Cute girls driving ugly cars

[shant]

I was having a conversation with a female friend of mine over IM and she mentioned that her car is getting old and ugly and now has a big dent in it. I told her it doesn't really matter because guys love cute girls driving ugly cars. She thought I was making stuff up and tricking her, but I was being serious.

I can remember numerous times where I was driving and a cute girl would drive by in an ugly old car and it had dents and a trash bag window and my immediate reaction was "Wow that's hot." I can also remember numerous times where I was riding in cars with guys and they'd say "Cute chick in ugly car check it" and all the dudes in the car would agree that was rad.

Is this just something weird my friends and I are into or do other people do the same thing? What is it about the ugly car that makes the chick more attractive?
