Chicks and Fox bodies
 

Hey guys,

Iv noticed alot of girls look at the fox body stangs and snub there noses at it. They say they are short and ugly, Yet i look at it and see performance and beauty... i dont know, although i recall one girl i was messing with and she hated me racing and me driving fast... she called my ride danty.... i responded yep danty as in light, the lighter the car the faster it goes... she didnt like that at all.... so why the hell is it that the girls go to the ricers when it comes to the fox bodies.. or is this only in oklahoma.

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

they dont care how fast the car goes ..its all image man - i personally love the fox bodies minus the interior.

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

Keep in mind (and remember I'm speaking in generalities) they only see the car as a car, and usually don't have the appreciation we do for the mechanics of the Fox bodies.

It's why a lot of them like the ricer cars: they're shiny and loud.

We know the truth: they're slow and mostly plastic, and almost all of those "modifications" on it do nothing for performance.

If some chick wants to judge me by my wheels, she can go find another ride, if ya know what I mean. ;) Besides, what Mustang guy wants to hook up with a girl that doesn't know her cars?

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

Exactly, i left a girl when i was 16 because she said my 68 fastback was ugly.... just some times disapointing when there is a girl in a tight pair of jeans and she walks over to a honda.... gotta love when you drive by and tell him cute care.. his look alone is priceless.

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

ive had my '68 called "cute" before - needless to say i was upset

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

Better cute then "wtf is that its ugly" we wernt togeather long after taht

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

LOL true ..true

Ever see "Jeffery"?:
*Waves hand* "Leave this house." :)

Mine wasn't big in cars originally, but she's learned...When we went to look at the '66, it came rumbling out of the peoples back yard, she grabbed my arm, and goes "me like :) "

The best time was when these yutz's in a 4 door honda tried me at a light. I figured WTF, and spanked them through second. After I came off it, I looked at her, waiting for the "guy/penis/immaturity" chiding, and she just turned and (apparently reading what I was thinking) goes "those ***** deserved it."
You go Girl! :D :D :D
I know shes spanked a couple of folks since she started driving the 93 too, LOL, but she downplays the times she's "had" to get on it.

Theyre out there, you just might have to hunt for/teach the right one<g>. And if she already loves games like road rash, you've already got a potential winner :cool:

J

*Edit* And Capri: You can't imagine how much it warmed my heart the day we were watching some "lexus" type commercial.They were braggin about whatever it was's HP. She didnt even look at me, but says to herself, "yeah, but at what RPM?"

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

Girls who love cars are GREAT!!! But the majority of them in my experience aren't really interested in cars in general.

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

Kilt... keep her, you lucky dog you. Yet i am stuck with girls down here whom are like "whats a transmission" i know this cause i just got off the phone with one and she was asking me what it was.... i swear.... anyways. I'm thinking about selling the stang to go to whyo Tech....

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

Thanks, I intend too :D

"Whats a transmissoin?" :D :eek: :D

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

I just woke up... trying to gather my bearings... anyways i found a girl who likes stangs, think i will lock her in a box or cage.. so she cant get away, and kilt... send the tail lights!! lol

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

Here in East Kentucky, the girlies love a v8 Mustang. They don't look down on the other Mustangs, they just love that rumble...specially the Fox bodied cars.

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

Most people up here dont know that fox's are mustangs, they just say, "that ugly thing is a mustang??!" I used to think that too, sadly, but i have warmed up to them alot, and want one now, but my 65 is taking all my money..... I had a girl tell me that my car was a girls car, that was depressing...

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

Arkansas is a mustang heaven.... oklahoma is camaro shit... and i hate it.. o well just more to out run. I used to hate fox bodies, little did i realize how high performance the little buggers are, i bought a wrecked lx 5.0 and a t-top and mass aired it there amazing, i wouldnt trade it unless it was a 93 stang im in love.. lol the girls hate them though...

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

Last year our Mustang Club helped sell raffle tickets for a 1993 Bright Yellow LX Convertible for the East Texas Crisis Center. I heard a lot of that, and this one was a mint convertible!

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

yea... girls cant live with them.... wait... just dont live with them.... continue every thing else..

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

I have noticed that many girls do not like "most" fox bodies as much as some other years of the Mustang. That being said, find a girl that doesn't like a nice GT vert with a couple appearance mods.

Many fox body coupes rolling around in primer gray just aren't going to turn heads as I don't think the sound of dumps and the "fresh outta the junkyard" look does as much for girls as it does for guys. Most intelligent guys see an old fox body that sounds mean and looks a little rough, and they think, hmmm wonder if this guy has spent his money under the hood rather than on the metal?

