Here is a new car, a new iPhone. We buy. We discard. We buy again. In recent years, we've been doing it faster.
My mother's sister was killed in a trolley car accident, so I was raised as one of eight with my sister and six male cousins.
I bought a car, but not just any car; I bought a Volvo, which was the safest on the road at the time. It's not any more, so I upgraded to the Mercedes.
I'd had a really bad car accident years ago, and basically, the ligaments in the back of my neck were ripped, and I'd never addressed that.
Obviously the first sentiment is disappointment that we didn't get the car home and more disappointment that at the time that it stopped the car was in the lead.
I think cars encapsulate the history of innovation and style - it's the other side of the coin of the car being public enemy No.1.
Ford used to come to work in a big car with two Admiral's flags, on each side of the car. His assistant would be there with his accordion, playing, Hail to the Chief.
There are people who own cars and are getting free cell phones. A car helps one find a job, too. Where do you draw the line?
Brian O'Conner: [Etihad towers scene] Cars can't fly, Dom, cars can't fly!
I got into cars through my father. He used to work on cars. My job was to hold the light, which pretty much was the limit of my mechanical abilities.

The wisest thing my grandpa ever said to me before he died was "Stop!" Thinking back, I don't know if he was talking to me or the car that ran him over. I prefer to think he was talking to the car, because how could he be so foolish to try to talk to...
I stand beside Tom's barn and ponder the benign heedlessness of the people in the speeding cars, and here I am in the speeding car. In my heart I wish the bypass had never been built; in my car I never take the old way.
When you drive a car, either you manage it and feel it with the grip of the car, or, like me, you fix it on visual speed. If you do it through the grip, you lose it very quickly - because when the track changes, you can have scares. I do it visually,...
Annie Brackett: [Michael Myers' car cruises by the girls walking home from school] Hey, jerk! Speed kills! [the car screeches to a halt] Annie Brackett: God, can't he take a joke? Laurie: You know Annie some day you're going to get us all in deep tro...
Rusty Griswold: Dad, this is not the car you ordered! Clark: Settle down Russ. Let me handle this. Ed, uh... this is not the car I ordered. I distinctly ordered the Antartic Blue Super Sports Wagon with the C.B. and optional rally fun pack. Ed, the c...
Amazing that the human race has taken enough time out from thinking about food or sex to create the arts and sciences.
No knowledge comes to you late. It comes just at the time when you are ready for it.
