Ah, the Brits. Despite their “oh-so-proper” attitude, their gents gave us Benny Hill and FHM.
So we’re not totally surprised that Men and Motors reported a survey asking men if they preferred driving their cars versus spending “quality” time with their significant others.
According to Discovery Turbo, over 95 percent of those surveyed viewed driving a car as a means of expressing their freedom. (Apparently there’s some truth to that saying about “ball and chain”.) Because of such feelings, 55 percent acknowledged they’d rather be racing a supercar on a fast track than be with their lovers. Also, 44 percent said they’d skip dinner with their girlfriend while 80 percent love to drive to work because it gave them a chance to get away from her nagging.
(Note that all the stated percentages fell if said girlfriend was Jennifer Aniston.)
Our take? We’re not showing this posting to our female co-workers, girlfriends, and wives.
Hmm… Between a hot car and a hot wife, I’d choose the latter. *wife pats me on the back* Ha ha.
A car is a jealous mistress. It takes up a lot of your time.

Rule #1: Never talk about this survey.
esanchez,
because most folks–especially women–believe otherwise
And what exactly is so news-worthy about this? I’d say most men have known this for quite a while. Whether or not they admit it is another thing.
