Clean your damn carFollow

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.

Women felt more strongly about their date's car condition than men with 69 percent saying it would at least somewhat effect their attraction to their date compared to 47 percent of men.

About 20 percent of respondents said they had been "asked to chip in for car-related expenses by their date." Of those that had been asked to chip in, 15 percent said they were asked to spring for gas followed by parking (9 percent) and tolls (6 percent).

Don't forget the NOS sticker.

Sometime ago listening to a Dane Cook CD, he made a joke about the two things in life that a man would take over sex.

1. Every man wants to be a part of a heist.
2. Every man wants a monkey.

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.

I'm one of those women with the junky cars. I clean it maybe once every two years, and people that comment on the condition of it can do so just as well from the sidewalk, while they gag on my exhaust fumes.

You sound like a lovely man.