I can respect a rough looking ride that has some investment under the hood. I just don't think girls are, in general, as interested in what kind of heads the car has vs what kind of paint job the car has. Just for the record, I respect the Mustangs that have work under the hood on the metal or are just plain stock.

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

You have a point... To day a girl looked at my ride when i was at the hypo shop and said "thats a real nice stang" i said thanks.... why couldnt she have been hot.. .grr

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

I agree that most girls are not 'into' Fox-bodied Mustangs or high performance car, in general. To most of them, a car is just transportation. That's why you see a lot of girls driving Honda Civics, Mitsubishi Spyders, Volvo convertibles and the like. The 'retro' look of a car like my '90 Mustang LX hatch doesn't do much for them. Even my loving wife, who has driven the 'Stang many times over the years, still calls it 'Bossy' - meaning that it feels like it wants to get away from her any second. "Too much power" (it's near-stock!). 'Hard to drive". Go figure. :)

So, the bottom line here is and remains that a Fox-bodied Mustang V-8 is always going to be mostly a 'guys car' and you can't expect too many potential girlfriends to be impressed with yours - or to appreciate it as you do. Then again, any guy who buys a car just because girls may like it, even if it's a slow piece of you-know-what, probably shouldn't even be messing with girls in the first place, if you get my drift ;)

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

The faster I go, the louder she screams!

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

I don't know about girls' attraction towards the 5.0 but they seem to like my 65 alright. And it needs a paint job. I get "ooh I like your car...can I drive it" a lot. Um, thanks, and hell no! And I hear a lot of stories from guys about how they used to have a car just like mine. But all I hear is blah,blah,blah...I don't have it anymore. Bottom line is, who cares what people think about your car. It's yours, bought by you, for you to enjoy. And if they don't like it, they better not get stopped at a light next to me.

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

Great point man. Where I'm from all the chicks are interested in big jacked up trucks mostly, some are into rice though. My g/f likes mustangs but doesnt really like mine that much and she makes fun of me b/c of my passion for it. but all she knows about cars is gas tank, gas pedal and radio. (she drives a hyundai) :rolleyes: damn the luck! Ive had a few girls wanna drive my car but i think mostly b/c they wanna drive a stick. :) Well that's all I got to say about that.

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

i met my wife because she liked my 91 gt but it was 1992 and around here hondas were motorcycles and none of us cared that they made cars now she wont even ride in the current stang (a 92lx) so go figure she has gotten to use to the way our suv drives still i wouldnt base a relationship on vehicle prefrence or ownership and enjoy being young single and kid free for as long as you can its a lot easier to spend your money on your stang if there isnt a women in the picture

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

This is funny to me becuase my wife likes the fox bodys and I don't really like them all that much. I still bought her one though. I always say that it is here car I won't claim it. Know it looks like I am going to be buying here an 05 vert cuz she like those and the 91 GT will be going on the show circuit with my CJ. (wich will always be the fastest car in the stable).

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

Yeah I don't know what is wrong with chicks, they all like those ricers with the snowplow at the front. The worst thing is that they all sound like a mad bumble bee, it is just funny.

But I understand the concept of "I just had to do it" there is a lot of times that you just have to race people, specially if they are other girls driving crappy cars. I guess we are just like that.

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

naw i work with a girl that would rather drive a fox body than a sweet looking 66 shelby clone............go figure. :eek:

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

Off topic, but I'm a Coors original drinker too. 8 )

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

were a dying breed 4barrel.......seems like most people are into that diet beer crap

as far as the rest of ya when ya find a girl that likes cars......MARRY THEM!!!!
Your hobby will never go on the back burner :P

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

Okay guys, I'll explain it to you... (As a "chick" who does appreciate what's under the hood)...The Fox bodies are too square. I like curves and smooth lines... they are sexier. Why do you think so many girls like vettes? The curves man, the curves! Men want to show off their "big engine", chicks like to show off their curves.

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

Coors, me and a drinking buddy were shooting the bull one night and drinking good, cold Coors Original when he explains to me the difference in Coors and everything else. Everything else is made of junk and preservatives that keeps it from expiring. Ever notice how Coors Original beer has a low shelf life compared to the other stuff that has a long expiration date? He said it was because the Original is made from more natural ingredients that cause it to go bad faster, BUT won't leave you hung over the next day. I don't know about you, but I've did some "experimenting" and he's right. Coors don't give me a hangover when the other junk kills me out. Maybe he's just full of crap, but I take what he said as the truth...hehe.

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

i never noticed the short shelf life but i did notice the no hang over the next morning :)
and stacy how dare you mention the V word here :P

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

Sorry man, I was raised on "v"s and speed boats with "v" engines in them by my brother, so they have a soft place in my heart. He also takes me for rides on his Harley so I appreciate all forms of speed and power.

