It\u2019s not that all male owners keep their cars spotless, but it does seem that many men who buy luxury cars tend to take good care of them\u2014repairing scratches promptly and washing their cars frequently to keep them in pristine condition.<\/p>\n

Common Traits of Cars Owned by Women<\/h3>\n
According to that dealership employee, some typical characteristics of cars driven by career women<\/strong> include the following:<\/p>\n Hazard buttons and those on the center console often have their markings worn off. Since many women grow their nails long, they tend to press buttons with their nails,<\/strong> which likely causes the markings to wear away more quickly.<\/p>\n I also usually keep my nails quite long, and when I type on my computer, I often press the keys with my nails. So I often notice the letters on my keyboard keys fading away.<\/p>\n There are often many scratches from rubbing or bumping the car body,<\/strong> and sometimes these cars are brought in for sale without any repairs. When I started driving again after over ten years as a non-driver, I frequently bumped or scraped my car myself.<\/p>\n When this happens repeatedly, I guess it\u2019s easy to think, “Since I\u2019ll probably scratch it again anyway, maybe it\u2019s fine as it is.<\/strong>”<\/p>\n It\u2019s also common for cars owned by women to have the scent of perfume deeply ingrained inside.<\/strong> Plus, since they often touch the steering wheel and interior with hands that have foundation or makeup on them, the interior can get greasy or dirty. My husband sometimes says to me,<\/p>\n \u201cAfter Mina-chan drives, it feels like there\u2019s foundation on the door handle, and the steering wheel gets sticky. Do you wash your hands after putting on makeup?\u201d<\/p>\n Since then, I\u2019ve made an effort to wash my hands, but thinking about this, it might be that interiors of cars owned by men tend to stay cleaner.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also common to see scuff marks on the door sill caused by high heels.<\/strong> The dealership employee joked, \u201cI wonder if they were in such a hurry that they hit the door sill with their heels\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n Indeed, when wearing high heels, you have to be much more conscious about lifting your feet higher than when wearing sneakers or flat shoes to avoid hitting the sill. Maybe they thought they lifted their feet enough, but the heel still caught on the sill.<\/p>\n Still, since these marks mean the heel hit the car with some force, it does feel like there\u2019s a bit of a lack of care for the car.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t think all working women\u2019s cars are like this, and there are definitely women who love their cars and keep them clean with regular washes and care.<\/strong><\/p>\n The BMW 320i coming to our home soon will be my first beloved car, and since I\u2019ll be driving it the most, I want to take good care of it so it doesn\u2019t end up being \u201cone of those dirty cars owned by women.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Owners of Luxury Imported Cars The other day, I heard an interesting story from someone working at a luxury imported car dealership. “It might be a stereotype, but cars previously owned by career women often aren\u2019t in the best condition when they come in for sale.” It\u2019s not that all male owners keep their cars spotless, but it does seem that many men who buy luxury cars tend to take good care of them\u2014repairing scratches...","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":10961,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_locale":"en_US","_original_post":"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/?p=10876"},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"Worn-Off Buttons<\/h4>\n
