Should I buy a new car to impress girls?

I already have a car "Ford Escort 1.8" of 1993. So, it is too old.
So, if you confirm that this will not impress you then I will buy a new car which will be more attractive and can impress girls.
But, it is better if I don't have to buy a new one so posting this question.
Even buying a new one is fine for me but if I don't it will save some of my money.
At last I want good response.
I know that girls don't care much about car. But when any girl see me she should have impression of me as a well settled guy (I mean they should think of me as enough rich)
And moreover they should want to sit in my Car.

This is pic of model what I have currently.

Tell me will it impress you or should I go for a new one?

A 2002 ford escort and the timing belt has NOT been replaced?

I'm looking at buying a 2002 Ford Escort, with almost 64,000 miles. The only issue is that the timing belt has not been replaced.

1) Is this an issue that needs to be taken care of soon, or not?

*The person selling it said that the car runs and drives fine with no issues*

2) How much would it cost to replace it?

*I know timing belts need to be replaced every 60,000 - 80,000 miles, so I'm not sure how much it would cost.

Please if you have any advice at all, leave a comment. I'm supposed to be buying this car today and I know nothing about cars, so I need a lot of help.

In search of 1997 Ford escort parts?

I'm searching for a 1997 Ford Escort Lx wagon 2.0 DOHC front drivers side steering knuckle. I can't find this piece anywhere. I don't know if there's another name for it or something, but I can't find it. I'd like a link to a page with a picture and description if possible.

If I can avoid replacing this tell me. I'm trying to replace my bearing and can't get the axle nut off. I've tried it all, breaker bar, breaker bar extensions, impact wrench, heat, cutting, so on. It won't come off. And the knuckle has suffered from damage from the bad bearing, from the rim. So my plan is to replace everything basically. Remove it from the tie rod, ball joint/control arm, and the strut. Then I'll just pull the whole axle out, with the knuckle, bearing, hub assembly. This is not what I wanted to do at all but I'm running out of options. If you have a tip of substance for my issue, advice is greatly appreciated. I've found every replacement part except the knuckle.

2001 ford escort stalling? - 1

My girlfriend has a 2001 ford escort 2.0 and it runs fairly well for being an older model and the item's that were replaced on this car were the oil/oil filter/air filter/pcv valve/fuel filter/factory gas cap and the hoses but the problem we have is that this was doing this before we replaced everything and it's still happening and that is the car runs normal but on day's that it's really hot in Ft Lauderdale the car runs and every once in a while it will start to choke and stall or (like it can't breath) when you give it the gas but if you turn the engine off and start it right back up it stops doing it but then few miles later it will do it again… CAN ANYONE Please Help WITH ANY IDEAS Thanks

Why won't my car ford zx2 start after battery disconnected?

So I was trying to install an amp late last night, drilled through my firewall for the power cable, disconnected my negative battery terminal, disconnected the positive, accidentally cause a spark. Hooked up amp cable reconnected positive, then negative. When I get in my car, the radio, the lights, the air everything works fine, except the car won't turn over, it will crank strong but no turn over, I tried jumping it, no good, I took it all apart, removed the amp and power/ground cables, still same issue, I'm assuming the spark didn't short my battery because all the electric is still going strong (I may be wrong) I was thinking maybe a bad starter? But it worked fine before the battery terminals were disconnected and reconnected? Bad fuse? Something to do with the fuel injector? Any advice and where/how to start looking would be much appreciated, thanks.

Update: It's a 98 ford escort zx2 sport auto transmission 4 cylinder, it was working fine until I disconnected the battery, after reconnection, it cranks strong but it just won't start. I touched nothing other than the battery, please send help.
