Thoughts on a car

So I've learned (in different threads) that there are "girl" colors (white iPhones), and "girl" cars (Mitsubishi Eclipse).
Since I'm desperately concerned about my masculinity and am terrified someone might think I'm girlie, or (OMG) gay, I'm going to start keeping a list of "girlie" stuff so I don't make a mistake.
Please keep defining gender specific stuff - I need this information.

Girl car is a Hummer H3:
This is a mans car. The Marauder.

You're awesome.
I think this picture proves otherwise
Yep. Proof enough for me. No girl would put a ridiculous wing like that on a car. That's pure poser dude mentality.
Maybe it's just me, but I don't get the deal with the spoilers/wings on a front wheel drive car. Rear wheel, I understand. You don't want you as-- err...rear end fishtailing and the downward force helps.
They're decent cars and are fairly reliable. But, it's a Mitsubishi, so it's not going to drive great or ride well. It really depends on what you're looking for in a car.

Now that's a man car
Real men eat C4 for breakfast, they don't need to be protected from explosions.
(Okay I'll stop it. But I still prefer my redneck truck, at least it doesn't look like these guys are compensating for their small penises
EDIT: not to say it is the case for the host of Top Gear. I'm rather supposing something on potential buyers.)
Perhaps a ford or gm sedan would be more suitable. JDM parts and Mitsubishi parts in general might come up too high, also, Japanese cars don't care for regular fuel. Just get something cheap, big enough for you, your friends and things. An Eclipse might not be too practical either.
Japanese cars don't care for regular fuel? What do you mean? I have never had an issue with that...
I will say the the 90's eclipses do not have good door handles.....as in they break off.....just so you know lol
Reliable, sporty car? That's an oxymoron.
Believe it or not, the Corvette is rated highly for reliability.
Considerably less sporty, but half as costly and still reliable: Lexus IS.
The Eclipse, not so much ...on reliability.
The only Mitusbishi that gets a high reliability rating is the Outlander.
