I've got a feel for my automobile
Article Abstract:
The car has played an extremely significant role in shaping 20th-century popular culture. It has radically changed the way people perceive space and time. Road films have consistently played a part in defining emergent social trends, while the car has also come to be at the centre of 20th-century art. In the 1950s, the car offered physical freedom, while in the 1990s it offers ideological freedom. It also represents sex and a form of communion with ourselves.
