Cars Quotations

During the early days of HootSuite, when social media was still seen as a fad, I made the decision to treat our funding as if it were my personal bank account. That's not to say I blew it on fast cars and fancy dinners. Exactly the opposite.

My dad was very successful running midgets in Texas. Then, his two drivers ran into some bad luck. People started saying that Daddy had lost his touch. That it was the cars and not the drivers. I wanted to race just to prove all those people wrong.

I'm a typical guy. Driving cars and speed are really fun.

In 1940, President Roosevelt called on American industry to become the 'great arsenal of democracy.' Automotive manufacturers in Michigan responded and converted their assembly lines from cars to tanks and helped America win World War II.

I realize at one point, that I was being followed, and then I began to see the surveillance that was going past the road on my house. And so, these cars began to surveil me. People began to follow me around, and it did, it was very disrupting to think that your privacy was being violated, and for no reason that I could come up with.

I always thought it would be a great thing to do an art carwash. So you can actually go and get your car washed, but while you're sitting around waiting you can walk in that hallway where you look at the cars going through the window, and that could be changing exhibitions.

Once the subject matter of rock n' roll changed from cars and pop love songs to songs about really true love and the blues and death and mortality, this light bulb went off in my head and I went, 'Oh, that's what they're doing. That's kind of - that's art.'

We don't need bigger cars or fancier clothes. We need self-respect, identity, community, love, variety, beauty, challenge and a purpose in living that is greater than material accumulation.

The connection to place, to the land, the wind, the sun, stars, the moon... it sounds romantic, but it's true - the visceral experience of motion, of moving through time on some amazing machine - a few cars touch on it, but not too many compared to motorcycles. I always felt that any motorcycle journey was special.

Deprived of the opportunity to judge one another by the cars we drive, New Yorkers, thrown together daily on mass transit, form silent opinions based on our choices of subway reading. Just by glimpsing the cover staring back at us, we can reach the pinnacle of carnal desire or the depths of hatred. Soul mate or mortal enemy.

Corn ethanol can help in the short term, but it has serious limitations, and none of this is going to work if we don't dramatically improve the efficiency of our cars and trucks.

I was brought up in a car family, my dad loved cars and I was taught the art of making an Austin 7 operate.

Buyers of powerful cars place a high premium on the exhaust note, and manufacturers spend a lot of money getting it right. At the same time, high-end cars are expected to filter out the sounds of the mundane world.

Design is very, very critical for the success of the car. We want to find the distinctive features for Chinese cars on the world stage.

They're dressing like in the 50's when they come out to the shows, and many of them have vintage cars.

In China, people are moving from bigger cars to small hatches, and interestingly, the Indian market is graduating to bigger cars and sedans. I will say that we will not put money only in just one segment.

When I think of 'Mad Dog Time,' I think of the fact that I got to drive fast cars all day long up in Canada. That was really fun. We were on these back roads with these great cars.

At Christmas time, I spent an extortionate amount of money on Buzz Lightyear toys, baby clothes, Disney cars and the like.

How we fund transportation in this country is broken. You all pay a gasoline tax, right? Well, cars go farther, we get electric cars, and so on. And then we do more with the money than just build roads. We do bike lanes and mass transit.

If you look at landscape in historical terms, you realize that most of the time we have been on Earth as a species, what has fallen on our retina is landscape, not images of buildings and cars and street lights.

My mother and father instilled in me a sense of purpose not defined by today's street obsession with bling, cars or cribs.

I think cars encapsulate the history of innovation and style - it's the other side of the coin of the car being public enemy No.1.

They had some really cool rigged cars and things that were different that they would tow behind the camera car that were actually on these trailers that manipulated side to side and stuff like they were getting hit, and actually put the actor right in the middle of the chase.

I've always been into cars. Cars are part of our genetic makeup. It's unavoidable.

Bike lanes are the coolest. My favorite past time is flipping off cars from my bicycle. Just kidding - I'm more of a silent resentment kind of girl.

AI does not keep me up at night. Almost no one is working on conscious machines. Deep learning algorithms, or Google search, or Facebook personalization, or Siri or self driving cars or Watson, those have the same relationship to conscious machines as a toaster does to a chess-playing computer.

