Clark Howard is a hot geek!

According to a study conducted by GM as part of the 2008 Challenge X competition: "Nearly 9 in 10 women (88 percent) say they'd rather chat up someone who owns the latest fuel-efficient car versus the latest sports car."

Here in Atlanta there are rumors that there is a disproportionate number of single women to men. Some say there are 3x's more girls than boys. In 2000, the actual statistics were not that impressive. According to Half Sigma.com, of the non-married,non-Hispanic, working white singles in Atlanta, 55% were women and 45% were men. (Maybe the ratios depends on ethnicity, but these were the only stats I could get my hands on.)

Regardless of the odds, finding the right mate is foremost on most single folks' mind. But we may be on the precipice of a new era. Imagine if everyone drives a "smartcar". There will always be a need for load toting trucks, but gas guzzling Hummers and speed racers could go the way of the Model T. The more scarce the gas, the sexier the scooter. Looks like the times... they are a changing ...no matter who the next U.S. President is.
