automobile

Where would we be without the automobile? The automobile is an indispensable part of modern society. Stop and think for a moment about not only the many types of automobiles that are available, but also how we use them. Obviously, we use our automobiles for transportation, but they have evolved into so much more!

We can use a good Jeep to climb nearly vertical up the side of a mountain. We can use a Hummer like a tank to take us through all types of terrain (in places where most vehicles would get stuck), and we can use an Indy car to make great left turns and to go over 200 mph! We can drive as high as a 3-story building (not quite) using a lift kit on a truck, or we can hug the road more intimately by "slamming" our automobile and getting high-centered on every speed bump.

Some guys even use their automobile as a "chick magnet" (which may or may not work). Other people even use their automobile as a decoration by sprucing it up with designs and all kinds of spiffy car accessories. Oh, and those people who rev up their engine really loud just to get attention...
