Size Matters To Hot Car Owners

DRIVERS of hotted-up vehicles prized them more than their partners and believed their cars boosted their sex appeal, an Australian auto survey has found.
The survey, by an Australian car insurance company, found drivers of modified high-performance vehicles often rated them more highly than their girlfriends or boyfriends.
Almost half of the 180 respondents to the Just Car Insurance online survey said their cars were their main interest in life.
Fourteen per cent of respondents said if forced to choose between their car and their partner, they would pick their car.
Many drivers believed driving a hot-looking car boosted their sex appeal, and 44 per cent of those surveyed said they believed people who drove modified cars got more attention from the opposite sex.
