Semantics. Anyway, aiming to please by getting on your knees and begging is pathetic. That's all. Now **** off, Cowboy.
I send you one pic of me in assless chaps and now I'm forever, "cowboy."

So why respond at all, then?
How long did you keep your chest puffed out after basically telling him he's a douche?
Oh please. After years of this, a little hard truth is needed. I've been there before, acting the same way. Somebody having a difficult conversation with me helped. Can't just tell people what they want to hear.
Agree that a new hobby will help. Expand your circle of friends. Don't do **** just to meet a girl. Do things to have fun, and join social groups to do these activities. Ski, kayak, bike, travel, join a dodgeball league, join a cult, whatever.
As far as cars go, imo, buying a cheap/older german car is a bad idea. Look at the average repair cost for a Merc or Audi. I stay in the Toyota family as reliability and resale is amazing (the resale makes me tend to buy new toyotas as the used prices are a bit nuts), and replacement parts are reasonable and easy to source.
You can look at a car as a tool or you can look at a car as something to be excited about. I'd buy a used BMW, Audi, etc. over a new Toyota, Chevy, etc. every time, not for image, but because I like cars that perform exceptionally. But nothing screams boring louder than pulling up for your hot date in a Toyota Camry. A Tundra on the other hand gives off a good manly vibe.
Okay good.
You're a dick and should consider being nicer.
Boom.

If your goal is to scream "Hey, I'm in the middle of a mid-life crisis", I would go for it.

Or in your case, the sequel to Broke Back Mountain.
Thanks guys for all your advice.
1. Yes [MENTION=430]Dr. Jones[/MENTION] I do play the guitar but haven't been for the last couple of years but might pick that up again.
2. I already own a company van (thanks [MENTION=253]Saint Cy of JFC[/MENTION]), that I've been driving around the last 6 years, hence wanting something a bit different. It's got our company logo on it, not exactly a chick magnet.
3. I'm not an outdoor adventure person at all (sorry [MENTION=2036]b_line[/MENTION]), I do like to drive out of town and check out different towns and sceneries though so this new car will likely come in handy for that as I want to travel in style rather than driving around the company van for that. Also likely to be staying hotels/motels rather than camping...
4. Like [MENTION=2710]str8line[/MENTION] said to me a car is more than just getting from point A to point B (otherwise the current company van would suffice), hence the thinking about upgrading, I think it offers a lot of intangibles.
But yes I think all this has given me lots to think about. Maybe I should get a 5 seater sedan, but then I don't see myself carrying that many people and not planning to have kids anytime soon.
With the feedback I got so far seems like the Golf GTI is definitely out, doesn't tick enough of the boxes. The Merc somebody mention will make me look too much like a douche? So I think that's out. I think it's down to either the Audi TT or a 5-seat sedan right now (@Ron_Mexico's suggestion I think). The 5-seater option is actually a bit cheaper, so I'm definitely considering that too. Maybe I'll settle somewhere between and get a sporty version of the 5-seater.
If you don't like the outdoors, then what do you like about the indoors??
You gotta be really into something.. how about cooking?
Cool.I like the outdoors so far as going to the springs & enjoying outdoor hot pools... light trekking and mountain biking, sightseeing, ... but still saying in a hotel/motel, I'm a creature of comfort. So because of that I don't know if I need a jeep or a 4WD type car?
Cool.
I'm just exploring who "you" are from a woman's perspective.. except I'm not a woman, but still.
What makes you fun?
What makes you adventurous?
That's how it starts.
It's MUCH later that they care about security and safety.
Ah, ok, I'm a city person first and foremost being born and raised in a big city. So I'm probably not the most adventurous person. In the big cities, I thought girls are more drawn to guys who seem to 'have it' and can take them to fancy restaurants, take them shopping, go to the cinema, go clubbing, dinner by the sea, etc? That's who I'm targeting at the moment, not so much the adventurous types. Hence the type of cars I'm targeting.
But of course in the weekend I'd also like to drive them out to sightseeing, etc. Not full on camping & 3-5 days trekking, but more like driving around visiting farmers' market type thing.
