4. What’s with American car culture?

As a symbol of freedom and conquest, the US has a timeless relationship of love and intimacy with cars. Almost everything can be done in a car — no wonder it's the land of the drive-through. In many countries, a person can only drive a car once they’re a legal adult, but in the US, owning a car is almost a necessity, and so it’s not uncommon to see 15-year-olds cruising around in cars with their learner’s permit.
