As Americans, we do love our cars. We love the big ones and the little ones. We love the new ones and the old ones. America is a car-loving country, and because we do love our cars so much, we can easily joke about the cars, the drivers, and the driving.

Here are some of my favorite quotes by some of my favorite people:
Henry Morgan said: “A careful driver is one who honks his horn when he goes through a red light.”
Robin Williams quipped: “Ah…so many pedestrians, so little time…”
Dan Rather remarked: “Americans will put up with anything provided it doesn’t block traffic.”
In The Lost Continent, Bill Bryson wrote: “Boston’s freeway system is insane. It was clearly designed by a person who had spent his childhood crashing toy trains.”
An anonymous quote about driving is: “Drive carefully! Remember, it’s not only a car that can be recalled by its maker.”
Dave Berry said: “For many years the National Pretend Speed Limit was fifty-five miles per hour.”
Another anonymous quote that I love is: “Never drive faster than your guardian angel can fly.”
The late Erma Bombeck said, “Never lend your car to anyone to whom you have given birth.”
I love the observation by Price Cobb: “Some days you’re a bug, some days you’re a windshield.”
You have to agree with Dudley Moore: “The best car safety device is a rear-view mirror with a cop in it.”
And last but by no means least, Jeff Foxworthy said: “The problem with the designated driver program, it’s not a desirable job. But if you ever get sucked into doing it, have fun with it. At the end of the night, drop them off at the wrong house.”