If I close my eyes, I can remember the first apartment where I lived with my family in Newark, N.J., in the late 1930s. The rooms were lined up like train cars - you had to go through one to get to another - and there wasn't any heat or hot water.

Design - pure beauty - will be number one at Fisker Coachbuild. We want to bring beautiful, desirable cars to the market, limit the production of each model, and do so with the highest quality.

At the earliest age, when I saw a 'wet paint' sign, I had to touch the paint to see if it was wet. When I get stopped at the stoplight in the middle of the night, and there's just no cars coming, and the light is red, I go. I don't think I'm putting anyone in harm's way, and I'll just take the consequences. Because I'm a Libertarian.

I grew up in a culture of motorbikes. So I like racing just fine. Quite a lot, actually. That was when I was a boy in Australia. And I never really made the jump to cars after that.

We need to steer clear of this poverty of ambition, where people want to drive fancy cars and wear nice clothes and live in nice apartments but don't want to work hard to accomplish these things. Everyone should try to realize their full potential.

I fell in love with stories watching a British television puppet show called 'Thunderbirds' when it first came out on TV, about 1965, so I would have been 4 or 5 years old. I went out into the garden at my mom and dad's house, and I used to play with my little dinky toys, little cars and trucks and things.

Obviously, movies, you're often on location, out in the rain or the sun, in a real place where the trees and the cars are real. But when you're on stage, as an actor you're imagining the environment that you're in.

While I may not agree with all of President Obama's energy policies, I strongly supported his successful effort to double fuel economy standards for cars and trucks to 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025.

The performance of all five Cobalt SS Supercharged cars this weekend, from three independent teams, gives us reason to be proud.

The point of short crossings for pedestrians is air quality, so that cars sit and idle for as short a time as possible.

We appreciate dialogue with all of our customers. Ford is proud of its tradition of treating all with respect, and we remain focused on what we do best - building and selling the most innovative cars and trucks.

We are providing a sanctuary for God's people. You don't hear sirens and police cars going up and down around here.

We've added a FEMA disaster advisory alerting consumers to cars that were registered in the gulf.

We usually watch the traffic as it grows on the roadway. When you are tripping 14,000 cars a day you are probably at a level of service that requires a larger road.

There are some businesses that have weeds and grass growing in front of the lots, cars with flat tires and cars parked on the sidewalks. We want to encourage the owners of the property to take care of that and clean up in front of their places.

We strengthened our leadership position in key segments such as minivans and large cars with our sales in January. Our car business is up 20 percent, and our LX products are up 62 percent. The Dodge Caliber begins production today and gives us a strong entry into the small car segment with an attractive price starting at $13,985. We are now a full-time car player.

We started introducing clear pricing two years ago. The success of Mustang and Fusion proves that it works. We will bring sticker prices more in line with actual transaction prices and cap 'cash on the hood' rebates as we introduce new cars and trucks into the marketplace. It will protect our margins and consumers, too, through higher resale values.

We spent two nights camping there, but never saw anything but dozens of cars driving in at night trying to catch a glimpse of the ghost,

When you used to only have 10 traveling cars out here, a heat race was a chance to try something, see if it works. It's not like that anymore. You have to qualify. It's all or nothing there. You have to get out of your heat race, so it's all or nothing there. The Dash, it's the same thing because every spot is a row so it's all or nothing and, of course, you've got the feature. There is never a chance to relax, or a chance to be off one bit. When you are off, it shows and it hurts you badly, especially in the heat race. You just got to be good all night long. You have to stay focused all night, every night, all year.

When you think Roger is only one mile an hour off Buddy, it shows you how tight it is up front. Having three cars here has been a great month for us.

There is no question that crossovers are where we need to be, and that they have to be as hot and compelling as cars like our Mustang.

Until we can implement something on the cars with the bumpers or something to weaken the noses up a little bit, this is what we have to live with through Daytona.

Whether with furniture, fashion or cars -- whenever there are great design elements from the past that can be lifted and updated, they will be. And in terms of branding, whenever car manufacturers can remind consumers of their glory days, that always translates into profit.

Watch out for those cars owned by salesmen or servicemen. Any educated consumer can look at a car and tell whether it's well maintained. Twenty-to-thirty thousand miles are common (for a rental or fleet car). Look at the odometer and the type of vehicle.

