Auto Parts Brain Boy: Lessons from Mary

I read in an article once that a big chunk of our lives is lived with the trusty automobile. It has in many instances become part of our families. We have learned to care for it as we do our children. we love and cherish it as a loved one and we do our best to treat it if it gets broken.

No better proof is there of this truth than to see what men of fame has spoken regarding these contraptions on wheels we can truly never do without.

Here are a few of the best quotes I have seen on cars and everything about them. I concur with a lot of them especially with the long hours I have spent with my own Mary.