BUT, mustangs are my new love because they are so versatile and I have had more fun since I got this car!!! Mustang people are awesome! Not snooty, fun to talk to, and just a different breed altogether.

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

I agree, Mustang people are the nicest you will meet. Young ones, old ones, guys, girls, they are all nice people to hang out with. I like all Mustangs, never been a Fox body lover, but I respect the Fox body cars because they brought the Mustang back into performance and kept the Mustang selling after the 74-78 Mustang II cars. I prefer the 94-98 for curves, and I love the 99-04, they are the performance Mustangs and women love them too. The 2005 is a winner too, I see as many girls/women driving them as men. There is a Mustang for everybody :)

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

I haven't been by here in a while. Good thing I droped in. It seems like I may be one of those rare fox body loving chicks. It's what I feel most comfortable in. Clean paralell lines, lightweight, cheap to mod... what's not to love? :D

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

Strokedstang - as hard as it is to believe - yes - we are rare - but we are out there!
I gew up in a mechanic family and all i seen and heard was cars - trannies - v8s and alternators! - And i am currently in love with my new 05 stang GT Redfire!

4barrel - Foxy stang chicks Looove the rumble!!!

:)

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

Stangette, I love foxy chicks that love the rumble. :)

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

When i bought my LX my girlfriend just had a sour look on her face and said "it'll look better with nice paint" and "it just looks old", which i don't blame her. I see a blank canvas of inexpensive power, she sees the paint....which paint doesn't make a car go any faster (it's not bad, it's just chipped/original). She is into the ricer garbage because "they're pretty!". I had a friend who had a Volkswagen Jetta that i called "cute" all the time, now he bought an Acura RSX for $20,000. I can't wait to spank him with my budget stang.
There's just something that gives me a special feeling about the sound of a loud, rumbling V8 car and the scream at wide open throttle :D, i don't see anything savory about a high pitched lawnmower engine

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

go get 'EM! :D

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

As a girl, I feel I should say something to this. Ricers are increadibly dumb. They are a total waste of money and shouldn't be allowed on roads because of all the annoying, useless noise they make. Fastbacks are not my favorite body types, I lean more toward coupes. But, hey, I appreciate why a fastback is 'better' and if I was facing the choice between a coupe and a fastback I would go for the fastback.

All of this opinion has been formed over the last year and a half that I've been with my BF, Matt (mattgoveiagt on here). So, yeah I used to be totally clueless about cars. I never liked ricers because they were just annoying, but I also didn't appreciate anything about cars besides looks. So, don't give up on us "Stupid Girls"...we can appreciate if given the chance. :P

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

i love the looks of the fox body stang, it looks mean. it has the look that says dont ***** with this.

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

The Fox-bodied Mustang 5.0' s are now what the '55 Chevy V-8 was 40-some years ago and will probably be popular for just as long; about 30 years past the day the last one rolled out of a showroom.

Once something else inevitably replaces the Fox-bodied Stangs as the longtime muscle car of choice (for serious car nuts) they'll still be a regular attraction in the 'antique' section of the car shows in, say, 2040 or so.

Even then, girls still won't like them - but will forever go ga-ga over some riced-out Japanese monstrosity posing as a actual car.

Go figure. :)

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

Stang girls know what makes a REAL muscle car and can appreciate the merits of a hot Fox 5.0. :)

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

AMEN. Nuff said ;)

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

my goodness. im in love. :o

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

Its going to be 1 in a 1,000,000 if you find a hot girl thats into a fox body. You might find a FEW girls that like em, but they probably aren't going to be too good looking. Thats why I just picked up a E46 M3. :eek:

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

Ah to the BMW M3

L "'Cause chicks dig dudes with money."

p "Well, not all chicks."

L "Well, type 'a chicks that'd double up on a dude like me."

P "Good point."

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

In my hometown, ALL the hot chicks are into fox body cars. One hot chick drives a 88 fastback lx that is primer grey but has a quick 306 with a 5 speed. Maybe it all depends on where you're from.

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

So your premise is that if a girl likes a fox body she must not be that good looking. Is'nt that a slam to the girls answering in this thread?? :confused:

Re: Chicks and Fox bodies
 

Its a generalization, its true for ~90%. Theres always exceptions to any rule. Out here in So Cal, not many girls are into them. I didn't buy the M3 for girls tho, as you know KB. I bought it for the car that it is. I guess the fact women like E46s is just a side bonus, lol. Not to mention it traps about 5 mph faster than my 99 cobra bone stock, almost the same rated HP and Curb weight. :rolleyes:
