Good cars get you from Point A to Point B. Great cars just get you into trouble.

ANONYMOUS

---

Stealing a man's wife, that's nothing, but stealing his car, that's larceny.

JAMES M. CAIN

---

If all the cars in the United States were placed end to end, it would probably be Labor Day weekend.

DOUG LARSON

---

Cars come in three dimensions: height, width and debt.

EVAN ESAR

---

Cars are the ultimate symbol of freedom, independence and individualism. They offer the freedom to "go anywhere," whenever it suits and with whom one chooses.

SARAH REDSHAW

---

Why is it that all cars are women? Because they're fussy and demanding.

PATRICIA BRIGGS

---

There is little sentimentality associated with an automobile for a real racer. Authentic car freaks, like classic-car collectors or customizers or people who belong to organizations like the Porsche Club of America worship machines, and in so doing subordinate themselves to the automobile. Automobile journalists, for the most part, devote their efforts to fiendishly detailed documentation of the automobiles and their arcane components, at the expense of the men who build and drive them. In their frame of reference, a racing car is a source of fathomless mystery and fascination. Not so with the professional competitor, who relates to his machine primarily as a tool--perhaps even a weapon--that will permit him to beat somebody else.

BROCK YATES

---

Driving a hot car is a lot like sex to me, or a lot like I keep thinking sex should be: A total body experience, overwhelming, to all the senses, taking you places you've never been, packing a punch that leaves you breathless and touches your soul. The Viper was way more satisfying then my last boyfriend.

KAREN MARIE MONING

---

All of those cars were once just a dream in somebody's head.

PETER GABRIEL

---

I think that cars today are almost the exact equivalent of the great Gothic cathedrals: I mean the supreme creation of an era, conceived with passion by unknown artists, and consumed in image if not in usage by a whole population which appropriates them as a purely magical object.

ROLAND BARTHES

---

I invented nothing new. I simply assembled the discoveries of other men behind whom were centuries of work.

HENRY FORD

---

There were some people, it seemed, who were incapable of being pleasant about anything. Of course, the cars that such people drove tended to be difficult as well. Nice cars have nice drivers; bad cars have bad drivers. A person's gearbox revealed everything that you could want to know about that person.

ALEXANDER MCCALL SMITH

---

The car has become the carapace, the protective and aggressive shell, of urban and suburban man.

MARSHALL MCLUHAN

---

There is no class of person more moved by hate than the motorist.

C. R. HEWITT

---

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

MARSHALL MCLUHAN

---

All dash to and fro in motor cars,
Familiar with the roads and settled nowhere.

T.S. ELIOT

---

The reason American cars don’t sell anymore is that they have forgotten how to design the American Dream. What does it matter if you buy a car today or six months from now, because cars are not beautiful. That’s why the American auto industry is in trouble: no design, no desire.

KARL LAGERFELD

---

In the United States every man is entitled to life, liberty and a car in which to pursue happiness.

EVAN ESAR

---

As we drive down the freeways, we see the new cars, but not the massive new-car loans that enslave their drivers to the banks.
