I don’t think anything symbolizes freedom for a man as does the car! For right or for wrong, for good or for bad, a man is never truly trapped as long as he can get in his car and drive away! (I went out for a ride and I never went back!)

I do not condone the above, merely make an observation!

Emergence of car probably affected American society as dramatically as has the computer in present times. Timothy and Ellen will live happily ever after. Thanks for visiting.

Agree on your statement about the effect of cars on society. Meanwhile, a good visual story.

I can’t remember this historian but he wrote that in the 1920′s because of cars the divorce rate went up, pregnancies rose, women began smoking and drinking in public, road construction was stimulated, and tourism grew as an industry. Millions of families changed geographic location across the country, and commuting to work over longer distances grew more common, millions of homes were built around the now more accessible cities leading to the creation of a new idea called the suburbs. Suburb life initiated another wave of change in America as well, all because of the car. The blacksmith and his horses went by the wayside as well. Thank you for visiting this morning. I hope people see that this was to be a humor piece ridiculing men and our need for toys.

Brilliant. I LOVE cars, especially ones with soft tops…

Many would say it was the men that had soft tops not the cars. Oh well.

What is it with boys and cars? My son had every little toy car ever manufactured, so that he and his father could play with them. Ha! Blessings…

That’s cool. Many dads and sons did the trains thing too. I did not get my first car until I was 22. Before that my father said I should learn to like SHOES.
