April 2, 2004 - 4:45PM Drivers of hotted-up vehicles prized them more than their partners and believed their cars boosted their sex appeal, an Australian auto survey has found. The survey, by an Australian car insurance company conducted via its website, found drivers of modified high-performance vehicles often rated them more highly than their girlfriends or boyfriends. Almost half of the 180 respondents to the Just Car Insurance online survey said their cars were their main interest in life. Fourteen per cent of respondents said if forced to choose between their car and their partner, they would pick their car. Many drivers believed driving a hot-looking car boosted their sex appeal, and 44 per cent of those surveyed said they believed people who drove modified cars got more attention from the opposite sex. Mal Davies, who is publicity officer for the Monaro Club of Victoria, said he had hoped his 1971 modified Monaro Coupe would boost his sex appeal. But he said the car tended to attract attention from men rather than women. "I doubt it really helps," he said. "I'm still single."Victorian Ford Rallye Sport Owners Club president Derek Wickett said for some men it would be a "close run thing between the car and the girlfriend". "There are guys who build them for the looks and the attention they attract," he said. But Mr Wickett, who is married, said he drove his modified Ford Sierra RS Cosworth because it was unique and not to boost his sex appeal. Just Car Insurance national manager Andrew O'Hara said he was not surprised by the survey results, posted by drivers of V8 and Japanese imports modified with body kits and expensive stereo systems. "They are just so passionate and obsessive about their cars - it's just amazing," Mr O'Hara said.
