Stories of people that USED their BENZ for a little....

So, Just curious how many people out there, men and women have USED their Benz to pick up someone.....

Did it work? what did you do? what was your line? etc...

So many people think that the car makes them and I think it just adds to who you are

....so....have you USED your BENZ to USE another

I picked my brother up at the train station.

It worked fine.

I drove up to the station.........waited for him to come out..........and waved him over.

My line? "Hey Scott..........how you doing today?"

The only woman I could pick up with mine is a hooker.

I pick up people all the time in mine, women to. I just picked up my sister from work. Since it has four doors and can seat five people its most usefull for things like that.

I harken back to high school and some of my friends had nice cars (or parent's did).

There was a cruise strip, but it was really for showing off your cars. I can think of one time we got two girls to come back with us. Driving an '86 Grand Wagoneer??



Right out of the "Preppy Handbook".

These girls could care less about the truck. They liked the fact that we had promise of booze, a parent-less house/pool and our silver tongues. All of the promises were fulfilled, but I don't remember much. Never saw them again. Not the kind of girls to show Mom.

"Getting" a girl with a car during the adult years? That one is beyond me. It's all about personality and yes, looks. (No I'm not Kamil)

Who says we are trying to pick up decent respectable women?

Hey, girls pick up on me all the time in my Benz!

'Course I like guys, so its less of an opportunity and more of a flattering source of entertainment, but my car is a chick magnet.

I go down town NewHaven, almost every night, and down town Milford with my 560. The car has actually done very well for me. I pick up chicks downtown, when the clubs get out at closing times. All I need to do, is either drive through, or park curbside, and I always get some action, and take strange girls for long rides, etc. Last night, I picked up a hottie, in front of Alchemy, and we snook up into East Rock state park, and spent some time there, and Then went home at about 3:15 AM and she called me this afternoon. Every Friday, and Saturday night, same routine. During the week, Most nights are ok, but not as busy downtown. Thursday was nice. The car works well for me though. It does what it was built to do. It has a nice rear seat, and is pretty spacious, with some nice hand holds for some nice positions etc. I just hate to sweat, etc. on the leather too much though, so I always to keep a blanket, sheet, or large towel on the back seat.

So the answer is yes, I do in fact use the car for what it was designed for..

I can pick up my wife with about any line - even stupid ones. But there's really no fun in that.

Between marriages i tried to use it to pick up ladies. I can't seem to remember the car doing the trick much.

I remember one saying it reminded her of an antique car. I wasn't sure if I liked that line or not. That was back in 1974. I think she meant it as a compliment.

ONe gal I dated said of the color scheme....ivory outside, navy inside...yuck. She was the last other woman I dated before meeting my present wife. My present wife thinks of cars as sort of like a washing machine. Will it start? Will it drive? Does the tank hold enough to go for a decent amount of time without filling up? (that last thing is her only complaint about the pt cruiser).

PT Cruiser = Over inflated Neon. I'm sorta disappointed in you for even owning one of those things. I was under the impression you had more pride in yourself than that..Burn it, asap and put her in a Mercedes wagon, or Eseuvee, of some sort..PT Cruiser..WTF?!! Sorry Tom. No hard feelings buddy...
