    You Are What You Drive

    A Concordia study has established a direct correlation between men's testosterone levels and the cars they drive. Porches are good. Old Toyotas are bad. Vroooommm.

    My first car in high school was a "Vette"... Not much of a peacock's tail since it was a Chevette.

    Hey, don't you drive an old Toyota?

    p.s. My wife says that there's also the inverse corellation to wee-wee size.
    When applying the Rules, you follow them line by line. You don't read between them.

    Alas, it is a Toyota ... Camry. Does that mean that I am only fit for retirement?

    Wow a study with a sample size of 39 - they have some real statistical significance in that data....

    For my 16th Birthday I got a 1985 Ford Mustang GT convertible all black with custom stripping

    For some reason, that article reminded me of a Two and a Half Men episode where Alan buys a red Boxster, and with good reason, Charlie points out what a chick car it is.

    They should have included a Ford F250 Superduty in the study. Nothing better than being able to drive over the competition.

    Hoolio, that made me laugh. A colleague just bought a "sports car" with the proceeds of his divorce. He shows up in a Saturn Solstice (sp?). I said "I thought you said you bought a sports car - not got your ex's car". He hasn't talked to me in months.

    He has proceeds from a divorce with which to buy a car. I'm impressed - but only a little. After all, it's a Saturn - the now defunct manufacturer.

    I was thinking the same thing.....didn't realize that the Saturn Brand got the axe though

    I'm the first to admit that I was spoiled as a kid - in my defense though, that car didn't go anywhere if I didn't have the money to put gas in it.....do you know how many burgers I needed to flip at McDonalds in order to afford to drive that puppy

    That nugget of info should be given about as much creedence as "Keep doing that, and you'll go blind", or "I'm really not that type of girl, I never do these kind of things".

    Or, "Your cheque's in the mail", or "I'll still love you in the morning."
