in #CASE you missed it… Americans Seek Refuge In Their Cars
73% of Americans use their car to get away from the people they live with
A lot of Americans were stuck in the house with their family for months, with few chances to escape. But it turns out a lot of people did find at least one place to have some alone time – their cars.
A new poll by TrueCar finds:
73% of Americans use their car to get away from the people they live with.
Most Americans are grateful for their cars for lots of reasons, using them for things like:
Leisurely drives (56%)
Road trips (45%)
Getting quiet time for myself (41%)
Going for a day-trip (40%)
Place for private/business calls (37%)
Makeshift office (32%)
To go somewhere I’ve never been before (30%)
Going to a drive-in movie (28%)
Going hiking (26%)
Turns out, 69% of Americans consider their car an extension of their home.
Another 68% think of their car as part of the family.
35% of car owners have actually named their car.
When it comes to their vehicle, the average person will eat 288 meals, and sing 432 songs in their vehicle.
Two-thirds say they’ve had some incredible life moments in their car.
For example, 42% have had their first kiss in their car, while 40% have had the “move in together” conversation with a partner.
