Cars That Make Men Jealous

It’s not a secret really – the domain of cars has long been populated by men. They certainly stuck their flag in the sand way back in the days when Henry Ford was cranking up his first assembly line, but ever since they gave us little ol’ women the right to get a license of our own, well, we’ve had an eye for fast rides, too.

Not that the sole purpose of owning a car is to get some attention, but it sure is a nice perk. So pull your hair back, push on those Wayfarers, and make the boys of summer turn their heads with these three hotties on wheels.

If you need a little more of the TMZ on Boxter, then check out Cam’s post on the 2011 Porsche Boxster, which dives deep into the mechanics of what make it such a supreme driving machine. All Porsches have that same distinctive shape that makes it stand out in a crowd, but IMHO, the Porsche Boxster has lines and curves that give it a distinctly vintage look. It’s a classy choice for those peep-toed platform pumps and red lipstick you rock with such charm. In other words, Boxster is refined, classy, elegant, and, let’s be honest, sports cars are practically made for a woman’s slightly smaller frame. You run no risk of having to climb into this baby, she’ll fit just like a glove.

The Chevy Camaro is what we Americans like to refer to as a “muscle car.” When it comes to muscle cars, guys are like paparazzi to the Olsen twins – they cannot contain themselves. They will want to chat you up about the engine, what kind of options you chose, and if you like the way it drives, mostly because any woman that owns a Camaro will know her way around the car’s specs. Only the Camaro SS’s come with V8 engines standard, so if you’re gonna go big or go home, go home with a Camaro SS. At its heart, the Camaro is the hard-working woman’s car, which is why base price on this beauty is right around $22,800. Lean muscle, we call that.

For a while there, Chevy Corvettes were seen as the kind of car a guy blew all his cash on in the midst of some mid-life crisis. However, anecdotal conversations on the Corvette forums say that plenty of people have been catching women in the driver’s seats of C4’s and C5’s. The 2012 incarnation of this baby will take you from 0 to 60 in just a touch over 4 seconds, so it’s not hard to figure out why more women are driving this American legend.
