Cars and sex go hand-in-tire for many German men
Performance on the road often outweighs time between the sheets
By JEFFREY FLEISHMAN
Los Angeles Times


BERLIN - Women like men, and men like cars.

"Hmm, it says here that women think George Clooney has more sex appeal than a Ferrari. Maybe that's because women don't know how to drive a Ferrari," said Torsten Kadletz, a used-car dealer unafraid of feminists. He was studying a recent German magazine survey that asked men and women how they'd rather spend a weekend: with a fuel-injected sports car or an air-brushed celebrity.

"The Lamborghini versus Britney Spears," Kadletz said. "The Lamborghini is an interesting car and Britney is way too young. What's a 50-year-old man going to do with Britney Spears for two days? Pamela Anderson against the Ferrari? The Ferrari wins. Anderson's past her prime."


Cars and lust

Few things are more invigorating to the German man than a clear windshield, a palm on the gearshift and miles of open autobahn. In 12 pages of statistics peppered with pictures of half-dressed women draped over expensive upholstery, Men's Car magazine sought to find out where cars and lust intersect. The survey of 2,253 German men and women ages 20 to 50 gauged preference and performance, both on the road and in the bedroom.

Such a study is more than a bit of marketing whimsy in a land where cars are an enduring national pride. The sleek designs and meticulous mechanics of the German-made Mercedes, BMW and Audi have for generations been among the country's finer exports. Cars are studied and polished, engine pings and fan belt squeaks are not tolerated, and Sunday afternoon in the fast lane

Just FYI - if the hoods are aluminum, sex ON the car is NOT an option.

Edit: But how come?
The hood will dent, even if you just push on it a leetle too hard, not to mention procreating on the hood.

That's why it best to let it drop to close it, instead of lowering it in place and pushing down on it.

And yes, the hood is aluminium...
