Female drivers rate themselves as poor, and most men agree. What's up with this, ladies?
And now, the battle of the sexes, driving edition, shall commence.
Ladies, why are you so down on yourselves? The reason we ask: Ford Motors recently released a Harris Poll on parallel parking, and the results were grim. The funny thing is, sure, we can all make assumptions about the the sexes when it comes to driving. But specifically parallel parking? Don't we all hate it? Apparantly not. Here, the details:
- 43 percent of female drivers rated their parallel parking skills as fair to poor; 21 percent of male drivers rated their skills the same.
Driving a sports car can boost a guy's testosterone.
There is a belief that men who are really into their cars (be it slick, phallic sportsters or knobby-tired, pick 'em up trucks) have something to compensate for. Generally, that shortcoming is said to occur somewhere in the crotchal zone. Read: 3 Ways To "Size" A Man Up
But Asylum is throwing another wrinkle into this age-old conundrum. Per Asylum, a study of male college students showed a bump in testosterone from driving a Porsche (pronounced por-shuh only if you own one) versus a Toyota Camry.
While there is not necessarily a direct link between package proportions and … Read More
Can you guess a man's size before he takes off his pants?
OK kids, first things first. Size does not matter to every woman. Plenty of women are satisfied good and plenty and even preferably with some skillful fingers and well-played tongues and a good battery-operated assistant. That being said, it does matter to some women and it certainly seems to matter to lots of guys who want to know if they measure up or not (as our many other articles on the topic might indicate). Wait. Size Matters, After All?
But how can a woman (or man) tell if a man will measure up (before the clothes are off, that … Read More

Going fast and going all the way at the same time.
Ever since the invention of the automobile, cars and sex (and its more PG versions) have been intertwined. Who doesn't remember the movie Grease with all its vehicular sexual shenanigans in the back of Chevrolets while parked at the Drive-In, depicting a time more seemingly pure but just as risqué. Even Kate and Leo's sex scene in Titanic takes place in a car (on a boat).
In our own lives (and our own rides), we have all impersonated these scenes. In high school, if a room or bed couldn't be found, a car was often readily available. As we … Read More
A Wisconsin couple fell 150 feet after failing to set the parking brake.
Let this be a lesson to anyone fornicating in a beautiful locale: be aware of your surroundings. A sex-loving couple in Wisconsin neglected to set their parking brake and the motion of the ocean sent their car to a 150-foot fall per the local CBS affiliate. They survived with bruises and broken bones.
We sure hope he got out in time, otherwise trauma. What's the lesson? Always use protection even if that protection is just engaging your emergency brake. Remember this little rhyme: if this car's a-rockin' the parkin' brake is probably not a-lockin,' so you may not … Read More
Filling up the gas tank may get you laid!
In one of many interviews for the movie 27 Dresses, James Marsden mentioned that the notion of romance has changed for he and his wife of seven years. He said that it's now all about being thoughtful, adding that his wife viewed something as simple as filling the car with gas for her as the ultimate romantic gesture. Funny how the definition morphs over the years, isn’t it?
I asked around here at Tango, and my officemates were in agreement. One staffer told me about an ex that, when she had given up on fixing her computer, secretly … Read More
