Testosterone

Here’s another cliché pitched into the barriers. It’s not men’s level of testosterone that pushes them to want a sports car – it’s the other way around: driving a sports car increases the secretion of these male hormones. Concordia University in Montreal has published its research results and, depending on the type of car driven, either a normal car or a convertible sports car, the same men produced highly differing levels of testosterone. Knowing the anti-aging and anti-cancer virtues of this hormone, it’s time to forswear these clichés and to campaign for the bearing of costs by the national health insurance of the road tax disk of Porsches, Lamborghinis, Ferraris and other sundry youth therapies.
