So THAT is why I can bench press more when I drive my Porsche to the gym.

Forwarded to a young woman friend,--and her reply: "I can’t help but read into this article like a woman would…is a Porsche actually replacing skirt?....hummm"

To which I replied,--they're cheaper!

Cars are fun, but women are more fun.

The study was flawed.

They measured increased testosterone by increased hair loss -- which could be due to the speeds that they drove with the top down. They didn't control for the mediating variable of wearing a hat.

True. But a Carrera GT is cheaper.

Actually the title of "Porsches...." is most certainly over generous. I mean seriously, do the test with a Cayenne and see what happens.

No, wait, don't.
