This just in from Detroit, the car capital of the U.S. (via UPI, Nov. 13) -- "Eighty-nine percent of men and 95 percent of women said they were extremely or somewhat likely to notice their date's car, a U.S. survey of 400 single men and women, conducted by the Ford Motor Company.
"Singles said it's not just the make and model of a car that's noticed; 58 percent said the condition of their date's car would have an impact on their attraction to the person. Sixty-nine percent of the women said the condition of their date's vehicle would at least somewhat affect their attraction to their date compared to 47 percent of men." And I'd say that the following results would affect a dating relationship too -- "About 20 percent of respondents said they had been 'asked to chip in for car-related expenses by their date' -- 15 percent said they were asked to contribute for gas followed by 9 percent for parking and 6 percent for tolls. "Twenty-two percent said their 'most embarrassing car date moment,' was being told by their date that they were a bad driver." Or that they were cheap.
