America is a nation on wheels and an American bloke thinks longer and more earnestly about choosing his car than choosing his wife. The words in which the makers describe cars are pure poetry. Looking through the New Yorker magazine we can meet the following descriptions of his car: "the car with youthful beauty that surrounds you with silent strength”, "balanced beauty”, "luxury reflected in every shining inch”, "see its clean length knifing through clear, cool air”, "jewel-bright beauty”, " sculptured in steel”
One of the cars has a "great deep-breathing engine”; the engine of another is "lean-muscled”. But the advertisement I liked best showed a picture of the car, and underneath you read:
"If you know the lass who should have this car, you must admire her very much – she’s gentle, strong and intensely feminine. Her sense of beauty, of the rightness of things accepts this car easily – and because she knows and loves fine things she will have affection for this car. If you know this remarkable lass, you’d be advised to marry her quickly. If you are lucky, you already have.” Almost every American has at least one car, and, as he doesn’t believe in walking anywhere if he can go in a car, there are "drive-in” banks where you can cash a cheque without even turning off your engine, drive-in posts-offices, or drive-in cafeterias where meal is brought to you on a tray that fits neatly on to the door of your car; there is even a drive-in church.
