In addition to being a method of transportation, our cars are an extension of our appearance. It may not be fair, but the cars we drive say a lot about us. You may be wondering how such a claim can be made. Well, nine times out of ten, a high school student’s first set of wheels is a clunker that will cause some embarrassment down the line. Moms are practically required to have mini-vans, and senior citizens seem to love four-door luxury sedans. Coincidence? Maybe not.
Sports Car = Sexy Man!
One vehicle study found that more Honda owners have college degrees than Chevy owners, and people with Rolls Royces and Bentleys, as expected, earn far more than people with less expensive vehicles. What is another common car characteristic that seems to be a running trend?
Sexy men love driving sports cars! Here are just a few examples of men and their cars:
David Beckham is not only – hands-down – one of the sexiest men on the planet, he also has great taste in sports’ cars. Posh Spice’s hubby has been seen driving around Tinseltown in an extravagant Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe. Oh, and let’s not forget that this hottie also has a Ferrari F340 and a V10 Lamborghini Gallardo. How does he ever decide which car to drive?
will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas is as environmentally-conscious as he is sexy and sporty. He speeds around town in a Tesla Roadster, which does zero to 60 in 3.9 seconds and is completely electric, no gas required.
Pharrel Williams, musician and co-creator of fashion lines Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream, parks a $400,000+ Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren at his pad in addition to owning a $1 million, carbon-fiber, Formula 1-inspired Ferrari Enzo.
David Hasselhoff drives a silver convertible MINI Cooper and has gone on record saying it stands for “Mobile Inter-National Icon.” That’s quite a claim for an aging celebrity to make, but let’s not “hassle The Hoff,” as they say. After all, he was considered quite the stud during the 1980s thanks to his Knight Rider persona, and he did play a sexy L.A. lifeguard on Baywatch alongside Pamela Anderson. A convertible MINI is pretty sporty, right?
Adam Sandler may not be the epitome of sexiness, but his generosity and taste in cars certainly is. Mr. Sandler surprised each of his “Grown Ups” co-stars, Chris Rock, David Spade, Kevin James, and Rob Schneider, with a $200,000Maserati. Yep, each of them got one.
Simon Cowell can frown upon other drivers and their rides just as much as he looks down on hopeful musicians and reality TV stars. When you’re an obnoxious yet good-looking guy who drives a Bugatti Veyron, the fastest and most-expensive street legal car on the road, it’s almost justified.
While it may not be fair to judge someone by the car that he chooses to purchase, it’s safe to say that most guys do look incredible behind the wheel of a sports car. That being said, a single man who is open to new relationships may want to drastically improve his attractiveness to women by trading in his bulky beige SUV for a red, convertible two-seater!
