"Men with Volvos have longer sex"

This reminds me of a joke I heard way back in High School.

[2banana]

Men with Volvos have longer sex -- 7.3 minutes a session -- than any other driver

Are they kidding me? Takes me longer than that to light the candles...(wink, wink, know what I mean).

[Sociopathocracy]

An hour with Cindy Crawford vs. an hour of winding roads and a 911. No contest. Where are the keys?

German Ping...

Sounds like our German friends need to take more Cialis/Viagra or something.

7.3 minutes is long? Poor fraulines.

It's pretty simple.
A beautiful car involves money and status. It even involves fame. Obviously, from the studies, it involves power too. Money, fame, power and status, the four "scarce resources" for which many humans vie.

Men vie for it differently than women, of course, despite what women's (G)lib says.

Women vie for it by showing others what MAN they can "get." Genitalia-akimbo, who's got the money to pay for the biggest boobs, cutest butt, most perfect face, teeth, nose, etc.
Sad that movie "stars" are considered worth "getting." They are all about make believe. Who cares?!

Men can get sex from women anytime, anywhere with anyone they want. Promiscuity is as ordinary as Bier. Sex and women are no big deal. Cars are. Believe me, with their cars, the men are showing off just as much for OTHER men. It IS about status.

So...this is all academic, innit?
I don't see American men as that different....except for ONE thing: American men are THE BEST.

And so will the Volvo owner. Men with Volvos have longer sex -- 7.3 minutes a session -- than any other driver, especially those Casanovas with Italian cars who clock a mere 4.9 minutes per session.

HUH?! The author haven't seen the average new Volvo of the last 4-5 years. Today's Volvos have far more swoopy body designs and are definitely WAY more performance-oriented than the old-time Volvos so loved by liberals.

How did they figure out the durations? Sit in the bedroom with a stopwatch or something? Eeew.

I'll take my car over a man.

I know where it's been.

It takes me where I want to go.

It never complains.

It's big and safe.

When I am home, it is home.

It never makes me watch Steven Segal or Jean Claude Van Damme movies.

When I want to get a new one, no complaints, no crying, no hurt feelings.

My 72 Cutlass got more action than those pretentious cars. Then again at age 18, I was definitely on the prow most of the time which explains my lack of funds and the necessity of driving an old hotrod.

European statistics appear to heartily support your intended purchase of a BMW. ; )

uip
Back in the 60's and 70's when Porsche's were still 'affordable', each one came with a beautiful blond in the passenger seat, as standard equipment.

>German survey: Men want cars, women want stars

Twice in my dull life
women have offered themselves
to me in exchange

for products. One girl
wanted a high-fashion watch,
the other, a car . . .
