There's alot of individual variation in both sexes but I gotta go with "Yes."

The car companies survive by knowing their customers (more or less) and SUVs and minivans are built specifically for women. Look who's driving the vehicles. If a guy is driving the SUV, the whole tribe is in it. If Momma is driving Dad is off driving the 'Vette.

As for space heating, it is axiomatic in the HVAC biz that your hot and cold calls come from females. Its that surface-to-volume ratio thing.

I also have noted what Bror Jace has noted. I am active on some pickup sites and the big tires and lift kits are coming off and I am no longer the crazy guy on the forums.

But neither sex will part with the damn automatic transmissions.
