Why would any scientist want to prove that?  |

Well, IDK then... But I do know one thing. It has been scientificaly proven that the size of the car is in opposite relation to the size of the drivers penis. The bigger the car, the smaller the penis. And since N. Americans all have big cars... Well, the conclusion is that we have bigger dicks than you do. Case closed.

probably not, since the distances are different, north americans drive further and have less public transport options, so probably spend more on gas. being more car reliant and spending so much time in the car makes the requirements different.
