“And so you try your best. Sometimes you go in with one thing, with one desire and come out with something else.

“It's time now to rent a car, roll down the windows and prepare for your first big thrill: the freeways. They're so much fun they should charge admission.

Forget the propaganda you've heard about clean air; demand oxygen you can see in all its glorious discoloration.”
