The advantages of owning a car are numerous, but most fall under the category of freedom. Having your car lets you go where you want when you want. And when it comes to dates, with whom you want.
So we’ll look into the good sides of car dates, list some date ideas for car owners, and of course suggest a good car for each idea. Keep in mind that those suggestions are there for fun. Most cars are suitable for most dates.
Yet, of course, there are no double dates in supercars. Still, those with supercars in their garages probably have dates in mansions, not on drive-in movie nights. To each their own.
Comfort and Availability of Car Dates
While a ride with someone you see for the first time might not be the ideal date idea, having a second date in a car isn’t a big deal. Many people prefer to sit in their vehicles compared to a random bar. The reasons are obvious:
- Privacy - Couples can talk and hear each other during car dates; try that in an average bar
- Mobility - Some couples spend their entire dates cruising around, and some go to their favorite places, but car owners don’t have to settle when it comes to date locations
- You get to choose music - True, a couple can choose a bar with good music, but can that compare to your favorite, proven date playlist? Are you shaking your head? We thought so.
But without a person to sit on the passenger seat there’s no date.
Finding a Partner if You Are Single
Dating is all about finding people with the right set of interests at the right moment. Car owners and car enthusiasts go hand in hand. So those who prefer their dates to happen on the wheels and want casual dates should join a site where it’s possible to hookup now and mention cars in their profile descriptions. From there, it’s all about using the filters to pinpoint ideal matches and chatting with them until both sides are ready to meet in person. Live video call is a common feature nowadays, and it lets people see each other virtually before meeting in person, which boosts the overall safety of online dating.
Yet, it’s still common sense to have the first date somewhere in a public place where your date can admire your car from the outside. Dating might be about finding the right people at the right moments but also about trust and safety.
Some Ideas to Consider
Not every car date has to happen in a car. So, let's cover the most appealing ideas.
Car-themed trivia Games or Quizzes
It doesn’t mean that a date in a bar can’t be about cars. Of course, that’s only for the hard-core enthusiasts. To help you with the organization, here are some question suggestions. Can you answer them all?
- Which car model was named after a type of wind?
- What was the first mass-produced car with a fiberglass body?
- What is the most common car color worldwide?
Drive-In Movie Night
Drive-in movie night is Netflix and Chill with style. Bigger cars with enough room in the back seat are more suitable for such dates, but as long as a couple is open-minded, even a Porsche 911 is better than any seat in a regular cinema.
Depending on the couple's location, the choice of movies might be limited, but there’s an easy way around. A phone and some snacks and any place becomes a private cinema.
The ideal car for a movie night date is the VW Microbus.
Scenic Drive Adventure
Just driving around is an underrated date idea, especially if you have a good car and there is some stunning scenery in your area. Ideally, this date starts before sunset, so couples can watch the Sun fall from a place only car enthusiasts know. And we all know that car people always discover the best spots.
But even without stopping to admire nature, cruising with a partner is a great date idea because it lets people chat and bond. The cruise becomes even more special in an iconic Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. It almost becomes an instant adventure.
Sunset and Stargazing
We mentioned that gazing at the sky is a common couple's activity, and it's possible even in cars students can afford. Other than a car and a spot without too much light pollution, there’s nothing else needed to enjoy this free date idea.
The ideal car for such dates is the Tesla Model S with a panoramic roof. But again, stargazing is free, so it can be enjoyed even in Yugo 45.
Remember, dating is more about the person on the passenger seat than the passenger seat.
