As for my two cents I recently started dating a girl I've known for about 8 years. She isn't super knowledgeable about cars but she asks questions and seems to grasp what I'm saying pretty well.
She came with me to the Skyline meet on the 10th and I was pleasantly surprised with how much she enjoyed it. She had no problems operating my camera and after a couple 2nd and 3rd gear pulls to pass slow moving cars she told me my car pulled pretty hard lol
She wants to come out to Chic on Friday and Skyline again on Sunday.

Hey Rob! She sounds promising 
I've also had a date with a die hard mustang guy. It was a HORRIBLE date. He kept talking about how import cars suck
Than he asked what I drove. The look on his face was priceless haha

Me, "Yeah, when I call just peep outside the window and you'll spot a brown 1980 hoooptie."
Her, "haha.. What's that?"
Me, "It's a hand-me-down car from my grandpa back in the days. It's a bit rusted up and I haven't had the money to patch up the holes so if we drive over a puddle your feet might get splashed w/ water... I also gotta warn you though that the passenger side door is kinda F'd up so you're gonna hafta climb through the window... is that cool?"
Her, "That's awesome! Just like in the movies?!?"
Man, she was a total sport about it
However, they do say that you can tell a lot about a man's personality by what he drives and how he drives. But for girls, I always check how she organizes her purse/wallet and what type of shoes she wears - that tells a whole crap load about a chick.

Girls no longer have to rely on a rich guy to "take care of them" since they hold many high up positions in government and industry with good salaries as well.
So, hopefully the "job question" just ensures that your date will have his own income so that you can split the bills during dates.

Are you expecting that they have a certain job in particular or just that they are employed with a steady income (no matter how much or how little)?

If anything, I'd ask what kind of 401K they have and what percentage of their income goes to savings.
A fancy car doesn't help raise a family.

To the OP: I'm fortunate enough to have a fiance that is understanding and realizes that my hobby is very important to me. She "allows" me to have my time away from her as these things are a very important part to any healthy relationship. Personal time is personal time no matter what you are doing with it. Some of these women should undestand this and grab ahold of their insecurities. :P

I usually have to do trades. Like if I want to go to somewhere for a car thing, we have to go on a picnic or wine tasting or something. Its all about balance.

It's true, on the first date it's 100% personality. A woman will fall in love with a man for who he is regardless if he's income'less/car'less. But the question lies: What is the driving factor for her STAYING with him.
Therefore, I can understand women who raise the question of what job a man has (not so sure about the car question) I don't believe they actually care what he's doing or if he's making money, I believe they care more about the fact that he's doing something w/ his life/has some goals/has a future and/or career, aka potential father figure/provider for her off-spring.
I've talked to some of the most shallow women in the universe, and believe it or not - they don't want a millionaire. In fact, a guy who makes a lot of money is not even part of the equation, it's sort of an urban legend and is more glamorized by television. Therefore we watch all these tall-tale stories of "gold diggers" and how she only went after him for his money - but in the real world the chances of you meeting such is probably 1/1000.
Let's face it, if you're a guy or a girl - you're gonna want your significant other to have a freakin' job. No one wants a loser - nor a dumbass. If he/she doesn't have a job that just means they're LAZY! So when a woman asks what your occupation is, it's not necessarily a shallow question; she's more so checking if you're going anywhere in life other than inside her pants.
