My mom always plays Madonna in the car, so I was kind of familiar with what she was into in the ‘80s.
A few days after 9/11, I put the old cassette of ‘Born in the U.S.A.,’ twisted and worn, on the car deck as I drove past West Point, across the Bear Mountain Bridge, along the Hudson River. It was the perfect moment to hear it.
If I put 3,000 miles a year on my car, that’s a lot. If I buy them, it just doesn’t make sense, so I lease them, and my company writes the whole car expense off.
My biggest fear in life is living Nativity scenes. I hide in cars and drive around looking at them. Something about it is really scary to me. What parent would put their child in there with mules and camels and straw?
What does everyone in America own? A car. What is the quickest way to reduce our dependence on oil? Embrace hybrid technology.
Grandma’s Camry, I don’t think it goes past 100. If you’re in an F1 car you can do circles around my Grandma’s Camry. But it’s Ol’ Reliable, for sure.
My friend is a former race car driver, so he races for Mercedes, and I root for him. I have a car that I love to race, I’ll take it to the track.
Stay humble. Always answer your phone – no matter who else is in the car.
I don’t like getting up in the morning, getting in a car, driving on a freeway, and stopping at a gate where two guards are standing there, then walk into a studio that looks like a bunch of airplane hangars.
For us, it wasn’t important to have a big house, a few cars, always have the newest clothes. Solidarity as a family was important. We were there for each other and always will be.
When walking, you see things that you miss in a motor car or on the train. You give your mind space to ponder.
I always keep a ball in the car. You never know.
Exercise is roughly equivalent to an oil lube and a filter for a car. You don’t have to do it, but when you do, it makes the car run a lot better.
Flying cars are not a very efficient way to move things from one point to another.
My grandmother was probably the first person who I thought was beautiful. She was incredibly stylish, she had big hair, big cars. I was probably 3 years old, but she was like a cartoon character.
The people who criticise you will not be the ones taking care of your legs when you are in your wheelchair. People who never drove a car in these conditions, they just don’t know.
I had never been able to get a car that said how much I cared about the environment until I drove electric.
I don’t care about perception I care about cars, girls & money.
As human beings, we’re very materialistic and have all this stuff – furs and cars and diamonds and money.
I’m enjoying the money, the big house, the cars; what ghetto kid wouldn’t?
I love mechanical things, older cars especially.
You’re pulling 4-5G for a lot of the corners around the lap. We build up lactic acid because there are a lot of vibrations in the car, and you have to have strong legs to hit the brake pedal. We need to be fit to do every lap at 100%.
Everybody in Hollywood has to beat the ‘no’ – and if you write code in Silicon Valley, or if you design cars in Detroit, if you manage hedge funds in Lower Manhattan, you also have to learn to beat the ‘no.’
I was really, really shy. My dad used to drive me for an hour and a half to go training. I used to finish school, jump in the car, come back, and go to bed. I missed out on socialising with my friends when I was a shy child anyway.
I never bothered with cars. I was probably one of the few kids in school who didn’t run around with hot-rod magazines. As I would be at home fiddling with my guitar, they would be fiddling with a car engine.
