More Than Half Of Americans Talk To Their Cars [POLL]
Yesterday, my 16 year old car decided it was a little too early and cold to start on the first few attempts - so I found myself trying to coax my car into starting. We didn't have a conversation, all I said was "C'mon! Start!" and it did. Its nice to know my car listens better than my kids :)
According to a new survey, three out of five Americans admit they TALK to their cars. The most common thing to do is thank your car for a job well done . . . but people also verbally encourage their cars, apologize to their cars, sweet talk and RUB their cars . . . and even try to bribe their cars with promises of premium gas or car washes.