We're starting our fifth season of competition, and this is the timeframe we expected to see the growth in the series. We had to establish a foothold, and we've done that. Now we're seeing more drivers and teams who want to compete in the series because we are managing the cost, and we've improved the prize payout. We expect even more cars on the grid when we start the season.

We're spending a lot more time in our cars commuting, and we're doing a lot more in cars, especially with new technologies. We do a lot of things and we don't get caught. But in fact we're just lucky and we get complacent.

When we came over the (U.S. Route 136) bridge, there were about 40 cars and a police escort waiting for us. We took a victory lap around town. It was like a carnival. The kids needed the win, and the town needed the win.

What a fantastic venue. I think the film played before the cars swooped onto the stage conveyed the excitement of F1. The livery looked fantastic and all six of us are keen to get a good result this weekend.

We're going to have a ribbon-cutting and a new showing of the new cars.

Years ago with 650 horsepower cars that weighed 2,600 or 2,700 pounds, it was so different. Now, we have lighter cars with 400 horsepower that take far more finesse to drive.

With the high cost of fuel for our race teams and fans, we felt it was best to make the call early as opposed to waiting until later in the day. We feel bad because we were expecting a great field of cars and a large crowd, but we wanted save as much expense for people as we could.

With none of our cars in it, it disappoints me greatly. ... As a competitor, I'm hugely disappointed. As a car owner, you can see how good things could be.

Were it not for the third cars, the Friday session would just be dire.

We're just lighter into the cars that are more popular in the mainstream clubs - Corvettes and Mustangs and '57 Chevys,

We're just happy that no other cars were involved and no one else got hurt.

With these discounts out there, people who were thinking of buying cars later in the year bought them earlier instead.

With the ongoing globalization of GM's product development organization, and the implementation of our global architecture strategy, Bob felt he needed to devote his efforts to product development full time, and I agreed, ... Bob's legacy at GM will be in our future cars and trucks. It makes sense for him to devote his full energies to that critical task.

With the new MB86276 2D GDC, we are expanding our controller line to meet the specific price and performance benchmarks of North American vehicle manufacturers. This version meets the industry's requirements for navigation systems appropriate for mid-range cars and trucks in the U.S. and Canada.

We know how to play offense and play to win. Our plan will deliver more products - from small cars to our largest trucks - that are unmistakably Fords.

Vehicles are being built better and require less repair, so we've been getting by with a shrinking work force. But the number of cars in this country keeps increasing. There is definitely going to be more demand for automotive technicians when these large numbers start retiring.

Uh, Disneyland Drive right on the entrance to the 5 Freeway . . . actually we pulled off to the side but, unfortunately, we have a bunch of paparazzi cars also following us.

We're still not where we need to be on these types of tracks, but it's a learning process. We're learning from everything we're trying with the cars -- whether it works or not. Not every adjustment we make will work, but it gives us more data to make better decisions.

We're seeing the development of tactics in Iraq, such as suicide bombing. Insurgents have been driving cars with explosives into hotels and office buildings. The recruitment may be even more prolific outside Iraq.

We've got a really nice group of cars that can go do pretty much on any given day what anybody can do in the business,

We want to provide an incentive for the auto industry and the American consumer to produce and purchase the cars of the future.

We have to fly legal, which is 1,000 feet over populated areas, and we cruise a little over 100 mph. Kids who have been in commercial flights say that this is so different because you can see the cars and people and cows below. It absolutely amazes them.

We have no idea who were coming over. There was no screening done by immigration authorities before these people came into the United States. There could have been drug dealers, terrorists and God knows who coming in those boats, cars and trains.

There got to be so many people out there, cars were bumper to bumper and it became an unsafe situation. The university and us were both aware of it. We decided at that time to go to a draw hunt.

The refinancing boom and effects from the tax rebates are waning, so spending on big-ticket items such as cars may be slowing down, ... But spending on services, which is where the majority of the job creation occurs, has held on, and we expect it to pick up. Friday's payroll report should be a good indication of that.

We actively are exploring a rear-drive, V-8 car and feel there is a place for one in our lineup. GM has made it clear there's a place for rear-drive cars in the marketplace today, and it's no secret GM is exploring ways to use a rear-drive platform for a performance vehicle.

