But, the real question is why?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Well, as a man I think I can offer an insight. The truth is there are many reasons; it really is a personal thing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For me, my car equals \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcfreedom\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. Passing that <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.booktheorytesttoday.com\/book\/skip\"><strong>theory test<\/strong><\/a> and practical exam all those years ago was worth it. I grew up watching Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond &amp; James May, parading around in super cars on Top Gear, doing pointless road tests, longing for that kind of freedom. Now I have it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Speaking on behalf of men in general, our motor is part of us. Some argue that this makes us men more relaxed drivers. In some ways I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m inclined to agree, particularly when I think about the way I drive and how my wife drives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In fact, so true is the notion that men see their motor as part of them; a whole study was conducted to prove it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Iain MacRury &amp; Peter Marsh of the University of East London authored the study, \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcThe Secret Life of Cars and What They Reveal About Us\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, identifying an actual relationship between vehicles and their owners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This study actually reveals that \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcmotor love\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 extends beyond men and affects women too.

However, they do stop short of sending their car a Valentine\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Day card.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m attached to my car because it gives me my \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcme-time\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. When I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m driving alone there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a peace and tranquillity that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s difficult to explain, but I know it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s there. My car is my retreat. However, I do only get to drive it on weekends.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Valentine\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Day<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Book Theory Test Today says: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Ladies, if you want your fella to engage in conversation this Valentine\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Day just discuss the topic of cars.

So, while a woman\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s attachment will stop after naming a car, gents will go as far as cleaning their vehicle and adding various gadgets. However, the dressing of cars is becoming more common among women.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Just last week I had to check twice to ensure that what I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d just seen was not an oversized ladybird with freakily long eyelashes.
