Well it appears a little flu can't keep us down. 82% of us would prefer to man up and let our illness run its course (46.5% - and include me in that group) or pop some pills and self medicate (35.3%), rather than let someone else nurse us back to health. And possibly question our manhood. Only a slim 6% would even consider going to the doc to get some help. (No wonder women outlive us.)

For this week's poll I want to know what you look for when buying a car. I spent last week at the New York Auto Show (posts to follow), and got into a discussion with American car makers about why the interiors of foreign cars look so much better and seem to have better gadgets for the money. Let's just say it was a long discussion.

I'm a bells and whistles guy. I want a lot of toys for my money. And since I'm going to spend the vast majority of my time inside the car, I want comfort and convenience. Exterior styling runs a close second. Some guys in the discussion only cared about the car's performance. Others didn't care what the car looked like, as long as they spent a minimal amount of time at the pump.

Let me know what drives you when buying a car. The new poll is on the right.
