I had. Dude- if you want a Jeep, get one, but I wouldn’t put too much stock in how much of a chick magnet you think it will be. You’ll be disabused of that notion before it’s paid off. ---

Impress a girl by driving a Jeep? Maybe if you gave her the Jeep as a gift. If a girl is impressed by you vehicle, what are you going to do when she sees a better car driven by some other guy? Like tomorrow! ---

To answer the OP: Probably a few, just DON’T EVER use it as a line. ---

Oh well… read the OP and WHO DIDNT THINK OF MARC BOLAN and TREX?? Girl i’m just a jeepster for your love… [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-wXT9eUBm4](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-wXT9eUBm4) Damn Marc Bolan was cool. I don’t think he was in a Jeep when he crashed and died though. I had a really cool 96 Wrangler… got the soft top… that… well didn’t work so well in the southside of Chicago. had the thing broken into for loose change!! SO i got smart emptied it out and left the door unlocked. You should get a Jeep… I’m totally biased… had to trade mine in when my son was born and my mom frowned on me putting the car seat in the back!! BTW don’t get one of those four door… those look terrible!! ---

> [@EvilTOJ](#): > > No no no, chisel off the bottom part of the R, so it says Ford Danger. No, then it will be a Ford Panger. People won’t even know whether the _a_ should be hard or soft. Girls will wonder if it should rhyme with Ranger or Anger. Girls who spend a lot of time on that question may be the OP’s ideal target market. ---

I think you’d have better luck with a Ferrari or a Rolls Royce. If you know any women who’d be impressed by a jeep then they’re probably on foodstamps. ---

Seconding what others said about the “Jeep lifestyle”. Jeeps are terrible daily drivers. I saw them a lot when I lived in Colorado, but they tended to be second vehicles owned by outdoorsy types; folks who went camping or hiking every weekend. A mellow Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever or Australian Shepherd is a must-have accessory. ---

You’d get better chick-magnet value out of a dog. Seriously, I should have named **Attackdog** \* something more descriptive, like **Chick-Magnet,** or **Hairy Animal That Mysteriously Attracts Asian Girls**. ---
