It’s no accident that the word “carnage” begins with “car.” Or maybe it is.

There’s no such thing as radar love.

You never hear news reports of "sidewalk rage."

Road signs are too bossy.

Sooner or later, you'll have to see the manager.

If you own a car...

Everything becomes personal when you're in it.

One day you’ll find yourself talking to your car. It won’t be a good day. And they won't be kind words.

Roads aren’t the only place you’ll get dinged.

If you don't own a car...

Your kids will never ask you to buy them a car, because they’ll never want to be seen driving you around.

With the money you save on gas, you can buy a gas station.

You can sit back and watch the Smiths fall further and further behind the Joneses.

You can own a TV the size of a garage.

If you can’t remember where you left your car keys and start wondering if your mind is going, the answer will be obvious.
