So to save you from this fate, here are the worst cars for a first date that you should definitely avoid at all costs – trust us, these are a bad idea\u2026Super TrucksStarting with the giants of the road we have the \u2018Super Trucks\u2019 and although you might consider bigger to be better, take a moment to stand back and just think.Picture the scene, you roll up at your Valentine\u2019s home and you go to help them into their seat – reaching up and clambering through the passenger door is an ordeal in itself that is bound to get the date off to a frosty start.Then, when you do arrive at the restaurant, where exactly do you park such a beast? Lastly, your truck is sure to be the center of attention due to its sheer size so you\u2019ll have to fight your way through a forest of selfie sticks and that\u2019s sure to make your Valentine feel really special\u2026This particular vehicle is a custom built 2005 Ford F650 that\u2019s blacked out with a set of military axles and massive 49\u201d tyres.Three-WheelersAt the other end of the scale we have the good old three-wheeler, known for being cool and popular, that\u2019s why there are so many new models in production nowadays, right? No, these are pretty much a thing of the past and with good reason!The Bond Bug is a glass fiber 700cc car with a not so impressive 0-60 time of 23 seconds, but hey, at least it *feels* fast.So, you\u2019ve been lucky enough to find someone who isn\u2019t deterred by the frankly alarming shade of orange and you have both managed to maneuver your way into the wedge via the hinged roof. That\u2019s a great start, let\u2019s just hope there are no sharp turns to negotiate and if it rains, the plastic windows won\u2019t provide much protection from the elements. Add to that the noisy ride while you shout sweet nothings at each other and you\u2019ve got a recipe for the world\u2019s least romantic Valentines Day drive!"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Blog","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/blog\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Worst cars to pick up a Valentine in","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/blog\/worst-cars-pick-valentine\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
