I developed a passion for cars when I was a kid. I found a tyre on the street, and I figured that I could roll it successfully. That made me love wheels.
If you goin’ to work, you gonna put my album on. If you happen to be makin’ an hour-and-a-half drive, you gonna put my album on, because people spend more time in their car then they do in clubs.
Everyone wants to call wrestling ‘the business.’ Why don’t you treat it like a business? I don’t care if you’re running a diner, if you’re running a car wash or a wrestling company. It’s all business.
Look at the Prius. It’s a nerd car. Yeah, you’re being environmentally friendly, but your dating life is gonna suck.
Like the tail fins on fifties American cars or the parabolic shapes of Populuxe furniture, ‘West Side Story’ incarnates the dream of momentum in the golden age of the twentieth century.
It’s worth noting that everything – from the Internet to electric cars, genomic sequencing, mobile apps, and social media – were pioneered by startups, not existing companies.
I think everyone is forgetting what plastic surgery is for – if you have a face-eating tumour, lose a breast or are involved in a car accident, then it’s a good idea.
In 1940, President Roosevelt called on American industry to become the ‘great arsenal of democracy.’ Automotive manufacturers in Michigan responded and converted their assembly lines from cars to tanks and helped America win World War II.
It’s that I don’t like white paper backgrounds. A woman does not live in front of white paper. She lives on the street, in a motor car, in a hotel room.
My dad used to take me to training in bangers, and we used to push the car. He would do whatever it would take, so I owe my family.
Every great device, gadget, electric car, and robot would be even greater if batteries didn’t suck so badly.
I will never shave off my beard and moustache. I did once, for charity, but my wife said, ‘Good grief, how awful, you look like an American car with all the chrome removed.’
As a geek, I take umbrage at the notion that chips are not sexy. But yes, robots, drones, satellites and self-driving cars are the kinds of things that excite me.
I have an answering machine in my car. It says, I’m home now. But leave a message and I’ll call when I’m out.
The punk rockers said, ‘Learn three chords and form a band.’ And we thought, ‘Why learn any chords?’ We wanted to make music like Ford made cars on the industrial belt. Industrial music for industrial people.
All those rappers, they’re the only glamorous people working in music now. They dress up in these chains of gold, cars, girls and this and that, high-heeled shoes.
When I saw all those other drivers, I realized that they wanted to win that money just as much as I did. But I didn’t have to worry. A tire came off my car and I was lucky I got it off the track.
You can’t be as old as I am without waking up with a surprised look on your face every morning: ‘Holy Christ, whaddya know – I’m still around!’ It’s absolutely amazing that I survived all the booze and smoking and the cars and the career.
Bullies now aren’t just jocks. They’re rich kids in the nice cars with the fancy clothes.
I got married at 18 after dating my boyfriend for about a year. It was quick, I know. My husband joined the Army, and I thought I’d go to college. But we moved to Fort Hood for his job with no money, not even a car.
I started life washing cars in Canada before moving on to selling life insurance and vacuum cleaners. Later, I went through a programme by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, which literally changed my life. It was the turning point.
The creative process is mysterious; a conversation, a ride in the car, or a melody can trigger something.
I love driving. I still drive a 1993 Toyota Camry. I do want to get an electric car, but it’s less of a carbon footprint if you keep your old, fuel-efficient car on the road than if you say ‘build me a whole new car.’
I used to take my car and go down to the South Island for five or six days and climb glaciers and jump out of planes and jump off bridges and go white water rafting – a bit of thrill-seeking.
Cars mean nothing to me. I’m not a car guy.
