I've always been complimented on how mean my Ralliart looks. Never heard of anyone refer to a Lancer as a girls car especially an Evo or Ralliart. Some people just think if your not driving some boat of a V8 your a girl.

P.S Love that car :)

Most of the comments in the first half of that thread that I read seem correct... *noidea* i.e. when you start [s]modding[/s] accessorising a car you usually end up looking like a twat.

Can't see how the CJ is girly though? Previous shapes, yes, but I have always thought that a lot of the CJ's success lay in the fact that it was such a gender neutral car. If anything, its on the aggressive side - even the 2L.

Definately a bit of a young person's car though.

I thought you might get a phone call :) I miss him too. Don't like this not being able to send him messages when I need to.

I just need to get someone to listen when I complain about my gearbox :(

I once saw a girl in a white RA sportback. I'm not sure if the car was hers but it would be quite cool if she indeed took interest in such a machine.

In spite of that, the Lancer CJ is by no means a girly car. I only know of Micras, Beetles, Excels, Accents and perhaps Mirages of old being labeled as ladymobiles.

Yesterday I parked my baby on the side of the road in a tiny, tiny place in the middle of nowhere and when I was wandering back to it I was studying it and I couldn't understand why anyone would think of it as a girly car. It looked aggressive and brilliant.

Yep, it's amusing to park beside even a stock Evo and think "hmm, my side mirror could almost slide under that one..." Hahahahahaha.

No. Baby Blue with pastel yellow racing stripes. *hurl*
