Dirty cars don’t get<br />
you a second date<br />
And, in case you need another marketing<br />
tool, how about the fact that a dirty<br />
car is a major turnoff during the early<br />
stages of a relationship.<br />
According to an April Fox News report,<br />
when it comes to relationships, seven<br />
in 10 believe having a dirty car is a turnoff,<br />
according to new research.<br />
A poll of 2,000 American drivers discovered<br />
that 51 percent would go so far<br />
as to end a first date early if their date<br />
showed up in a dirty car, the story said.<br />
“In fact, having a messy car is such<br />
a massive turn-off that 23 percent have<br />
even ended a relationship with someone<br />
because of their filthy vehicle.”<br />
The study, conducted by OnePoll in<br />
conjunction with Meguiar’s, also found<br />
that 68% of those with messy cars are<br />
completely embarrassed to have people in<br />
their car, given its filth.<br />
Interestingly, 45% said containing the<br />
mess in their cars is overwhelming.<br />
HERE ARE SOME OF<br />
THE OTHER FINDINGS:<br />
• 24% said they avoid cleaning<br />
their cars because they know it’ll<br />
just get messy again<br />
shortly thereafter.<br />
• 41% don’t think it’s all that<br />
important to have a tidy car<br />
while a further one in five don’t<br />
even know where to begin when<br />
it comes to cleaning their cars.<br />
• 24% said they would much<br />
rather clean their toilet than<br />
have to tidy up their car.<br />
• 62% of those surveyed<br />
would rather have a dirty car<br />
than a dirty home.<br />
• 28% said they have empty<br />
bottles taking up way too<br />
much space in their cars.<br />
• 78% said a clean car makes<br />
them feel like they have their<br />
life more together.<br />
When asked about the junk found in<br />
people’s cars, three in 10 revealed their<br />
cars are filled with crumbs while a further<br />
and three in five respondents said their<br />
cars are filled with stuff they need to pursue<br />
their passions.<br />
A majority of Americans believe their<br />
entire life would be better off if they had<br />
tidier vehicles, the story stated.<br />
