People may not realise their car choice can make more of an impression than they might at first think.
According to a study by Scrap Car Comparison, drivers who own a BMW are the most likely to give others the 'ick' - a popular way of saying you’ve been well and truly turned off - with eight per cent of people preferring that potential partners don't drive one. People are also turned off by Fiat, Skoda and Smart car drivers, which took joint second spot with seven per cent of respondents getting the ick.
Meanwhile, Mercedes beat out Porsche and Lamborghini to take the crown as the car brand that is the biggest turn-on, with 14 percent finding a partner with a Merc in their garage more attractive. Ironically, Mercedes Benz is a part-owner of Smart.
For car brands, the rankings were fairly close, and while BMW topped the table it only did so by a single percentage point. Additionally no car gave more than 10 percent of those surveyed the ick.
However, the more than 2,000 people surveyed were much more aligned when it came to the driving habits that turned them off. Unsurprisingly, reckless and dangerous habits were seen to be a major turn off and made motorists seem less attractive.

The title says it all. Just like Snakes On A Plane was about just that, the new horror comedy Cocaine Bear is about a 500 pound bear on a jihad after coming upon a ton of cocaine dropped into rural Georgia on a drug run gone wrong. The bear ingests the coke and soon you have a beast roaring out of control devouring whatever human comes on to his path. It is all not to be taken seriously, but fortunately director Elizabeth Banks (Charlie’s Angels, Pitch Perfect 2) is smart enough to give audiences hungry for a ‘Jaws’ in the wilderness, some nice scares mixed in with the laughs plus a bit more bang for their buck than just a marketable title.
