There are more than 117 million automobiles, 31 million trucks, 5 million motorcycles, and 500,000 buses that are traveling on the roads and interstates on average each day (Altschiller 21).

As a farm boy he knew from first-hand experience that farming could be backbreaking work, and he knew that machinery could ease the burden. He saw the automobile as a piece of machinery (Sorensen 17).

It soon became apparent that the car would not only ease man's burden, but that it would also enable him to enjoy a fuller life (Sorensen 17). .
