Do You Name Your Car?

Do You Name Your Car? I don't know how this question makes sense unless you're in a Pixar movie... Though I named my car 'Willis' because I think it sounds cool. Anyways, a new survey from DigitalHub found 64% of Americans consider their car to be a 'friend.'

And just like real friendships, we're willing to make sacrifices for it.  Here are some other interesting stats from the survey:

1.  44% of car owners have named their car before.

2.  Over a third of us would rather get a cut or scratch on our body than on our car.

3.  15% of people would rather break a bone than have their car break down.

4.  21% would rather spend a full day in jail than have their car totaled.

5.  13% would rather break up with their significant other than lose their car.

6.  70% of us have at least one fond memory associated with our car.  The top memories include first dates, a first kiss, a proposal, a road trip, bringing a baby home from the hospital and driving around blasting music.

7.  45% of us have CRIED when we had to get a new car. We assume cost has something to do with that one.

8.  The average American spends 8 hours and 22 minutes in their car each week.  Which is 1 hour and 12 minutes a day, or 18 full days a year.
