90 Quotes About Cars For The Coolest Car Lovers

Turn up the music, heat the car seats, drive, and enjoy.

Car lovers know exactly what I’m talking about – because this is the kind of peacefulness and enjoyment only we can understand.

Driving alone while listening to music is therapeutic. You can reflect on your own decisions, think about the future ones, while being in a relaxed environment.

This gives us a kind of a feeling of freedom, which we often lack in this busy and working environment.

Also, most of us have a preference for certain types of cars.

According to this research, “car consumption is never simply about rational economic choices, but is as much about aesthetic, emotional and sensory responses to driving, as well as patterns of kinship, sociability, habitation and work.”

Having all of that in mind, I have composed a list of the best car quotes that I could find online. Enjoy!
