Well Duhhh..Study Indicates Porsche Drivers Produce More Testosterone Than Camry Drivers
Testosterone is what drives men's desire to own fast cars, according to a study published in the journal Organizational Behaviour and Human Decision Processes.

Researchers at Concordia University's John Molson School of Business in Montreal took 39 willing young men and let them take a cruise in a $150,000 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet.

The men were then asked to drive a 16-year-old Toyota Camry.

Wow, they actually needs a test to prove that.

Seriously???....they actually needed scientific evidence of this! Who paid for this study?!?

"Saad said it is unlikely the car would have any long-term impact on a man's libidinal drive."

hrmmm... excessive external stimulation of testosterones production (in this case driving a porsche a couple hours a week) is likely to cause similar symptoms of anabolic steroid induced hypogonadism via over-stimulation of androgen receptions leading to negative feedback of the production of gonadotropins.

in layman terms, your testes would shrink much like an athlete who inject themselves chronically with anabolic steroids.

of course in a scientific paper, they would release all the data so that one can determine if the data follows a normal distribution so that a two-sample t-test can be applied to test the null hypothesis whether there is no difference between one driving a porsche and one driving a camry.

i mean, nowadays, they'd do and say anything to prove something provocative.

then, we can then determine the testosterone concentration increase to determine whether there is averse effects on our natural testosterone producing organs. only then can we assume a link between over-production of testosterone with hypogonadism.

The Camry had heated seats, the Porsche did not.

They produce more testosterone cuzz they're still mad that Nissans Zilla still kicked their butt.

Is the punch line, cause it's something every man wants?

someone tell me this is a joke. they didn't really waste time and money to figure this out, right? i've never driven either and could've told anyone that.

btw, they could've used a brand new Camry and got the same results.
