Driving fast cars increases testosterone level in men, according to a new study. They tested the effect of driving a sports car, and also the effect of being around women, and the combination of effects.
The most unintentionally hilarious line: “Interestingly, whether there were ladies present or not, the mens’ testosterone didn’t increase at all after driving the Camry.” Yeah, that’s, um, “interesting,” if by “interesting” you mean “crashingly obvious.”
But I’m definitely going to have to think twice the next time I start to describe my supercharged Miata as “spunky.”
Update: I should have guessed Jalopnik would offer its take as well.
