Canadians looking to impress on their next romantic date might want to stay clear of on-demand car services, taxis or even public transit, according to the findings of a recent autoTRADER.ca survey that explores the role of the automobile in modern-day dating. In fact, a whopping 92 percent of Canadians say they find it appealing when their date shows up with their own ride. And don't even think about "borrowing the car" for the occasion – close to half of the population surveyed (48 percent) reported that they would find a borrowed vehicle unattractive or "embarrassing beyond words."
While it is unsurprising a publication called Autotrader would find car ownership is necessary for romance, do the study's claims track? Do today's humans really prefer being picked up for a date by someone who owns a car? Is being picked up on a motorcycle really the least attractive?

Only two ways it isn't needed:
a. You are still in school.
b. You live and work within 0.3 mile (half kilometer) of a subway that runs every 10 minutes or better.
Either way, you also need evidence that you are the sort of stable credit-worthy person who can get a car in the future.

Why shouldn't the woman get her own damn car?

Oh, she will alright. '
But... the point is not who owns the car, but who pays for it.
