Cars

In this country everyone drives a car. They will drive one block to the store. People do not walk in this country. There is such a disconnection in this country because people don't interact with each other on a day to day basis They are never eye to eye to say hello or just a passing glance at someone of the opposite sex who is attractive. The auto has put us in our own little capsule our identity mobile our tank our shield against the world its great for protection from stray dogs and people. But we have to pay a price for this protection. And the price is we are desensitized to society. So when you get around people you either go wild or you are a wallflower afraid to interact with other people. Your skills at getting along with other people are not as in tune or acute As someone who has grown up in a country where people still walk and talk in public. And are not shielded from one another by a steel box on wheels.  This is not the way it use to be the car was a important tool of the 1900's especially the 20's through the 40's we used the cars and trucks for work. Then starting in the 50's the car became something else it was about style and look not just function anymore it was a rolling motel. It had to be fast. Guys mostly started customizing there cars to reflect their own personalities. Then in the 60's the Manufacturers picked up on this and started producing cars that appealed to young viral men and to older men who still wanted to feel young. With the muscle cars that lasted until roughly the 80's. Then the car was not about who you were. It was more about  what you had accomplished.   Or how greedy you were  Could you afford a Mercedes or a Beamer or a Maserati. Or were you driving a Ford..Now the best selling vehicle is a Truck yes the old work truck is now king of the road.,It does not matter what flavor either Ford Chevy Toyota Dodge. So now a working man has to pay out the you know what for a truck because every little girl and her boy friend are buying them and driving the price up. We need to go electric and walk more and ride bikes more and stop being so disconnected with each other     One Mans Opinion
