The automobile changed our dress, manners, social customs, vacation habits, the shape of our cities, consumer purchasing patterns, common tastes and positions in intercourse.

The car has become a secular sanctuary for the individual, his shrine to the self, his mobile Walden Pond.

The car has become an article of dress without which we feel uncertain, unclad, and incomplete in the urban compound..

I think one of the reasons Americans are so reluctant to carpool is that, for many, the commute is their Walden Pond-their only quiet time alone.

A Ford will run whenever a quorum of its parts is present.
