Cars are useful when you want to get your stuff together after a long day at the office. Driving random in the middle of the night just to listen to your favorite Bob Dylan DVD is another way to it. Your ride can both keep you shelter on a rainy day and offer excitement when you feel like burning rubber. But what if it could also be helpful in your relationship?
If we were to trust this study an online auto retailer has conducted, then solving some of the problems you have with your beloved one may actually be possible with a simple road trip. Well, simple or not, it’s up to you, but such a journey should be a long one, apparently.

In the age of always-on phones, TVs and computers, the online car buyer found that the car is one of the last remaining places where couples get the opportunity to discuss their relationship. It’s where they tell each other jokes, talk about friends and family members and decide on big plans for the future.

There you go, us, petrolheads, we always said that cars are important if you want a happy life.

3,000 motorists who regularly travelled with another person were asked, and over 62% of both men and women said it gave them a chance to “discuss their relationship”. What’s even more appealing to carmakers is that 92% of couples discuss big plans for their next holiday, plans for the house or joint purchases like which car they should buy. In other words, if you want people to buy a car, make sure they often go on a road trip together.

Wait, there’s more. You know how people sometimes have the tendency to sing while they’re on a long trip? Well, according to this research, 82% of women are likely to sing at some point on a long car journey, 15% higher than men. Moreover, 85% of men tell jokes, 5% more than women. Feel free to see the entire research below if you want to get a better view on it.
