I found this article on CNN.com today. The car you drive says a lot about you.
NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Men and women agree that cars play an important role in dating, but they don’t always agree on what should happen once things get rolling.
Eighty-nine percent of males and 95 percent of females said they were extremely or somewhat likely to notice their date’s car, according to a survey conducted by Ford Motor Co. The survey was conducted as part of a program, including “speed dating” events in various cities, to promote the company’s new Fusion sedan. The survey polled 400 single men and women.
It’s not just the make and model of a car that’s getting noticed, according to the survey. Fifty-eight percent of those surveyed said the condition of their date’s car would at least somewhat impact their attraction to the person.
This explains everything! That’s why I wasn’t too popular when I was in high school. It was the 1982 Dodge Colt holding me back (or maybe it was my intense peach fuzz, or my Coke-bottle glasses). If Napolean Dynamite had a car, he’d have one of these.
Then during my senior year, I got behind the wheel of a 1978 Porsche 924. My social life has changed ever since.
Don’t concern yourself with the fact that it only put out 115HP. It’s a Porsche. Keep saying that to yourself. It’s a Porsche.
