The Driving Woman

 The winning fully decked out Caliber

Would you rather trick out your car than go on a date?

A recent survey from Dodge found that 16 percent of men and 22 percent of women would rather spend time with their car than their significant other. Doing what we may ask?

According to Chrysler designer, Ralph Gilles, these potential daters were decking out their wheels. Last year 36 billion dollars were spent on car customizing.

Gilles says, "You have enthusiasts, you have young people, but you also have "boomer tuners" getting involved. Not to mention soccer moms who want to personalize their SUVs and family vehicles."

To address this craze, Dodge is launching a search for the most "tuned out" tuner. Register with your significant other,  friend or family at DodgeRUTunedOut.com for a chance to win the 2008 Dodge Caliber SRT4. This high-powered vehicle comes "tuned out" directly from the factory so enthusiasts can spend more time with their other half and less time with their car.
