Car?

I guess almost everyone has heard this question: given 2 guys A and B--A who has everything from personality to looks but lacks a car, and B who's inferior to A in every way but has a car--which one would a girl choose?

A friend of mine mentioned just yesterday that initially all girls would choose A, but after having experienced B, they wouldn't trade for anything less. The reasons he gave were adequate. Plain convenience, plus more private time in the car. Just the 2 of you.

But there's more, I think. Given a context like Singapore, a car means more more than just 4 wheels. Having a car often implies the economic ability behind the ownership, and hence life security. Going by the standards of natural selection, this would of course appeal to the internal female biological sense, however the way they might express it ("the feeling is just different lah..."). So far, I have not been helping the case of the men...
