Proof that survey questions are dumb, people who answer surveys are dumb, and articles written about both are especially dumb.
More trucks + less sex = less truck people.
First few minutes of blindly fleeing? Sure, fight or flight kicked in and you can point to panic. Several minutes of hauling ass while PUSHING a motorcycle and grinding the frame on the freeway, then ditching the motorcycle, driving even further, then ditching the car and THEN trying to report the car stolen?
