If this replaces cars our ancestors will likely think of our form of travel as gruelingly slow. In the same way that chariots invoke images of the dawn of modern civilization B.C., in all probability so will the automobile help define our era in history in another two thousand years. The automobile has provided a whole industry for workers in our country and around the world. It has made a black murky substance found hundreds of feet deep in the early precious. Cars themselves can illicit feelings of love, admiration and beauty in normal human beings.
People spend huge chunks of their life restoring old cars or improving perfectly good ones.
The car is in a practical sense nothing more than transportation. To some people a car is home away from home, while to others it is a way of making a statement. Personally I have always enjoyed and spent countless hours working on them. I installed the best sound system money can buy in my truck and hand washed it weekly. I washed cars for my neighbors during high school, and my dad works in Detroit as a supplier for the big three.
