It almost goes without saying that cheating husbands and wives are not playing it safe. After all, what's more risky than going around behind your significant other's back over and over again? While the act of philandering itself may be inherently unsafe, but a study revealed that what cheaters are driving to get to their other man or woman, is actually pretty ordinary , USA Today reports.
A study conducted by AshleyMadison.com, a dating website designed for people looking for some extracurricular activity, examined the tastes of 3,600 people who use its services. It found that the most popular vehicle among cheating men was a reliable and safe Toyota, while unfaithful women prefer Hondas.
Although most people might assume an unfaithful partner would be cruising around in a luxury car, the findings suggest that there's not one type of cheater, and it could be the person you least suspect.
"Cars can represent a lifestyle, denote financial success and show personality but our survey clearly proves that people having affairs are everyday people," Noel Biderman, AshleyMadison.com's CEO, said in a statement.
Even if you move further down the list, cheaters are picking traditional favorites. The second-favorite car for both men and women was Ford, and Chevy also cracked the top three for both sexes. You'd have to go down to number five before any luxury cars popped up. Specifically, 6.4 percent of cheating men drive a BMW, while 6.6 percent of women are behind the wheel of a Mercedes.
Of course, you don't need to be a cheater to drive a reliable vehicle, and New Jersey State Auto Auction has plenty of makes and models to choose from, all of which are at affordable prices.