We want the drivers, the crews and the strategy to decide a race, not some little innovative deal. We want the cars to be as equal as can be and let the best teams win. That has served the sport pretty well to date.

We designed this car to run for a long time, at road courses, short tracks, intermediate-sized tracks all the way to Daytona. You would be able to run the same foundation car, the frame, the cage, the body, all of the components that today are being swapped around as the cars are purpose-built for certain types of tracks. We're eliminating that with this car.

What we're doing is giving them an incentive to turn more cars around.

What we propose is changing that to a greenhouse gas focus program and having cars and light trucks together in that program, but announced in advance so that companies can reach (the targets) over time and benefit from a program, like the acid rain program to be able to get the most cost effective reductions.

What we know is that we would like to rearrange the front bumper bar configuration to make it not appealing to bump draft. At the same time, we have to maintain the integrity of the front end of the race cars for crash purposes. There's a lot of energy absorption in the front bumpers that we run on the cars here.

There are plenty of other cars we can use and we will definitely do that. We just hope we find this one.

We share information really well together all the teams do and we give each other racing room, ... It's fun to race with Matt and these other guys. Man, it's just unbelievable that our cars run this good.

We share information really well together ? all the teams do ? and we give each other racing room, ... It's fun to race with Matt and these other guys. Man, it's just unbelievable that our cars run this good.

We share information really well together -- all the teams do -- and we give each other racing room, ... It's fun to race with Matt and these other guys. Man, it's just unbelievable that our cars run this good.

We've been in the truck for 30 hours. There were people sleeping in their cars on the side of the highway.

We've seen quite a bit of that 'richening,' even with low (priced) cars. If you look at vehicles now, it's not unusual for small cars to have stackable CD changers or satellite. It's quite a change from old beer-can-on-wheels day when the least expensive cars had no options -- no air, not even an automatic transmission.

It's quite a change from old beer-can-on-wheels day when the least expensive cars had no options -- no air, not even an automatic transmission.

We have revolutionized the way consumers buy cars. This will be the first time northeastern area residents will have an opportunity to experience a no- hassle, no-haggle, fun and easy car shopping experience. As we continue to grow our store base by 15 to 20 percent each year, we are looking forward to introducing ourselves to more and more consumers in the Northeast.

The problem with that is this building has really thick walls. The signal can't reach the clocks. We will fix this by putting a receiver on the roof the runs on Global Positioning technology, like cars have. This also has an accurate time with it. We have tested this and it works, so the Culp Center will have working clocks.

There are a lot of cars that cut through the neighborhood, too.

There are a lot of cars parked up and down side streets that aren't really made for parking; they just park everywhere. Any extra parking would help fix the problem.

We set our sights much higher this year. We want to win the Manufacturer's Championship, and this is a good start because we proved we can run with the best cars from every other manufacturer out there.

This race also marks our second of three races in which one of our cars will feature a special Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) paint scheme and synergistic 'Energy to Care' logo, ... For this race, the special paint scheme will be on the #20 CITGO Pontiac Crawford that will be driven by Andy and Tony. I know that when I raced our last race proudly carrying the banner, it gave me extra incentive because it is for such a special cause. I'm sure it will energize Andy and Tony for this race as well.

This proposal gives automakers another excuse to not make the cars that people want - ones that use available technology to save consumers money at the gas pump and cut pollution. Making our cars and trucks go farther on a gallon of gas is the biggest single step we can take to save money at the gas pump, cut oil dependence, and curb global warming.

This winter we're going to build a couple of new cars and update our equipment by about nine years, ... Then we're going to go for it again.

We've struggled up to this point a little bit. None of the Bill Davis cars qualified as fast as we thought they could or should. We weren't all that happy with it in the first drafting practice. We need to gain a good bit more.

We've run up around the front at most of the intermediate tracks -- it just seems like something always strikes at some point to derail us from maintaining those strong runs, but our intermediate cars are better and stronger.

When I came into the sport, rookies didn't drive good race cars. You drove junk. Rookies don't step in driving junk anymore. They step in driving top cars because there is no junk. They step in driving really, really good stuff.

The primary question is, are you going to be able to produce cars and trucks that are compelling enough to sustain or even gain market share. Health care and pension costs are important issues but the primary issue is always what does your top line look like.
