Freedom Brought to You by the American Auto Industry, Hello Officer, Put the Phone Down, and More
Welcome to the first installment of Car Culture. It will be a place for us to talk, think, and explore our addiction to the automobile. Don't fear, it’s not about how much I hate cars, and isn't about forcing you to take the bus or ‘worse’ yet ride your bike. It is about understanding the history of our love affair with the automobile, and its true costs and consequences.
