men prefer a flashy car over a sexy lady
HAMBURG - Most men in Germany would rather spend a weekend with a flashy car than with a sexy female celebrity, according to a new survey released Monday.

Given the choice between having their hands on a Ferrari Enzo or on Pamela Anderson, 86 percent of German males in the survey chose the car, said the survey for Men's Car magazine.

And only 25 per cent of respondents chose Britney Spears over a Lamborghini Gallardo.

Kylie Minogue, however, scraped by with 53 percent when put up against a Porsche Carrera GT, the survey showed.

1. It's easy to see why
You can choose one woman or a car that will help you get many women. :evilgrin:

2. I thought you were going to discuss
the choices in women. I don't find either Anderson or Spears appealing and I don't know the other one. With those choices, I'd take the car too.

3. Cars have never made me want to date the man.
The man makes me want to ride in his car. 70's boat or brand new sports car. ;)

5. i know
I was just joking about the stereotype. You'd probably just get a gold diggin ***** if she went for just your car.

8. Yes, that you would. Which is why I think the government should
give all sanitation engineers (i.e. garbagemen) and also hamburger flippers really nice cars. Wouldn't that be fun?? ;)

6. My car has singularly failed to get me any women...
so I think I'd go for a nice, young lady.

Any offers?

:shrug:

Oh well.

10. The survey was done for a car magazine
It may not be an unbiased survey.

Personally, I'd spend the weekend with the woman.

12. I suspect
...it's easier to control a flashy car than a sexy lady.

But what do I know? I'm a perpetually single gay man.

15. Pamela Anderson? Britney Spears?
Maybe a woman who is actually attractive, then I might have something to think about.

17. No wonder the women
surveyed chose the males - I wouldn't take a Bentley if my other option was a weekend with Bush! Besides, there are only so many Enzos in the world (<slaver ... slaver> I would love just a five-minute drive in one!) but anyone with a few hundred bucks can get a "date" with someone who looks like Pamela Anderson...

German women, in contrast, nearly always opted for a weekend with a hot male celebrity over a car. A whopping 75 percent said that, given a choice between two classy Brits, they would choose songster Robbie Williams over a Bentley.

Who the hell is Robbie Williams, anyway?
