I have yet to have a female complement the car without using the word cute.

Men are from Mars women are from Venus . Cute from a woman is a high compliment. What would you expect from a grandmother, "bitchin"?

I carted a business associate areound in my stook a couple of weeks ago (a guy). He first saw the car a couple of months ago. Both times he called it CUTE!!!

This last time I said "John, Please do not ever call my car cute again. Bad ass, or kick ass, or wahatever, JUST NOT CUTE! "

Cute does seem to be a response largely from the female gender as to cars, responses from guys definitely tend to the more macho terms. I don't recall having heard "cute" used in reference to anything but my jetski so far though...

A lot of females say this. My bet is they would say the exact same thing about a Modena had you have been driving that.

A woman at work said my car was "beautiful" the other day...that I like.

I had some kid at the Mobil station tell me my car was "off the hook"

I believe that is a good thing

I had a young under 18 girl come over and ask me If I was dating anyone...beacause her friend in the car (90's MB) wanted to go out with me...CUTE 2

but I showed her my ring

Cute is hard to take, but you have to consider the source. I try to keep in mind that they are trying to pay me a complement and that "cute" probably just about covers the limit of their knowledge about cars, much less how an enthusiast might feel about his car.

Obviously, they were trying to complement your car. Incredible the attention this car gets, even from our senior citizens ˙ ë
