About This Quiz

Are you as single and free as a Tesla driving itself, or are you as married as a minivan? Once you tell us about your car's power, quirks and cleanliness, we're sure we'll be able to guess your relationship status. In fact, we think we can do it more accurately than your local weatherperson's forecast.

If you think about it, we spend a lot of time in our vehicles. It's only natural that our relationship with our car could give away the current state of affairs in our love life. We would like to know about the fine details of your car.

Do you have lots of cookie crumbs in the cracks of the console, or are you so neat and tidy that white gloves would have a hard time finding a speck of dust? Knowing all the gritty details about your car will certainly give you away, and you won't even realize you're doing it!

As long as you're not taking this quiz while driving, we feel sure we can accurately guess your relationship status. Sitting inside your car while taking this quiz is highly recommended. It will put you in the frame of mind you need to be in to answer with completeness.
