Imagine a day without a car resting just twenty feet away, and how different life would be. Life would be much slower; it would lack the extreme rapidity that exists today. If one icon serves to represent life in America, the automobile would be it. Baseball has been around for the same amount of time, and has been labeled "America"tms pastime," but most people do not watch or play baseball everyday. Neither is our icon the American flag; in the wake of our nation"tms tragedy, the stars and stripes has lost a large part of its symbolic qualities. America"tms fascination and subsequent need for the car has caused the automobile to become the one icon that has stood the test of time.
On a typical afternoon back home, as mom cooks diligently in the kitchen, I suddenly hear an outburst. "Oh, no! I forgot to get milk at the store." She had gone to the store just hours beforehand, planning dinner for the family. It seems like such a great inconvenience to have to drive three miles back to the store for one insignificant yet imperative item. It takes all of twenty minutes to drive to the store and back; in the minds of people today, that is a hefty port

hey account for the fact that cars have been around for only a century. Imagine a day without a car resting just twenty feet away, and how different life would be. Life would be much slower; it would lack the extreme rapidity that exists today. If one icon serves to represent life in America, the automobile would be it. Baseball has been around for the same amount of time, and has been labeled "America"tms pastime," but most people do not watch or play baseball everyday. Neither is our icon the American flag; in the wake of our nation"tms tragedy, the stars and stripes has lost a large part of its symbolic qualities. America"tms fascination and subsequent need for the car has caused the automobile to become the one icon that has stood the test of time.
The automobile not only presents great conveniences, and it doesn"tmt just help speed up the pace of our lives; this versatile machine exists as a means of finding a specific identity. Stereotypically, there is a specific make and model that fits certain types of people. Most male drivers enjoy driving either gigantic trucks with huge tires, lifted so high it is impossible to even get on board, or a boosted muscle car bejeweled with performance parts and a roaring sound. The classic female automobile is the Volkswagen Jetta, a sporty little car that would tarnish a man"tms image if he was ever caught driving one. Middle-aged mothers drive minivans or SUVs to and from soccer practice; the wealthy businessperson will drive a nice BMW or Lexus, dressed professionally en route to a large metropolitan location.
