Not my actual car but really close.

I used to come back to phone numbers written in lipstick on the windshield, underwear under the wipers. .

My 91 Miata got a TON of attention! It was ridiculous since the car wasn't anything special or very clean!

Agreed. My R107 560SL got tons of attention, even though it was nothing special:

That car screams "old money." As in, stately houses covered in English ivy and girls thinking, "I want to get to know this guy and his family."

Chicks dig bitchin' Camaro's.

Or 4th gen's. I think a car needs to compliment your personality. I like hammering E36 M3. Camaros are hammers

I owned a Austin Healey Bugeye Sprite while in my 20's and yes that car got more attention than my Mini, GT6, etc. combined. In fact met my future wife because I was driving it.

On the other hand I own a Komondor (a flock protector like a Great Pyrenees but with dreadlocks), seriously taking this mop for a walk is like being next to movie star holding an adorable baby.

Every girl I met when I was tooling around in this seemed to love the damn thing. The super bouncy ride from the cut springs made things entertaining.

Anything+dog is hot lady kryptonite. If I'd take my parent's fat ass dog around with me in my dad's built rock crawler TJ, it was incredible the response I'd get ANYWHERE. Too bad the dumbass dog seems to hate wind and just curls up in a little ball and falls asleep in the passenger seat. It's almost silly how small a 110lb dog can get in ball form.

The DeLorean- but it gets an inordinate amount of attention overall. It's the only car I've ever had a woman leave a note on with her phone number under the wiper while I was inside a place shopping. It always amuses me when a group of girls will go nuts over it and want to have their pictures taken sitting in it.

1) 71 Beetle Convertible. Black with tan. I never came back to the car when there was not a crowd around it. Lots and lots of smiling.

2) 91 Saab 900 Convertible. Black on black. Another smile maker.

3) 69 Chevelle wagon with original paint (or lack thereof). I will never ever forget the day when I pulled into quicktrip as the radiator bubbled over. "One of the 20 most attractive people in DC" recognized me then quickly turned on her hot little heels to show her backside. Hah! I wasn't going to share my coolness with you anyway Bidigootch.

Great Pyrenees

EDIT - I see that it is.

I knew a guy from another forum who had one of these, he said creepy things sometimes. Then one day he dropped off the map...turned out he tried to rape a chick and disappeared

So from this thread it looks like the "grassroots" chick magnets are classic Mini, Fiat 600, and classic Beetle convertible.

Kryptonite repels, not attracts correct?

I've seen two references to kryptonite here so far and they seem to be saying something like car+dog=hot chick repellent.

Actual quote "Anything+dog is hot lady kryptonite."

Just wondering...

It means attracts. Kryptonite as in "weakens their defense"

For real. I once had a random group of college girls knock on my door one saturday morning asking if I minded if they take their picture with the DeLorean parked in front of my house. When I said, "Sure. Hell, it's unlocked, get in it if you want.", they freaked the berkeley out.

My Mazda2 actually gets a fair amount of attention of that sort. I guess it gives off a "nothing to compensate for" vibe.
