5 Ways To Ruin A Date With Your Car

• Road Rage – You might be taking a sweet cruise with the top down on Venice Blvd and in a twist of fate, some guy driving a Mini Cooper Cooper cuts you off. Don’t think getting out and having some friendly words with the driver only to realize he’s twice your size. Be smart, don’t start!
  
  


• Dirty Car – You don’t stand a chance of exploring proclivities, assorted fluids and breakfast with her if the dirtiness is literal and involves your car. It doesn’t mean you need it professionally detailed before every date, but at least give it good once-over outside and in. Don’t forget to hide the protein bars laying around in your car. That’s just tacky.
  
  


• Your Car Is Too Clean – Yes! There is a fine line between OCD clean and a debris free car. But overdoing it is also one of the ways to ruin a date with your car. It’s when your leather seats are like a Slip ‘n Slide. A car that’s too clean might also be an indication that you’re a perfectionist and complete OCD freak.
  
  


• Refusing To Pay For Parking – Driving around half the night looking for metered parking or buying condoms from a club bathroom is borderline crossing the line into “I’m frugal zone.” If you want to get past the first stop for the evening take this advice, VALET!!!
  
  


• Changing A Tire With A Phone – Got a flat? Figure it out. Using Google or calling roadside assistance for help drops your “man card” below an acceptable level. Show her you can handle simple tasks even if it means getting a little dirty.
